Last weekend we had a wonderful visit from Jake, Anya, and Maia!!!
It was so exciting to finally meet Miss Maia!
Isn't she beautiful!
It's been a long time since we last saw Jake and Anya and it was great to catch up!
Thank you so much for visiting us!!!

Please meet...



The newest member of our family! He's fives months old.

My beautiful niece!
Actually her birthday was October 2 but today was her birthday party.

Hello everyone!!!
Things are going well.
Last weekend we took a day trip out to San Mateo to visit the Calibjo's. It was nice. They had a wonderful BBQ for us and we got to spend some good time with them! Madison had the weekend off from soccer so the timing was perfect.
Unfortunatey, I forgot my camera!
Can you imagine that?!?!?!
I NEVER forget my camera! That thing and I are connected!!!
I'm a tad bit obsessed with photographs if you haven't already noticed. In particular, the Madison type!
: )

Oh, here's a couple of pictures from Avila Beach over Labor Day!
Also, pictures of Madison with Granddad Terry, Grandma Faye, and Uncle Jon.

It's been awhile since I've posted. Sorry.
Things get pretty busy around here during these months.
Josh and Madison are back in school and this is the busy time for my job also!
Madison's soccer is three days a week, 2 for pracitice, and every Saturday is a game. That definitely keeps us occupied.
We have all been well, just busy, busy, busy!

A Day at the California State Fair!

Madison and my mother, Grandma Terry, spent last Sunday at the fair.
They had a GREAT time!
She said her favorite thing was this jumping ride my mom got pictures of!
She LOVED it!

GO DRAGONFLIES GO!!!
Madison has started soccer and Josh is Assistant Coach. They're having a GREAT time!
They've been practicing but today was their first game. Actually two games for their first day.
I kind of surprised myself. I left with a hoarse voice and a sore throat! No, no, no...
Don't you worry. I'm not one of "those" parents who yell bad or negative words. I'm only there to cheer them on!
It was so fun to watch them play!
In the end we tied one and won the other. Yay!
All the girls did an excellent job!

Madison's first day of second grade!

SHE'S BACK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Yay! We missed her so much!


She had a great time.
Thank you to all of our family on the central coast for making her trip WONDERFUL! She has come home with some great memories and loved seeing everyone.

Monday she starts second grade!

Madison has left!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
It's only been an hour. She's on the road with Jeanie for an 11 day stay with them down on the central coast!
It's so hard but I know this will be good for her.
She'll get to spend a lot of time with all of our family down there.

This is my first time away from her for any considerable amount of time! And never at this distance!
Calm down, calm down, calm down...
This is what I keep saying to myself over and over again! : )
She's going to have a great time.
I miss her already...

Today is our anniversary. I love you Josh!
