I apologize to those of you who are viewing this post from colder locations, but perhaps it will help you feel a little bit warmer =)The Roper family decided to spend its Martin Luther King, Jr. Day at Huntington Beach. With John unemployed, you may think every day is a holiday, but he actually likes to get ready and go to the library everyday (to simulate the office) and conduct his job search there. He began this new routine with the new year, and on the first day, as he was kissing me goodbye, Natalie asked him where he was going, to which he replied, "work." She looked at him somewhat incredulousy and said, "you?!"
Since the library was closed on MLKJ Day, we decided to spend the holiday at our favorite beach.
Huntington Beach is a special one for our family as we lived there for a year while John was working at Boeing. We have good memories of that place...

John and his brother Daniel had fun in the snow as well....their snow ball fight was rather amusing (They didn't even stop after receiving a blow to the head or a hit to the tenders).
Melvin was visiting all the way from Ohio. He and Henry are only 3 months apart.
