Charity’s 14th Birthday & Hana’s 18th

Charity wanted to celebrate her birthday by going on a hike. So we took her to the Sequoia 100 Giants Trail.



Hana wanted to go out to Olive Garden and take a trip to see UCLA. We plan to take the trip in another week.

Amanda in Austin

I had breakfast with the kids each morning. It was so great to spend time with them. 

Although I had made the trip to be there for my friend Amy who was going through some really tough things. One of those being that her roommate, who is her cousin, committed suicide. It was so very sad. But being together brightened her spirits.

Her property is always a beautiful and peaceful!

She had a lot of hummingbirds around.

On our way to a yoga class.

Eden and Andy in town for a visit

We knew Andy was coming to town, but Eden surprised us!

At the mall.

A very sleepy Andy.




We went to Venice Beach where Andy played some basketball.

We worked out at the gym a few times.

Andy only stayed for a week.

But Eden stayed for two weeks. So we got to do more.
Eden being cute.

She helped drive us to Sequoia National Park.

Sam, Jonah and Becca couldn’t come because they had work and school.

Steve is holding a sugar tree pinecone and Hana is holding a giant sequoia cone.

This was a baby sequoia. Looks like a Christmas tree!



Eden and I flew back to Austin together.

My dear friend in Austin is dealing with a loss and I wanted to go out and support her.
