Getting caught up

The year is more than halfway over, and I have neglected our blog. We'll fast-forward through. Umm, Matthew turned 41 in February. Notice the "geritol" from Phyllis. But really, this is a guy that doesn't seem to age (except for more white hair).


Like last year, Ryan and Lia played basketball in the Winter. In the Spring, Ryan played soccer, and Lia played softball.

We spent Spring Break at the Machule cabin in Truckee with the Fang-Horvaths. Lia, Hallie, and Sierra turned 8 this year.
The weather was good and the skiing was great.

In April we had a retirement party for mom. She is now working harder than ever by taking care of all her kids and grandkids. She comes to the Bay Area for weeks at a time to help cook, clean, chauffeur, and babysit. Then she rests for a week in LA before coming back for more.




In May, Ryan turned 10. Yes, hard to believe--double digits. And in June, Cami turned 2. But the big birthday this year was Suzie's!! The big FOUR-OH. I had a special women-only tea party hosted by Carol and Jan. It was great to be with some of the most important women from different parts of my life (church, kids' school, family). The next night we celebrated with a surprise luau that Matthew organized. He solicited scrapbook pages from various people including a few high school friends!



Another big event in July was the 50th wedding anniversary of George and Jeanette. We went to LA and had a celebratory dinner at the Parkway Grill with family and friends.
