IT'S BEEN A LONG TIME - HERE'S AN UPDATE

At the end of the summer, Charlie and I drove up to see Ian, Sarah, and the kids.  Harriet's birthday is September 5 and Sean's is August 20.  Sarah's is in between. We went to a local park with a lake for a picnic.  In the evening we went to a "take-off-your-shoes" Japanese dinner.

Here's a few photos at the park

   Ian, Sarah, Sean and Harriet visited at the end of Christmas vacation.  Right after they got home, Ian began his job at Google.  I found really long silly straws for stocking stuffers.

We checked out the South Pasadena Rose Parade Float.

Apparently, Google has a sculpture garden.

Unfortunately, Sarah took the photos - so she's in the garden unseen.

We also traveled to Vancouver to see Glenn, Krysty, and Kayley.  At that time Nathan was not available for visits.

We went to see Kayley at her gymnastics class first.  Clearly a hit for her.

We then went to the Vancouver science museum.  Really a great place

We went to Vancouver again in February to meet Nathan.  He was only two weeks old, but good to get to meet him.

We all took a trip to the music store in Vancouver.  I should get the name of the place from Glenn.  It is really one of the niftiest music stores I have ever seen.  You name an instrument - they've got it - or can get it for you.

We had to stop at a Tim Horton's for a quick coffee and donut pick up before we got into the store.  Here is Krysty and Nathan decked out for the cold.

Nathan's bear suit was adorable.
