California dreaming

What a week!!!! Our most exciting news is we now know that after we move to Korea we get to move to CALIFORNIA!!! It's Beale AFB near Sacramento. 70 miles from Lake Tahoe, 100 miles from Napa Valley, 120 miles from San Francisco, 6 hours from LA...I am telling you our list is a mile long of things we want to do in the great state of California.

Monday was Ben's birthday. He enjoyed a nice small party just here at home with our family. The kids are hoping to have a big party with family and friends later...Madi's birthday is in the beginning of June so it can be a party for both kids.


Tuesday was the 2nd grade field trip downtown to visit the state capitol. Steve had the day off so we also took Ben with us. After the field trip was over we separated from the 2nd grade and went to the CNN Center for lunch...




...and the CNN tour. The kids thought is was so neat. TJ Holmes was the anchor on live while we were there. It was fun to watch the chaos of how things work. The United States had just captured that terrorist responsible for that car bomb in NY. CNN was also airing a live broadcast from the White House on subject of finding that terrorist and his group in Pakistan. If you are ever in Atlanta I would recommend taking that CNN tour. Oh and last Sunday was the last broadcast on the old desk that has been there from the beginning. Monday was the first broadcast from the new desk. Have you noticed it?


Yesterday both my kids had field day. It was LONG and HOT! Their favorite game was this one...you dip your nose in vaseline, dip your nose into a bowl of cotton balls, run down the way, shake shake shake that ball into a bowl and go back for more. Who ever has the most wins.

That is great that you know Steve's follow on...let the fun planning for CA family adventures begin! What a relief!
The class trip looks like it was fun and wowzers~ Ben is 10! Can you believe it? Bryce is hot on his heels! It really feels like just last year our boys were in preschool while we had the fun of teaching them with Miss Madi be-bopping around with the dolls in that back playroom. I miss those days...

I'm so glad you get to go to CA- wouldn't it be fun to meet up for a glass of wine in Napa?
