Grandma Furnare's 97th Birthday

There's nothing better than being with loved ones! Celebrating Grams birthday during these trying times is exactly what we needed! Contsance Furnare is an amazing woman! She sheds light on everyone. She's eternally grateful and extremely positive but also a realist. She says it like it is with grace and understanding. Everyday with her is a gift and being together is good for our souls

The Unimaginable

I woke up this morning not able to reach Sherry. I didn't think anything until an hour later when I still couldn't get a hold of her. She always responded by calling or sending a quick text. Van and I had just dropped off a gift for Jess's birthday in Malaga Cove. As soon as we got home I called Renee to see if she had heard from her. No one had heard from Sherry that morning. I had the worst feeling and knew something happened. I called the police to do a wellness check and they found Sherry in her condo dead. John shot her then himself. My heart is broken! I love you Sher Bear always and forever!!!

Belmont Shores

One of our favorite things to do is drive over the bridge through Long Beach to Belmont Shores. We love shopping and eating on 2nd Street and lounging at Mother's Beach. Even better when good friends like Tate join!

Girls Night In

Just the 3 of us!!! Stole this pic from a couple years ago but I love it and depicts the amazing night we had sipping wine, dining on Wood Ranch and staying up till 2am gabbing about everything from kids to relationships to travels to the stupid virus to politics. These girls are amazing true friends, always fun, incredibly open and caring. It's not often we get away for sleepovers but when we do we make the most of every minute. The next morning we sat outside sipping coffee until time was up to head back to reality. Love you Sherry and Jaime!!!

Van's Birthday Beach Day

Van's birthday continues with his besties and cousins. We had the perfect beach day with games and pizza. Thanks to Aunt Cathy and Sherry for making it special! Always fun with Tyler, Aaron, Andrew and Ollie!

Van's 10th Birthday

These pics definitely say it all! We love our boy Van! As he turns 10 he's surrounded by family and good friends. We opened presents then headed to Malaga Cove to play a fun game of wiffle ball, complete with sammys and cupcakes. The light of our life and the boy who brings joy to our hearts, Van Gene Lewis, wishing you a fantastic 10th year!
