Cute kids
Gabe loves to make kitchen master pieces. This one is Doritos and strawberries.
Caleb got this pirate set for his birthday. Both boys absolutely love it.

More changes
So a lot has happened in the last month. Andy has taken a position at Yahoo in Sunnyvale, Ca. We have moved into a house in Cupertino, Ca. Sort of. Caleb graduated from Wolf in Cub Scouts and has moved on to Bear. Which Andy is now leader. Gabe will be starting Tiger. I am enrolling the boys in a charter home school come fall. They will still be at home with me, but we will check in with an ES who will keep our records for us and administer Ca state tests. We will also be able to use education tax money to pay for supplies and classes. Both boys will be getting $1800 a year and we can use it how ever we please off of the school vendor list. I am very excited. We have all liked the boys being home. They have really grown this year and are excited about planning what we want to learn as we move along.
Soooo the sort of comment above about the house. We ended up moving early because we found a place that suited us. We have been going back and forth between the new house and the apartment for two weeks. The house needs painting and we want to work on the yard and stuff, so we are there mostly. Our moving company said they could have everything from Tallahassee here by Tuesday the 17th. So we wait. They actually called Sunday and said they would be here Monday afternoon and then did not show. They were confused on where in California we were they said. So we wait. Jose, the driver says maybe Saturday. All of us will be very happy to have our things here and to get settled.
What does the summer hold?
1. Andy and I are going to Philadelphia the first week in July for our friends wedding celebration and will stay for Independence day. They boys will stay in their new house and our friends the Gadkari's will stay with them.
2. Painting and decorating.
3. Trying to get a garden started.
4. Pool parties, park days, hikes.
5. Camping at Mount Diablo in August.
6. Saving money for my trip east in the fall.
7. The boys and I are going to Portland and Seattle in August and spending a week at the beach in Oregon with the Gadkari's.
I guess that is about it. We are really having a good time out here. We love you all.
And now what I am sure is the real reason you check this thing. The pictures!
There will not be as many as intended, my other camera is at the apartment. Some of the boys and many of the new house. Enjoy
