Anna, Rex and me going for a walk in the park below Grandma's house.
There are so many beautiful sunsets at Grandma's house, and yet it is still impossible to take them for granted...
Grandma loves to play bridge, and it's rare that she can get together three other bridge players, but this is the perfect opportunity! The Grandma-Cliff team trounced the Dad-Rex team. The following night, the fortunes were reversed.
Jeremy has just returned from visiting his family in New York for the holidays. I am very happy to see him. It was a long eight days!
Cliff and Karina are ready to head out for a night in San Francisco with Ian, their friend who is visiting from Sydney for the holidays.
It's New Year's Eve, and we have traveled to Golden Gate Park to visit the Conservatory of Flowers. Alas, it's a Monday, and the Conservatory is closed on Mondays! Some confusion ensues. We decide to head to Strybing Arboretum instead.

Mom in Strybing Arboretum at Golden Gate Park. Since she was always on the other end of the camera, there aren't nearly enough pictures of her!
We are all looking up at a falcon that has perched in the cypress tree overhead.
Dad is taking a video of me holding two colorful Japanese maple leaves.
Back at Grandma's house, I am showing old family photos to Karina, Jeremy and Anna.
This is the first in a series of Official Family Portraits. Here, the Kerrs sit on the couch, with significant others positioned directly behind.
And now we have men on the couch with their ladies behind them.
Now, ladies on the couch and men behind!
Having exhausted all the reasonable configurations, we now swap glasses. Cliff is wearing Karina's glasses, I am wearing Jeremy's glasses, and I'm not too sure what Rex and Anna have done.
When it comes to family portraits, you can only keep a straight face for so long.
Awww. Aren't we cute! Happy 2008, everyone! ~~ THE END ~~
