Christy and Mark

Great visit with Aunt Christy and Uncle Mark as they were here for the week to travel to Petaluma with Ginny and Gene for Ginny's "Halloween and Vine" Show.  They shared stories of their travel through Sonoma and stopping for dinner at Nepenthe in Big Sur.  Would love to see those sights some day!  Loved our time together dining and catching up and look forward to our next visit!

Date Night

It was Jessie's turn for a date night and she picked me to go to Asaka.   I just love this girl!  She's very interesting, sweet and funny.  She loves teriyaki chicken and shrimp tempura, and I just love watching her eat with chopsticks.  Being able to spend this special one on one with each other is a cherished time for us both.  Love you Jessie Joy!

Shark Tank

Ever seen the show where participants pitch their great ideas and inventions to investors?  Well we played a version of this game at Aunt Cathy's.  The kids came up with some great ideas and presented them to Cathy and I (The Sharks).  Definitely a good way for them to use their imagination and work together.  Josette and Gigi ended up spending the weekend at Aunt Cathy's and as always, had a great time! 

Take Your Son To Work Day

Van was in heaven riding around with his Dad running errands and building things.

Ginny's Birthday

We started the evening opening cards and presents at the house, then went to Buona Vita for her birthday dinner.  Had a great time celebrating with sweet Ginny and wish her many more happy and healthy years!  We love you Ginny!

Beach Day

It was windy and choppy but so beautiful!  Grandpa Bill and Cathy joined us at the beach before they head back to North Carolina.  The water was rough and cold but didn't stop the girls from getting in and giving it a go.  They are definitely little mermaids!  We then went back to the house for a family dinner.  We had such a nice visit and love our time together!
