Gramps and his Heart

We got a big shock the other day when my dad ended up at the ER and found out he needed to have heart surgery.  Two days later he had triple bypass surgery and now he is on the road to recovery. We are grateful that Gramps is okay and that we got to spend time with Andy and Joey.

Spring Break in Cali

We just returned from an action-packed week in California visiting the beach and many theme parks.  We covered SeaWorld, Lego Land, and Disneyland/California Adventure.  Our feet our tired! We also enjoyed the beach in San Diego and Zuma beach, and spent a few days at Andy, Val and Sadie's house.  When the kids were asked what their favorite part was, they all responded "All of it!".

 San Diego:

SeaWorld with cousin Sadie!
