“We have been so busy we really haven’t had much time to update our blog. We are doing alright, it has been snowing a lot lately in the mountains. Here are some pictures and videos of stuff we have done lately.

Feb. 7th, 2009 Dickens Festival:
We have done this before but we decided to bring AJ along this time. It is a festival every year held in Riverside, CA to celebrate Dickens (the author).

Later that evening Denise was inspired and actually milled some red wheat:

Feb. 8th-13th, 2009 Del Mar, CA
I had a Records Supervisor class in Del Mar for work. Denise and AJ came with me. We got to San Diego ok, but while there the head gasket on the Kia blew up and it was interesting getting back. While down there Denise had bought me this nice chocolate cake for Monday night. Denise called me after she had gotten back to the hotel. Apparently, it wasn’t “”AJized”” and he found it. Not only did he eat 2/3rds of it, but he took the remaining 1/3rd and smeared it along the hotel floors. This is all I got to see of the chocolate cake:
