San Francisco

Megan's class went on a field trip to Chinatown in San Francisco this week and I had the opportunity to go along with them. What a great trip! We had a great tour of Chinatown with a tour guide that really gave us alot of information about everything. We visited a fortune cookie factory, a temple, a chinese pharmacy, and grocery stores, then we went to have an authentic chinese lunch. The food was much different than what we expected. Poor Megan wouldn't eat anything. So picky!!!

After Chinatown we walked across the Golden Gate Bridge. What a spectacular day. It was clear and sunny so the views were awesome, but the wind about blew us off the bridge. I don't know if it's always that windy, but wow!! I almost lost my camera right out of my hands while taking a picture. Good thing I didn't because then I wouldn't be able to share these great photos.

Kelley's new passion

Kelley has become quite the photographer of flowers the past few weeks. Check out her work!

Easter

We had our annual pre-Easter party again this year. Not as big as usual, but we had just as much fun. Alan & Josh came, along with the Chinn family and Aunt Linda along with Gina. The kids enjoyed an Easter Egg Hunt. Josh was officially not a kid this year, he helped the "men" hide the eggs and didn't participate in the hunt. Uh oh! He's a man now, watch out!!! So Kelley, Megan, Ashley, Emily & AJ had a fun time hunting all around for eggs. The day was complete when Ashley backed up while eating her cake and fell into the pool! Not quite swimming weather, but we will give Ashely the title of "1st in" this year. Poor kid!!!

Gualala in January

Rich and I took a long weekend in January to get away for some R & R. It was a nice time. We stayed in a really cuter home on a cliff overlooking the beautiful Pacific Ocean. Nothing better than hearing the waves crash against the rocks. The weather was pretty bad that weekend, but it didn't matter. We were still away, together and at the ocean! My dream someday, is to go on one of our ocean getaways when its NOT raining. We seem to always get the rain.

In Memory of Ginny

Christmas 2007

I almost forgot to put some pics from Christmas on the page. As usual, I didn't take too many pics but here's what I have.

We had a great Christmas this year. Mom & Dad, Jason & Trina, and Jimmy & Ashley (no pictures -darn!) and Alan & Josh all were able to come to our house. We had a GREAT time.

Cousins

Here are some great pictures of Kelley & Megan with Gina & Kate on New Years day in Orinda. They have so much fun together.
