Sedona AZ

Taft man is quite the hiker/climber.  Not much fear and lots of energy.  Plus he can always spot the dinosaur tracks!

The rock formation in the background was the destination Tom and I had one morning.  We made it very close to the top, but got to a point where we looked behind us and realized that one false step and that would be the end of us.  Wisely we turned back and are still here on earth in one piece.

Tom now has a new place to look for real estate.  Not that he wasn't busy enough with Monterey Peninsula, and Coronado.  But now, Sedona AZ is on the list.  It really is a fabulous place for hiking and biking.  Problem is the heat.  However you have pools!  

Birthday and Wedding

I know we all have a zillion pictures that we wished we would have taken.  Luckily we all had our cameras out at different times, so between all of us we kind of remember all the special moments and adventures that we experienced.  This last photo of Scarlet and Zane kind of say it all.  It was the most memorable, amazing, fun filled, momentous slice of life.  Just put 28 people together that really like each other and that's what happens.  Add a wedding, add a birthday party....I'm still a bit speechless.

Ha, not the only one behind

My mom's house for a picnic.  Practiced the flash-mob dance.  Enjoyed being together.  Didn't get great pictures of the crew but this is a decent sampling.  When I was 18 years old, did I EVER think that my family would congregate in this very backyard?  Never.  What a miracle.  It was so. much. fun.

PS.  The blog postings are getting way backed up.  I think Mel is the only one up to date....
