kids stuff



This is what Marea wore to ballet the other day as it was "a little chilly"
Why not? What is the point of having your favorite things so special that you never use and enjoy them. This made EVERYBODY smile at Costco.



We went to Balboa park on MLK day. Caught a reggae concert and enjoyed the beautiful day off.


Had to get the car seat shot because this is where the poor thing spends all of our outings. But she loves it. She is just happy to be a part of our tribe. Love her.

Happy New Year



I loved getting everyone's Christmas card. And despite what all the TV show portray, I even love reading all of the Christmas letters. We had a fun vacation. Here is a little of what we did.
The Travers came over for an "early Christmas".
We caroled and delivered fudge to our neighbors.
We visited my 97 year old great aunt Erma.
Enjoyed our first Christmas in our new home.
Drove up to Pleasanton to stay for a few days at Pergrossi parents
Drove up to Tahoe and played in the snow.
Jonah and Naomi went to snowboard and ski school while Deon and I went snowboarding with Melinda and Danny.
Countless hours sledding and snowboarding in the backyard.
After a couple of runs I was actually feeling like a pretty decent rider again (havn't riden in 4 years!)
Celebrated New Years with the kids (on east coast time) Deon and I went to bed at 11:50 p.m.
Celebrated my sister Melinda's 27th birthday. baby
Drove 11 hours home from Tahoe.

Jumping Jonah
Below is Jonah on Christmas Eve. The wooden board is set 8 feet away from the jump.
I had a video of him hitting a jump on his snowboard but it wouldn't load. He's awesome.
