California Dreamin'

We greatly miss our family in California but are so thankful for the time the Lord allowed us to be together. Here are just some random pictures of some amazing times together....

The Fisher Family Reunion...Jennie, Miguel & Diego were greatly missed! Praying for a complete family reunion to come soon!

Still trying for that perfect family photo with everyone looking in the same direction and smiling

Scuba Emma. A very common sight to see walking around the house.
While walking the streets of Solvang the kids spotted a bright yellow Lotus. The owner was approaching his car at the same time and saw the look of awe on Samuel's face and without hesitation offered Samuel & Emma a "ride." I was floored that someone with that kind of car would offer complete strangers 5 and under to check-out the car. Needless to say Luca was quite upset to not be in on the action...but we do have to draw a line somewhere.
More beach time at Refugio Beach.
Luca could not have been happier having the freedom to run and play. And yes, his hair is now blonder with all that California sun!

Great-Nana with some of her great grandchildren.
Emma, Maddie, Isabella, Luca & Samuel
Papa, the picture explains it all!

Samuel & Speedy the Turtle
Cooling off during the 120 degree heatwave that hit California in June. This mini-spa is actually Uncle Ben's fish pond that was meant for Speedy.
Great-Campa came home from rehab in mid-May to live with Nano & Papa. The kids loved helping care for him as well as providing him with lots of entertainment.
Thanks Papa & Nano for all the special lovin' and fun times!

Oops...that would be Mamma's fault for thinking that I already had my sunscreen on at the beach!
