I started this blog in early 2009 as a way to easily keep our families and friends updated on our lives since settling in the Bay Area. Between the ups and downs of renovating our home in San Rafael, raising our daughter, Ellie Elizabeth, and having fun with family and friends, we hope you enjoy following what we are up to as much as I enjoy documenting it.

More Before Pictures
Thursday, June 18, 2009
I love this picture.

Eric sent it to me today. It's the view of the bottoms from Grandma and Grandpa's yard. It looks the same but different from when I was a kid. The pond used to be filled in and there were cattails everywhere, the trees have grown a ton and Grandpa kept the grass shorter. I remember Grandpa made Christy and me a swing off of that tree that we used to have so much fun on when we came over. I knew I was getting older when I got too big for that swing...it was a sad day, I remember!
The only thing this picture is missing is Grandpa down at the bottom across the pond. He was always down there poking around.

Belleville Visit
St. Louis Visit
Covered a lot this weekend in St. Louis. Outback Steakhouse on Friday night, Queeny Park and shopping on Saturday, lunch with Eric, and Hacienda on Saturday night. Sunday included church, going to Grandmas and then dinner with Jaclyn and Katie Sunday night. It was a great visit and good to be back. I took some shots while I was there, including pictures of Mom and Dad's new Toyota Camry.
Dad's House Project
Enough already about our house project, Dad and Mom have one of their own. They re-did the landscaping in the backyard and around the side of the house. Hard to believe that all the ivy that Dad always got poison ivy from all these years is finally gone. And I can't get over how big some of the trees that we planted when I was little have gotten so big! It was a beautiful day on Saturday when I was in town and Dad was out there cementing the step from the door into the garage, I took some shots.
