Football runs in the family

Even though Luke is in his 30's and has lost a step he still makes people miss and scores plenty of touchdowns. ��So what if it's a co-ed church league. ��

John looks happy to follow in his father's footsteps.

Christmas in California

This year's Christmas destination: ��Newport Beach! ��Not a bad place to spend the holidays...

Despite the FIVE HOUR plane ride, there was some consensual cuddling.

Hangin' out with Uncle Jeff and Ebony was a nice treat.

And the kids were ridin' high with Uncle Jason and Aunt Heather.

One of Leah's highlights was the bungee bounce at Balboa Island! ��She was just over the minimum requirement of 3 years old and 30 pounds. ��We love her adventurous spirit!

We had many other wonderful adventures and were thankful to hang out with each of our immediate family members (including Puggy Sue). ��A real highlight was to spend time with Clarissa (Luke's cousin), her husband Drew, and their sweet boys, Cole and Austin.

(Ironically, though this blog is mostly for the Grandma's, neither one of them made it into our paltry selection of pictures. ��Working on my chronicling skills...)
