Jack Turns 29! - May 8, '07

We celebrated another great year of Jack!

Our small group joined us @Pleasanton Main St Brewery .
Here he is with the ladies

The boys. I love Scott's sweet handlebar mustache he was sporting.

Jack poses above a mural specially drawn by Kyle and Faye in his honor. Unfortunately, you can't see that he is mimicking the pose that he stands in in the mural.

I love you, baby! Happy Birthday!

Wedding Shower With GV Teachers - March '07

My wonderful First Grade Team threw a shower for Jack and I in March. It was so fun to relax and chat with my amazing co-workers and Kristen was able to join us and reunite with many friends as well. The food was absolutely delicious! The laughter and company, even better.

They gave us "My" tool box complete with a few essentials and a Home Depot gift card. We also received some other wonderful things for our new home.

Here's my team: Mary, Lisa, Leanne and Gail. Brenda was not able to be there for the whole party. Thank you ladies, you really outdid yourselves!

Norma organized the games and a special vase of advice hearts. She's such a dear friend.

Lisa and I with the chocolate!

Emily Is Here - March '07

My friend Emily was in the states for a short visit. She is a dear friend who I met while working with Nightlight in Bangkok. Jack and I drove to L.A. to see her. We went to In-N-Out because she's never been. It was great to catch up face to face. She's amazing.
