Hi – here’s some of our faves from the latter half of last year. 

Lucy, Max and friend Ben at Chuck E Cheese for Max’s 8th bday.

Max and cousins find his birthday treasure hunt bag of Legos.

Important signage at the minature horse farm in Solvang.

Ventura Harbor boat ride for Ya-ya’s 60th bday.

Mr. Soccer (truly, a great defensive player this year) with his biggest fan.

Gran and Don at cousin Chelsea’s beautiful November wedding.

Bride and Groom – Chelsea and Aaron

Thanksgiving Day – (phew!) – Mom saved my butt by cooking 2/3 of the food for our 20 guests.

Lucy and her great-grandmother Cena, who made this little dress 30 years ago for me – amazing!

Us four in our new upstairs digs.  Thank heavens!

Max and Lucy acted as the waiter and waitress for the pancake breakfast that Matt made last Saturday, when Pop was here.  After Lucy had served Pop his food, he thanked her, and asked her to come sit on his lap and give him a hug.  She said very seriously, “Oh no Pop, that wouldn’t be respectable.  I’m your waiter.”
