Catching Up

 This is a big catch up post since it's been quite a while since the last post.

Since then, here's what's been going on.

We went to Florida for Spring Training and after we got back Noah had his 16th birthday.

Marilyn / Grandmom wasn't doing well and moved in with us, went on Hospice, and passed away April 4.  We had a celebration of life event for her at the end of April that was very nice and had a great turnout.

On Evan's 18th birthday, he threw a perfect game.

Evan graduated from high school.

Noah broke his pinky finger playing football and needed surgery.

We took a family trip to southern California (Evan's choice) to see some baseball games.

We went to Bradenton, Florida (the same place we go for Spring Training) for one of Evan's baseball tournaments.

Evan's last tournament for TRPD was in Ft. Worth and the 18U boys graduating had a great time celebrating with the coaches.

Noah started school on August 20 and that same day we started the drive to move Evan into college.

We moved him in on August 23 and then flew back on August 25.

And, here we are.

Here are some pictures over the last few months.

4146 Miles!

We got home from our road trip last night.  We left on June 11.  We spent a few days in Tucson, Monterey, San Francisco, Escondido, Solana Beach / Carlsbad (San Diego area).

In Tucson we spent time with Morry's side of the family. Fran, Scott, Ronald, and Kelly came in town to visit Jack and Rachel's family.  One of the afternoons we went to the University of Arizona campus.

From Tucson, we went to Monterey for a few days.  We went to the Monterey Bay Aquarium.

In San Francisco, we met up with Dmitriy and my cousin Jake. We went to Alcatraz, Fisherman's Warf, Downtown, and Muir Woods.

Then, we stayed in a ranch outside of Escondido, CA.  While we were there, we spent one of the days at Legoland.

After that, we drove to Solana Beach for Niki's Bat Mitzvah weekend.

On the way back home, we spent one night in Tucson and went out to dinner with Jack/Zayde.

Today, I ran errands and did a lot of unpacking and laundry.  Evan went to Wade's house for a little bit.

For dinner we had grilled chicken and salad.

Here are pictures from our road trip.  More can be found on Facebook.
