What year is it?!?!?

Wow, 2013. Mid-2013 to be more precise.

I have to admit that the use of Facebook probably suppressed my need to blog. In fact, it was while I was posting to Facebook just now that I thought of a good name for my blog, which already has a name. But the phrase "It takes a village..." really summarizes my life in a nutshell.

In actuality, I have many villages that overlap like those circles, oh what are they...ah, Venn diagrams (love my Google search engine). I have the Hillcrest school village, which overlaps with the several sport team villages, which overlap with my church village, which doesn't quite overlap with the work village, etc...

And what makes up a village?  VILLAGE PEOPLE, of course!!!

Hope they don't mind I am using their image...

Christmas break 2008

We spent nearly 2 weeks in southern California with family. Here are the Inadomi girl cousins: Cami(2), Katherine(11), Melanie(16), Emma(5), and Lia (8).

Here are the Inadomi boy cousins: Ryan (10) and Noah (6).








We spent a day at Disneyland thanks to Grandma and Grandpa! We stayed at the Grand Californian Hotel that's in Downtown Disney so we could walk to Disneyland. The park was all decked out in Christmas themes.
Cami enjoyed shopping at World of Disney. She wanted to take home all of the Mickey and Minnie dolls.

Remodel Update

Here is a photo of the addition as of 10/28/08, which is a little over one month from the start date.

Hillcrest Eagles

Here is Lia's soccer team. All of the girls go to her school. They had a winning season, and got first place in their division. Lia scored a few goals!

Rockridge Sting

Ryan played competitive soccer this year. They won some, they lost some, they tied some. It was a great season.

School Portraits

Here are Ryan and Lia in this year's school pictures. Ryan is in 5th grade and Lia is 3rd grade. They go to Hillcrest Elementary.

Demolition has begun

Last week we officially started our remodeling project (after working with an architect for 2 years). The demolition was quick. Lia is standing is a spot that used to be covered under 8 feet of rock. This space will eventually become a new master bedroom and bathroom. Our front door, which is to the left and invisible from the street, will now be straight ahead as you walk toward the house.
