January, February and March 2008

	Dan's 31st Birthday/ James & Josh at Riley Park The family gathered for Dinner and celebration as Dan charged into maturity. Age begins to take it's toll though, as he suffered a rupture disk in March. Right: James and Joshua enjoyed a January romp at the Riley Park. Andy shared these pictures with me. Also several other January memories.
	Nathan Potter Wedding/Cold Campfire Our dear friends the Potter's celebrated their 3rd wedding in less than a year in January. This time it was Nathan, 6th in the Potter line. Luke and Peter joined me, along with a bunch of family friends. Luke was the DJ for the wedding reception. Right: Andy got an itch to make a bonfire out back and roast marshmellers in February. It was actually a beautiful evening, and a very pleasant event.
	Chas & Carrie Vacation in Arizona/Anchors Away Parties Carrie and Chas traveled to a Scottsdale Princess, an Arizona resort. This was an expense-paid hospital conference for 6 days. We had a wonderful time together, very beautiful and restful. Right: Anchors Away has been in full swing since early January, and occupies much of Chas' time and thoughts this time of year. We have a wonderful group of high school seniors who are very eager to learn. We've had two gatherings for them in March, including a social gathering at the Taylor's.
	Easter Celebration/Other March Memories Easter was again a glorious celebration of our Savior's resurrection. Sharing it with family was as blessed occasion as I can ever remember. Carrie again went the whole hog on Easter dinner, but Dan and Chas are currently competing to see who can lose 14% of his body weight first. This unfortunately requires self-discipline when eating, some that Chas is sorely lacking. Right: A few other picture memories from March, including a panoramic view of our back yard with the Brandywine several feet above flood stage. (Drag the horizontal slider to see the entire picture)
