In the hospital room the next day.


Cannot get enough of that cute little face.

Her eyes are like her mother's and her facial structure like her daddy's.

Reminiscing at 1:12 AM

See below to catch-up on some of the highlights from our past month or two.

Remembering the Baby's Room

Ligaya and I have been busy these past weeks preparing for the baby. The room is finally ready, which feels great at 1:09 am. We've had a full summer, a busy fall and look forward to a fun transition with the girl coming soon. And, yes.... the baby's room is a soft pink :)

Remembering UW versus BYU

I got free tickets to the game and went with Seth Dombach, a good friend of ours from our days at Timberline. UW should've won, but their season is over with anyways so it doesn't matter.

Remembering Colorado

I hiked up a fourteener this summer in Estes Park. I thought I was in a lot better shape than I realized when we got past tree line and I wanted to puke the remainder of the hike. Here is our crew at 5 am .... we left the trail head at 3 am. Totally worth it!


The view was worth the nausea.


I barely took this shot 'cause I was exhausted.

Remembering Summer Trek

This August I lead a group of 50 junior highers on an 8 day service project in Montana. We endured long cold rainy days blazing trail through boulder fields for a Christian camp that guides young people into the back country.



At the end of our trip we all hiked up to the top of a cliff that overlooked the camp we stayed at during the week.
