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.

Headshots of Charity

Charity had these done at ballet.

My new ballet students for this school year.

Some drawings that Eden did.


Ron likes this spot on Steve’s side of the bed.

He also loves being inside of bags.

A photo of my bestie Jaimi, and her hubby and daughter.

A very old family photo of my Waite Grandparents and their posterity at the time.

Anna’s car accident

Anna was hit by an impaired driver and it totaled her car. Thankfully she was ok though.
