friends

 Friends--something we do not take for granted.  We are so thankful for the many nice people we've met in California, and for having some of our old friends still around.  Here are just some...

Reconnecting with old friends has been a huge blessing!!

(Heather Adams, Eleanor Lyon, and Amanda Eskelson who I used to teach in Primary!)

Presidents Day

 We met the Lyon's in Moraga to spend the afternoon.  Another gorgeous day.  A special treat was to drive by 1826 Joseph Drive on the way home.

A visit from Wyatt

Wyatt came to visit for the 3 day weekend!  We spent Sunday afternoon at Crissy Fields and Temple Hill.  It was such a beautiful day!!  Look at those views...

 Such a beautiful landmark.

 Mike Johnson came to watch Jake in his last game of the season (when his broken finger was FINALLY healed!!)

 The Dan and Thuan Stevens family stopped by on their way home from SoCal.  How fun!!
