And Dominic turned 3!

Brianna's friend, Dominic, from the Little Gym turned 3 and celebrated it with a super fun sports themed birthday party at the Little Gym. Brianna had a blast and brought a souvenir baggie home chock full of personalized little gifts that she'll play with weeks to come.

Birthday boy ready to blow the candle!

Fun at the park

Daddy caught at praying mantis and the girls loved "holding" it and also playing on the swings

More winter fun in the jacuzzi

Hot chocolate & popcorn are always fun on Saturday night

Jacuzzi play dates with Lea & Mia

Lea & Mia absolutely love playing in the jacuzzi every time they come to our house. Here they are having a good ol' time ...


Christmas Tree Project - Part I

With two little ones in the house, decorating for Christmas turns into a daunting project. Brianna loves to help every step of the way (but she also leaves a trail of broken ornaments!) We're attempting to put up the Chrismtas tree & the lights in one evening

You better watch out ... I'm telling you why ... baby Kiara is coming to town!

Mission accomplished! The tree is up on a pedestal (so baby can't tip it over). Lights will be done another night! The whole family has survived!

Exeter's Yearly Open House and the SF Marionet Show

A couple of weeks ago we spent a terrific Thursday evening in Exeter sampling delicious food at every corner, taking a picture with Santa, enjoying street Caroling & live music, and sharing in the Christmas spirit at the Annual Exeter Open House.

Brianna was very happy to pose with one of her favorite heroes: a firefighter

Free ride through Main St. in an old fire truck. The girls loved it!

A professional San Francisco Marionet Show at the local Library. Excellent Chrismtas show for all the kids! Even Kiara really enjoyed it!

Family visiting from Canada

We enjoyed hosting Uncle Cliff & Auntie Ann the Friday right after Thanksgiving.

This past Friday evening we also enjoyed good vegan pizza & a wonderful Christmas inspired vespers at Ampee & Amee. Ron & Connie Letniak spent a very relaxing week with A&A on the house boat and at the Carmel beach house and then we joined them for supper that night.

Visalia Candy Cane Christmas Parade

On Tuesday night Daddy & Brianna jumped on the Little Gym float and had a great time riding through Visalia's Main Street in the Annual Visalia Candy Cane Christmas Parade. At some point Brianna even started advertising out loud by telling kids: "Please tell your Mommy to take you to the Little Gym." She cracked us all up!
