Check out our family pictures!

The photos in our slideshow were taken after Christmas of our Maui ohana at Baldwin Beach. Andrew, our talented photographer, helped stage us for our family photos.

In the group pictures (in a variety of positions): Dad, Mom, Aaron, Seth, Katheryn, Patrick, Andrea, Gordon, Andrew, Winying, and Trillium.

Dad is taking the long-term morphine again and continues to have fevers and nausea that come and go as well as general weakness/feeling tired. But his spirits remain high and we ask you to continue to pray for healing, strength, and clarity.

Answer to last trivia:
Dad asked me to revise the trivia question. Rather than using the word hero, he would say the following are some of the top six people he admires (in recent history).

Within the U.S. in recent history:
Ralph Nader
Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.
Ross Perot

Outside the U.S.:
Nelson Mandela
Gandhi
Mikhail Gorbachev

Next Trivia:
* Isabel's (David's mom) CIA boss in the 1950's in Germany became notorious after retiring from the CIA and starting his own security consulting firm in Washington D.C. Who was he and why did he become notorious?

  1. Wow that's a tough question! I don't remember, and google didn't help. Does anyone besides George know?

    Love the pictures, especially Seth's pink ears.

  2. Trivia question: Was it James McCord, whose firm was hired to provide security to the Committee to Re-elect the President? McCord was one of those arrested in the Watergate break-in.

    Those family photos are great. Thanks for posting them.

  4. HI Sweeties all,
    We are thinking about you and sending big love your way. Thanks so much for the update, we want to hear what's happening! We tried to look at the photos but the link didn't work, is there something we should know?
    Are you going to watch the inauguration tomorrow?...I'm very excited...but maybe not enough to walk down there with the temperature in the 30's!
    The concert on the steps of the Lincoln Memorial yesterday was supposed to be awsome...we will watch it tonight, it's probably online.
    Dave, hope you are having a better day and happy to hear about the sunshine!

    Love, Sara, Tim, Emi, Josh, Zeus and Xia
