Carly's Bridal Shower

A little less than a month to go before Carly becomes a Mrs! Janine held her shower this previous Saturday evening. I want to get some better party pics for the blog since our camera ran out of batter power but I have this pic of the South African contingent! As you can see, aunty Jen arrived last week as a surprise for Carly! also, aunty Nat and girls came down from Sacramento for the weekend as well a Sandy Birkenstock. Sam is going to be doing dental hygiene at Loma Linda come fall and we are looking forward to being her "home away from home" and seeing aunty Nat and uncle Merv more often because they will be visiting her:) Heather has grown up so much in just a year and half! - she's shot up (literally) - she's going to be a tall girl - almost as tall as me already (and at 5.9 I'm pretty tall for a girl!)

Clark's Latest Home Improvement Project

A few weeks ago we received a notice from our HOA to say that our backyards are supposed to landscaped within 3 months of moving in and we've been here since the end of November! so...Clark's been busy with his very own landscaping project.

Just some pics of the progress he's making...these are actually a bit old - he's now starting laying stones on the path - looking good! We'll keep you updated with progress and show the finished project as soon as it's done:)

Sara's Birthday Brunch
