Winter Song 12.16

Humans die-love never does.

The best Christmas song ever (IMHO)

When I hear this version of the song by Michael English- I get goosebumps.

The message rings so true for me and helps keep me grounded in this sometimes frantic season.

Merry Christmas to you and yours-
Love,
Kimberley

A Tribute to Brandon Roy

Brandon Roy retired from the Blazers this week. Too young, too soon, too unfair. One of my fondest memories is going to a Blazer game on Christmas with Nick and the boys- the game that Brandon scored 40 points against the Lakers and we won. Everyone was cheering so loud and on the max ride home- there was a party going on! Nick loved basketball and as a family it's one of our favorite past times. I don't know who could take Brandon's place on the team- he was nothing short of a miracle on the court, every time. He never let his team or fans down. I'm going to miss cheering for him.
Thank you Brandon for bringing principles and good sportsmanship back to Portland. We will miss you!

Lunar Eclipse from Oregon

Lucas and I woke up early to see the Lunar Eclipse this morning. This is a photo taken by my friend Kim Patterson's talented daughter. It was really moving (no pun intended)and just makes me mindful of how God created this spectacular, beautiful, complicated world for us to enjoy.

Going with the flow

I have joined the twitter world. I'm not sure how it works exactly, but I'm not happy with facebook these days. You can tweet me @skygaloc

Moon over crown point last night

I never tire of this beautiful view.

Lucas had the best game of his life!

OK- I can't post this on facebook or he would kill me for 'bragging'.
But Lucas scored 31 points! in a basketball tournament this weekend. He was named on the 'all tournament team' for point guard.

So excited to see Lucas' hard work pay off for him. Basketball is his passion. He has grown nearly 7 inches this year and at 5'10" is no longer the shortest player on the team.

He has always admired Steve Nash and has taken more pride in his passing game and assists- but this day the team needed someone to step up and score and Lucas answered the call.

I will post a youtube video highlight reel later.

I doubt he will have many more games like this one- but it's encouraging to see the possibilties for Luc and his basketball season.

XOXO,
Kimberley
