After church on Sunday, our good friend, Kirsten, suggested we join them for lunch and that she’d just pick up a few deli meats for sandwiches. The boys could jump on the tampoline with her boys. We decided to join them, and after we finished visiting with other friends at church, we headed for their house. […]

Here, Dada is showing ‘A’ tiny little nativity […]

Driving to Washington for the holidays, we decided to break up the drive into two days. We stopped in Medford for the first night and stayed at the Hampton Inn. This is the perfect place for our family. They had large rooms, a whirlpool tub, a swimming pool and spa, and breakfast the next morning. […]

We took Dado and Dada to Old Sacramento. We planned on spending the day there, but it was so cold, we had to cut it short. The paddle wheel of the Delta King. The tall ship, Hawaiian Chieftain, was docked in Old Sacramento and we got to tour it. This was a fun, unanticipated adventure.
