President's Day In San Francisco

February 21, 2011 - Jenny, Ethan and I went to San Francisco for the day. Hit up Coffee Bean and Tea Leaf, Old Navy, then went to Fisherman's Wharf and ate lunch at Grotto Number 9, my favorite. We had an outstanding day together.

Christmas 2010

What a wonderful Christmas we had this year!! It was so fun to watch Ethan experience his first holiday season. James came home from Ohio for Christmas, we were so happy he was with us for the holidays! We miss him SO MUCH! We had a big turkey dinner with Dad and Erma, James, Jenny, Devan, baby Ethan, Dev's Mom, Nancy and his brother Ryan. Then we played Guesture's later in the evening Dev's other brothers, Vanessa and her cousin Isabella joined us. It was a great holiday!

It was great to have the family all together at Christmas Time - come home again soon James! Love you all so much!

This was a day in January, Steve, Jenny, Ethan and I did the 5 mile West Cliff walk in Santa Cruz. It was a beautiful, sun shiney day.

Christmas 2009

Christmas 2009 was a lovely time. Jenny, Devan, Steve, James and I were joined by Layton and Erma for dinner. I made a really good turkey, dressing, mashed potatoes, veggies, yellow corn, salad and rolls. It was a really nice "Fern Dragush" dinner. She would have been proud of me!!
