Farewell New York
2011-11-07T00:21:53.991-05:00
The move from New York back to California was a long and painful process on many levels. From March to September we spent countless hours of sorting, trashing, donating and packing, and still found ourselves with so much STUFF to have loaded into a semi and shipped across the USA. I deliberately took no pictures of this crazy endeavor. Then there was our NY home to sell in a market that just couldn't find the bottom. There were sad goodbyes to our dear friends and all the minute logistics of leaving jobs, shipping vehicles, closing accounts, forwarding mail...yadayada
BUT! We did it and are thrilled to be renting a condo in beautiful Avila Beach nearer our children & grandchildren.

Nolan Joins Our Family
2011-11-02T02:25:37.900-04:00
Each new grandchild is such a precious gift. Nolan joined our family on August 22nd. By coincidence I flew from New York to Santa Barbara on that very day and was driving up to San Luis Obispo when I learned that Kelli was in the hospital and delivery was eminent. I was thrilled to visit the hospital soon after he was born. (image)
North Carolina Fun

Early in August Jason and Kimberly spent a week in Europe where Jason completed an Iron Man competition in Germany. What an amazing accomplishment for him and his very supportive wife.

July Fun in the Sun
2011-07-28T10:05:33.794-04:00
On July 1st Randy and I flew to San Diego where we met up with my mom at the airport and drove to Ryan and Leanne's Oceanside Condo to spend 2 nights. It was a busy 4
th of July weekend and the beaches were crowded but we enjoyed the ocean view from the comfort of their home. Ryan treated us to a yummy dinner out where he and Leanne announced that they are expecting
TWINS! We have since learned that one is a boy and the other is not yet revealing. Such happy happy news!

I finally got to meet our newest granddaughter Ryan the end of May. I flew out to Southern California to "help" Ashley & Todd for a few days but mostly I held the baby, played with the boys and went to the beach and Disneyland. Randy was supposed to join me later in the week but required emergency surgery for a detached retina and was not allowed to fly which made both of us sad.

Spring has Sprung
2011-03-22T23:51:42.103-04:00
The calendar thinks Spring has arrived so I'm going to go with it! But this was the view from my front window this morning and more snow is coming Wednesday.(image)
Holidays in Morocco and Spain
2011-03-07T23:11:22.627-05:00
The day after Christmas we left Budapest and flew (via Belgium) to Fez Morocco. Our amazing travel guide Jared had made all of the arrangements for us to spend two incredible days there exploring the ancient walled city.

Thanksgiving!
2011-01-07T22:55:58.879-05:00
OK...so it is January but I'm not going to post Christmas till I review Thanksgiving. We hosted a house full and enjoyed every minute. Randy's parents flew out the week before with Randy's sister Peggy and her husband Jim. Kim and Jason and their family arrived the day before and stayed till the next week. We were joined on Thanksgiving day by Jessica and Jared and their kids and Brent and Cryssi (Jim's daughter) and their two boys.
Halloween Fun
2010-11-12T16:37:42.208-05:00
Randy and I spent Halloween in sunny beautiful California this year. We flew out to be with Ryan's family and friends as he was honored with an Outstanding Trial Attorney award in the greater San Diego area. We took a weekend trip up to San Luis Obispo with their family and then returned to Todd's home for a Halloween Party with some of our grand kids. (image)

God's Creation
I love the Fall in New England. It is as if the great artist tints everything in view in hues of yellow and orange and red.
Family Time

Two weeks ago we flew to Raleigh and joined Ryan, Todd, and Nathan's families in a trek to the Outer Banks. Ryan had rented a large home on the beach and invited us all to come along with he and Leanne's good friends Rob and Felicity and their kids. Jason's family joined us for the last two nights.(image)
Our Max

I knew when I woke up this morning that today would be the day I would finally blog. I love capturing my life and especially those I love with pictures and memories here. And so today I write about Max.

Happy Father's Day
2010-06-18T15:47:39.717-04:00
When I married Randy I had no clue what a terrific Dad he would be to our 5 kids! I consider myself and them very blessed. His love and example have always spoken louder than his words. To celebrate Father's Day this year I'll be taking him (in the near future) to see
Promises Promises on Broadway. Love you Randy!

Last week and the past 2 weekends I got to hang out with Toby, Ben and Chase in New York and Boston while their parents played in Bali. Time with this trio is both exhilarating and exhausting.

Happy Birthday Kelli
2010-03-20T00:01:00.166-04:00
It's tough to find a photo of Kelli without her two girls in her arms! Today she turns 27. Wish I could be with you in Budapest but I'll be thinking about you. What a beautiful daughter you are, inside and out! I hope you feel how much you are loved all day long!(image)
Valentines in February
2010-03-04T23:23:34.569-05:00
I was surrounded by people that I love during the month of February! Kelli, Jared, Scarlett and Lila brought lots of sunshine to an other wise cloudy and snowy winter. On President's weekend Ashley, Todd, Toby, Ben and Chase's visit added to the warmth. During the month I celebrated my thirty something birthday and we took a weekend ski trip to
Killington Vermont.
