Photo update

First, I must apologize for the laziness that I am responsible for with The Chesnut Chronicles.  We have been busy with one thing or another, so I have decided to update you all with photos and captions in chronological order of course.

Laney and I catching and observing Bull Trout in early January.  As we were standing in the middle of the river I noticed Laney's custom knit boot made by her aunt Mariah floating down stream of me at a high rate of speed.  And then it was gone...

We had our first official game night in February.

It was a handful with all the kids, but

the guys managed to beat the gals.  I

am sad to say that the gals dominated the

guys in the second official game night...

Delaney started her first swimming lessons in February.  Lora was with her on Tuesday nights and I had Thursdays.  She obviously enjoys the pool.

On February 11th we celebrated Delaney's first birthday at my parents house with lots of family.  The ladies did a great job decorating and baking.  Thanks to all the family that traveled so far to come.

Last weekend we had a guys weekend fishing trip at the Coe cabin.  Jeff and Carl won the card games and I caught a few fish, but no steelhead.  The high point of the trip was hitting drivers off doug bar road, a couple thousand feet above the Imnaha river.  Shows how good the fishing was when play golf instead.  Jason Peterson is hitting and Jeff Bishop and Carl Wheeler are shivering in the gallery.

Today Laney took her first serious steps.  She has taken steps before, but it was much more purposeful and extended today.  And yes I realize my movie production skills are less than stellar...  Apparently I cant rotate hd video...

Matt, Lora, and Delaney
