Newsom-Brown Wedding
Sep 26th, 2020 by leigharev2
Two sets of families and friends unite! Two families whom we have known and befriended through our local homeschool network have come together with two of their kids getting married. Michael and Lauren and a year or two older than our oldest, Alex. They all played together when they were younger and we were in small group with Michael’s parents, Chris and Ginger.
Here’s a few shots from that special day. The photographer asked that no photos be taken during the ceremony. I took these at the reception.

Bittersweet Goodbye Party
Sep 26th, 2020 by leigharev2
My sole/soul sis Aarti is moving back to Australia. On her final week with us, she made us an Indian dinner at Tina’s house. After dinner, we all relaxed in Tina’s hammock tree. I will miss my friend dearly. Grateful for the technology that allows us to keep in touch easily.

I was so tired. Tina’s Alex set me up with a fine cup of joe.

Annual 4th of July Gathering 2020
Sep 10th, 2020 by leigharev2
We have a family tradition where we spend our 4th go July together with my mom’s side of the family. they have been costume parties and it has been a special part of our boy’s childhood.
This year, we had planned to shift location to my brother’s house and also include our dad’s side of the family. But Covid kind of squashed those plans. Instead, we had an outdoor gathering with just our dad’s side.
We drove form CA to Bend, OR. and spent one night at one of our favorite places, McMenamin’s Old St. Francis School. We stayed in their Family Suite, a large three bedroom suite up two flights of stairs. Aside from the stairs, and lugging all our stuff up, it was a really neat place for us. Too bad it was only for one night.
We arrived the next day in Cle Elum and checked into Suncadia Resort.
The boys actually stayed at their uncle’s place, but spent some down time with us too.

Family time at my brother’s! My cousin brought a whole pig to roast. We spent the weekend soaking up precious time together.
Lol! My brother successfully hunted a vole that has been tearing up his yard. One of many… 
Licking up the drippings… 
I love my family!! 
On our last night, my niece KK and her boyfriend Jesse made a magnificent steak dinner for us at their new place!
Heading home, we spent another two nights again in Bend. While walking the park, I found a check that was a paycheck from a local bookstore. Decided to deliver the check personally and discovered another wonderful spot to get lost in Bend for a while!! Dudley’s Bookshop Cafe
Stairwell at the bookstore
Johnny Cash Trail x 2
Jul 22nd, 2020 by leigharev2
These are photos from two separate runs that were close to each other on the calendar. This is a decent run on a bike/pedestrian lane that cuts up around Folsom prison. The second of the two runs was the last few miles Elyse and I needed to reach our goal of 100 miles for the month of June and earn the coveted wooden buckle award for ‘100 Miles to Auburn’ through Western States challenge.
Cronan Ranch 7 Miles
Jul 19th, 2020 by leigharev2
Aarti and I had planned for only five trail miles at Cronan Ranch with Trail Running Adventures, but ended up doing seven. We were both recovering from injuries and were glad we felt well enough to get those extra two miles.
