Another successful day on the Mountain. This was our first time this year to go sledding. Today was perfect. I had a photo assignment that involved taking my...

What do girls talk about?

By Leslie Parks - Friday, January 30, 2009
I love this picture of John. He's not squinting and he's laughing, probably at something Isaac said. Now onto the story of the evening. Lona is having a friend sleep over.

View of Mount Baker in the morning. We have had some very frosty mornings here.(I've changed the very bottom picture. It is one of my favorites as of right now.)This year we have signed up to be extension students to a school district. We have enjoyed some benefits to this.

Panning

By Leslie Parks - Monday, January 19, 2009
I have started a photography class as of today. Now the only thing we've learned so far is how the site and the class is going to work. There was a ton of info.
