Happy New Year!

Sarah said to caption this one "Christmas Tree".

Riding the ferris wheel at Christmas in the Park after the Tech Museum.

Same block machine still going strong like it has been for years.

Checked out the Google Earth viewer. Wasn't as impressive as I thought it would be.

Watching "The Human Body" IMAX. Not sure it was completely age appropriate, but the kids were interested.

Having lunch at the old spaghetti factory before going to the tech museum.

Dessert at Pinkberry after lunch.

Trying out the Sunnyvale Five Guys for lunch. Looks just as good as the other ones.

At PAMF Los Altos getting checked out just to be safe.

Double Rainbow this morning. But it wasn't worth crying over or anything - http://bit.ly/hqmqBu.

Last family dinner at Auntie Helen's house before everybody leaves tomorrow.

Mary's hotmail account got hacked; bunch of spam got sent at 5am. Dealing with the cleanup...

Took the car to Bedford Auto Body. Greg Bedford looked at the car and gave me an initial estimate.

Full parking lot at Driven Auto Care (looks like business is good). Paul gave me some good advice on fixing my VW.

My Christmas gift to myself. Time to do some cleanup for the new year.

Swapped out Sarah's car seat today - she loves it. Thanks Auntie Michele, Uncle Phil, Hani & Haji!

Brought the kids to Sky High. We have the whole place to ourselves.

Merry Christmas from San Jose!

Matthew & Sarah dictated and I typed.

Snacks and letter to Santa ready to go.

Kids were cooperative in pushing their junk aside to clear a path for Santa.

Stopping at baskin robbins on the way home.

Bowling at 300 San Jose with everybody.

Having lunch with everybody at Round Table before bowling.

Bye-bye Christmas lights. Maybe we'll come back again next year...

In the park going through the lights. Still deciding whether it was worth the hour wait.

45 minutes later and we're still waiting... This better be worth it.

Waiting in line to get into the Festival of Lights at Vasona Park. Everybody already getting restless.

Stopped to get another estimate on the way home. Everybody wants the other guy's claim number first.

Rear passenger door is messed up. Car beeps every time I start moving telling me the door is open.

Second estimate. They didnt't want to quote anything without taking apart the car in front of the insurance adjuster.

First estimate - close to a "total loss" depending on what else gets found when they take apart the car.

Picking up a copy of the police report from last night.

Got a better pic at home. Most of the damage is on this side. Guess what I have to deal with tomorrow...

Another shot of the guy's hood. His car is obviously not drivable.

Guy slammed into me pretty hard. Crumpled up my car. Still waiting for the police...

Just got rear ended on the highway. Here's the guy who hit me.

Lunar Eclipse 2010. The beginning of it anyway; too cold to stay outside.

Kids asleep. Time to play with my Google TV.

Cousins Noah & Chloe finally made it from Michigan. Welcome to California!

Grabbing burgers for lunch. It was crowded so the kids sat and ate while we stood.

Happy Birthday Elizabeth! (she was too busy running around to be in the picture...)

Having lunch at Red Lobster after Matthew's haircut. He wanted to take a picture with the big lobster.

Matthew getting a haircut this morning.

Sarah's doing a good job and having a blast.

Sarah's turn today to get dressed up for her winter program.

Came out after dinner to check out this year's Glacier Drive lights.

Ready for Matthew's last swim class in this session.

Woo Hoo! I win a free Google TV. Too bad I tried it and it's not super great. But it's good for free.
