it's been sooooo long...

so remember how we were supposed to be in guatemala... turns out we didn't go. Here's a catch-up with lots of pictures. Sorry... I kinda went on blog strike because we don't have our computer right now and the others that we have are just a lot slower. I'll be better from here on.

Chip graduated in may with his MSW from the U. I'm SO proud of him! it was so great to see him walk at his graduation. Rene made us some awesome shirts to show our support for chip. Thanks rene! I still wear mine :)

I bet anthony does too.

The only bad part about chip graduating was leaving this little guy...

and these little guys...

and this little lady...

and these little guys... (except the one in the middle)

and these little girls...
and these little guys!

but now we get to be in this place! one of my favorites!

yep. we moved in with my parents in CA

I got to see these girls for a weekend! It was so great!

and I've been lovin' this pier!

And since we didn't go to Guatemala, why not Hawaii for 3 weeks! It was splendid.

Good job jimmy!

and now we're here with this little one...

and i'm loving it!

this one's for you jordy:

Wow, that's a lot of pictures. This is just the first half of the update...

Since we've been back from hawaii, Chip's been looking hard for a job. No luck yet. He has a part time job doing grocery inventory stuff for now while he looks.

Our car now has california license plates and chip got a california license! lisence? I can't remember now. I think it's a little late. anyhow, it's official! See... this is why i never sit down to blog. it's taken me 2 hours to upload all these pictures and write all this.

Still to come:

mary's wedding

christy comes to visit

rene and anthony come to visit

and we're off to the redwoods!
