Christmas/end-of-year photo-palooza
Not a lot of words today . . . rather, I thought I would give a pictorial recap of some of my family's activities in 2009. Hope you enjoy them.
This is Barb and Chad (with Matthew sneaking into the background) at the Grassfield High School cross-country awards night in early December.
Our two skim-boarders at the beach in July.
Chad and date pose before the Ring Dance in November. The evening included paparazzi-style picture taking, transportation via limo, dinner at a nice Italian restaurant, the dance, and a post-dance bonfire.
Barbara addresses our church at a meeting in August to discuss the calling of our new pastor. Barb served for twenty months on the pastor search committee. This was a demanding job which she undertook with her usual wisdom, skill, and aplomb.
The family poses with one of the pirates at the Pirate Cove miniature golf course while on vacation in Virginia Beach in July. It's hard to beat spending the day on the beach, dinner at a seafood restaurant, a walk on the boardwalk, some mini-golf, and Dairy Queen to top it all off. Now that's a vacation day.
Barb and Matthew at the third grade Christmas concert earlier this month. Matthew and classmates entertained us with a holiday musical extravaganza.
Matthew and me, post-concert.
Matthew poses with birthday cake in May. He turned eight this year. The birthday party theme was baseball, and we topped off the party with a trip to a Norfolk Tides baseball game.
Chad poses with the Virginia Eastern Region Cross-Country championship trophy. He and the team had a very successful season. We were very impressed and proud of his hard work and dedication during his entire high school cross-country career.
Da boys chillin' during the summer.
In June, Chad went on a mission trip to Ecuador. He worked hard rebuilding a school, shared his faith, and as you can see, established a great rapport with the boys. Oh, and he also ate roasted guinea pig.

Matthew jumps into the picture, full of silliness as usual.
In August, the entire Q family got together for a weekend to celebrate my parent's 70th birthdays. It was special to get everyone together, and we had a great time visiting, going to the beach, and taking mom and dad to their birthday dinner.
