Greysen Ehresman

I had to post a picture of Greysen, our 3 month old nephew. Yes, he is only 3 months old (and in the 100th percentile for weight in case that is not obvious!). He is such a sweet baby. And soon, he'll have a new buddy!

Miss America

Normally, I would not care about the Miss America pagent, much less do a blog post on it! However, this year we know Miss Iowa, Olivia Myers. She is Jason's mom's husband's grand daughter. Follow?!

Tonight is the final reality show right before the Miss America Pagent, which will air tomorrow night. Jason's mom and husband have been in Las Vegas all week watching the competition.

This year, as part of the final reality show, the American public gets to vote for four of the girls to make it straight to the finals. So, if you are free tonight, tune into TLC and vote for Olivia Myers!

Newport Beach, California

Green grass, tropical flowers, WARM WEATHER, the ocean, surfers, Balboa Island, frozen bananas on a stick . . . oh yeah, all the good things Newport Beach is made of. This is our third year to come here in January for Jason's ALS annual conference. He sits in meetings all day and I get a luxurious vacation out of the deal. Life could hardly be better for me this week!

We got here yesterday at noon. Jason had a free day so we walked the couple miles down to Balboa Island and the beach. It is so fun to come to the same place a few times and do all our favorite things . . .We ate at our favorite hole-in-the-wall Mexican place (see picture), then rented cruiser bikes to ride along the ocean, Jason got his favorite chocolate & toffee covered frozen banana, etc.

This year we had a new highlight . . . seeing lots of waves and surfers. In Jason's second life he would be a California surfer boy . . . he LOVES it! Fortunately for all of us, reincarnation is not reality so he will continue to dream. We were able to walk out onto a rocky pier and have a "front row seat" to the waves crashing in right in front of us. The crashing of waves may just be my favorite of all God's creation. It is breath-taking.
And, to top off a great day, we got to have dinner with good friends - Josh & Rochelle Beck (who live in LA). We had a wonderful time with them.
