Journey to the Center of the Earth: 3D

What a fun movie! If you are going to see it, you really must see it in 3-D. Much of the fun comes from seeing tape measures, rocks, and fish flying at your face, as well as a few 'roller coaster' effects. 2-D would just be boring.

One nice thing is that our theater gave us good pairs of 'Real-D' glasses to wear, not the flimsy paper ones that you may have been given at other 3-D movies. I wear prescription eye-wear, but that was no problem as the 'Real-D' glasses fit nicely on top of my regular glasses.

What's even better is that it was a clean movie, language and otherwise. I hope you enjoy it as much as I did.

Shower One

Do I call it my baby shower? or Daniel's baby shower? Either way, we had a shower in San Antonio about two weeks ago, and got lots of goodies! Here are the highlights in picture:

My Dad made a guest appearance




















My Aunt Yolanda was gracious enough to host the shower in her home, with my Aunt Melinda's help coordinating and my Aunt Beth's carrot cake, everything came together wonderfully.


It was nice to get to see everyone all together.















And the real reason we were all there, besides to gawk at my swollen face and feet.




Amy and I are due about a week or 2 apart. She's having her third, a surprise.














And the hero of the weekend, Mike, who brought us car parts with such joy you would have thought it was actually the highlight of his weekend.

Setting New Records

We broke our previous record of time it takes to get from San Antonio to Fort Worth! Typically it takes about 4 hours, one Thanksgiving it took about 6 1/2 hours.

2 drink and snack breaks
1 radiator hose
1 alternator and
8 hours later,
we made it home safely.

My ankles suffered the most, swelling to the size of my knees!
