While driving around the area, we stopped by Rio Del Mar to hang out at the beach for a little while. It’s a great walking beach and there’s plenty to find on today’s walk. The last image has an orange house in the background. I was just there for an offsite as part of my recent contract work for Dana Software.
These two love hanging out together. It’s kind of an uneasy peace. Tasha stays close to cover, while Abby always looks for an opening.
First a few quick shots of Gabe and Monica with the birds. George and his family came down for the day. Val came by and brought the bunnies for everyone to enjoy. Outside there’s plenty of things to keep everyone busy. Chris and his friends wolf down as much food as possible. The younger ones have some kind of WWF event going on the trampoline. The dads kick back and talk business and technology. Maybe I want to join the kids on the trampoline. ...
Charlotte and Teren enjoy a beautiful walk along the coast. This particular stretch of the coast is very popular with runners, bicyclists, surfers, and everyone else you could possibly imagine. Looks pretty quiet today.
Just a few random shots on a typical day. Doug is over for some fun with Gabe, Nick hams it up for the camera, and Monica has fun with her bird Cheerio.
Another fine morning at our house. Monica and Abby settle in for the night, while Gabe enjoys making faces in his mirror.
Definitely have to swing by Val’s house to check out Chris’ new car. There are a few new paintings to check out as well.
Another fun stop over at aunt Val’s house. Their guinea pig wisely stays well hidden He’s aptly named “G pig”. The really fun pets are the latest collection of bunnies. Monica has a particular fondness for the brown and white one. She enjoys rolling him up in a ball and carrying him around like a baby.
Charlotte is off to Valri’s to perform emergency restoration efforts on some critical blankies. It may look hopeless, but Charlotte is a miracle worker with the sewing machine. Val’s got some new artwork that’s worth checking out. One of the many bunnies bids Charlotte goodbye.
Charlotte’s mom sent us a whole palette of stuff recently. Not sure how long the Abe Lincoln look-alike painting will last in the family room, but the rocker and the dresser look great. Charlotte did a whole pile of work restoring the dresser. I was pretty skeptical when it first arrived, but Charlotte really pulled it off as usual. Lots of odds and ends have been added to the menagerie scattered about the house. ...
