Guitar Hero

Guitar Hero is on my Christmas list this year and so I thought I would share Lindsay's Favorite commercial. She laughs so hard everytime Tony Hawk comes on the screen....he's her favorite.

It's beginning to look a lot like.......

Our Christmas season started officially when Lindsay bought and gave me my first Christmas present. Don't worry there was no Christmas cheating going on (Lindsay told me to write that and I'm not sure what it means so I'm assuming the Abels will understand). I am the proud owner of a Redline Monocog 29er. We have been looking for a bike for me for a while and now I can go "running" with Lindsay without doing that which I am morally oppossed... running.


You may wonder "Justin, you mentioned you live in a small studio apartment in San Francisco. How do you have room for a mountain bike made for a 6'4" man?" We may wonder the same thing........ Lindsay has actually been great about having this monstrousity jamming up our hallway. I love having a bike again and am looking forward to losing a little more of my rootbeer belly.





Another sign of the Christmas season.....

We have started decorating our apartment. I found some mini Christmas lights and decorated our own little Sherwood forest.




Also on the list of decorations for the Eagar studio;

An Oregon Christmas Tree (probably a Noble fir). We are driving to Oregon this weekend to continue a long time Eagar tradition of cutting down our own Christmas Tree.

A Christmas train circling overhead in our livingroom.

Christmas Lights EVERYWHERE!!!!!

I haven't told Lindsay yet but I have this great idea for a Santa Cutout hanging out of our 3rd story window.

Gingerbread Village made by Lindsay. (she said I could have a tractor)

Last but not least TINSEL EVERYWHERE (just kidding we think Tinsel was created by Satan to distract us from the real meaning of Christmas).




As you can tell we are very excited for the Christmas Season. We are also excited to see so many of you and enjoy this happy time together.

Merry Christmas to all and to all a goodnight!!!

Pomegranate Contessa

Lindsay and I picked a bunch of Pomegranates from the Abel Farm. After a discussion with the Eagar's we realized that many of you may have never eaten a pomegranate and may not know how to peel them. Lindsay decided to do her own morning cooking show. May I present to you Lindsay "don't blend my pomegranates" Eagar.....



p.s. Sorry if your neck starts to hurt, I figured out the correct camera angle after a bit..

why i like lindsay.......

Lindsay and I had a great weekend up in Reno for Baby Sophie's blessing. After Lindsay and I realized we have spent most of our marriage in the car and half of that time Lindsay is sleeping. So I decided to take some of that time to think of some fun things about Lindsay that may not be known to the general public. I hope this post doesn't get deleted.




Reason #1 No matter how goofy I am I know that Lindsay will always be there to be my partner in crime. Lindsay has this great ability to be totally comfortable in any situation. Even when her dorky husband is making a scene.


















Reason #2 Lindsay loves my belly. I don't quite understand why she does but she does. Don't worry I do get the occasional "maybe you should do some push-ups".
















Ok, this is just another example of reason #1. I really like this picture














Reason # 3 Lindsay loves piggy back rides. If she could ride on my back all day long she would but this could be awkward in a banking situation in which I work.












I have quite a few more reasons but I couldn't find any more picture to match my reasons. And I'm tired. Goodnight!
