Carolyn is getting a puppy!!

This is Saydee who will be arriving July 2 at the San Jose airport. She is coming from Tulsa, Oklahoma. Isn't she a cute Sheltie? Look for more pictures when she arrives!

Jason and Carolyn's New House

Here is their front yard. Isn't it pretty?
Eventually with Curtis' help this will be replaced with a beautiful pond.
This is their patio with a pool table. Lots of fun here. Not pictured is the side yard which is all brick.
This is their not so nice backyard. It is mostly pine needles.

Russian River

Lucy, Darcy, Briana, Jason, Carolyn, Eddie, Kerry, Catherine, Rob and Curtis went camping at the Cassini Ranch, which is located on the Russian River about five miles from the coast. It was an awesome time.

Curtis was finally able to relax.

Rob caught minows, which was the only fish anyone caught.

Catherine loved the water.

Briana was a bit cold by the river but enjoyed soaking up the rays.

Darcy loved the water. Here she pulls Lucy.

The picture overloaks Goat Rock Beach.

Jason and Carolyn have been married for almost a year. Don't they look "in love."

Kerry was the life of the party. She managed to cut her toe at the beach and the nurse-to-be Briana patched her up.

The seals at the beach looked like they were pros at the "I'm relaxed mode."

Briana waves to the setting sun.

Rob holds up the sun.

Rob dances to the sun.

All good vacations must end but they leave us better prepared for tomorrow and filled with a sense of God's glory.

Dye Wars

Curtis participated in the annual Dye Wars at Underground Junior High. Things got a little crazy. Click on the picture and you will open a page that has a slideshow of the event.

Monterey

Lucy, Curtis and Darcy went with the church group on a long walk from Fisherman's Wharf in Monterey to Lover's Point. Then they returned, had lunch in a cafe on the way back and ended up back at the wharf. God sure made a beautiful creation.

This looks toward Lover's Point.

There were lots of seals.

Briana is home from the Philippines

Briana is now home and recovering from the time and culture change. She took over 700 pictures and videos and has some wonderful stories to share. It will take a while to organize this.

Our Sunday

This is a tale of our Sunday. Lucy went to a training day on how to use Skyler as a therapy dog. Unfortunately she was late due to a blown tire and a tire jack that was stuck and not useable.

Curtis' day was heavenly. He went to Big Basin.

Briana, Rob, Skyler and Shasta went to Sunol.

All of us eventually shared stories in the evening at home.

Darcy's Birthday

Darcy was one year old. See her new toy.
