Decking the Halls

A snippet of how the holidays began at the P.d.l.C's

on their way!

These two chickens could hardly wait!

It's all they could talk about!

YAYA & POPS

 on their way, on an airplane, to our house! 

and let me tell you,

 no one was disappointed!

Thanksgiving, parts two and more

The rest of the trip in SF, after giving Grandma 

Marcy the surprise of her life at Thanksgiving dinner, consisted of hangin' with the Wiersch Family.

The newest member, Mister Miles

Andi and her sis Amber

Eme and Max, just like the cartoon (and J Lo's kids!),

but these two are far cuter!

This was Eme's reaction when I asked her if she wanted a baby brother!  

Too bad Andi's was not as favorable!

At the children's museum

"ring awound da roshes, ashesh ashesh all faw down"

The Ferry Building,

one of our most favorite spots.

This guy was the hit of the day!

At the zoo with a couple of monkeys,

 to see a couple gorillas.

Then back home to freshen up, relax, and hang with the family again!

Three peas in a pod!

 Dinner is served.

The trip was a blast!  We loved spending time with all our family and friends, but eventually we had to come home.

One little souvenir we did bring back was a nasty virus and a sick little baby!

  

We left our hearts in San Francisco

Back some time ago, I proposed to Andi that we maybe should head out to sunny Cali for the last time before our big move.  After some debate and number crunching we were off...

The girls were a big help packing.

We are lucky to have a lot of family there, and this trip we got to spend lots of time with some of our favs.

James, such a ham!

Please note that this was on a morning he was going biking, and that our visit was in late Movember.

Here is Tiffany. 

We sure did have a blast with her.

 Cooking, baking, and well, getting her well prepared for motherhood!

This is how we spent most of our evenings.

This is how we spent most of mornings-

just two techies on their Macs.

We did get out to see the sights.  Rode this little trolley around and ended up where else but...

Ghirardelli Chocolate Factory for yet another birthday sundae!

We really really loved staying with James and Tiffany.  

So much so that look what happened while we were there...
