Our present life

We are currently living in Manteca, California away from the cold winters of Chicago. We moved to California almost 4 years ago and started this blog in an attempt to keep in touch with our family and friends in Chicago or elsewhere. We miss everyone from the midwest but we love those who have become part of our life in California. Kevin is a teacher at Ripon Christian High. He also coaches girls volleyball and soccer and stays busy playing the sports he loves as well. Janey is a nurse 2 days a week and a mom the rest. She works at DMC on the pediatrics floor. Mason (5) and Talen (2) are growing daily and loving life! Enjoy our blog and follow us if you like!

Spring break trip

We decided to head down to Chino to visit Matt and Cheryl this year on Kevin's spring break. It had been awhile since we saw the Piper's and had yet to meet the twins. This spring break was a little different than some of our past breaks when we were all at Trinity together. It's amazing how much all of our lives have changed since our days at Trinity together! We had a great afternoon at the beach and a fun hike to a waterfall the next day. Thanks so much for hosting us Matt and Cheryl. We had a great time catching up with you guys and your babies are both so adorable!

Last, but certainly not least...Visitor #3 Mimee!

Sorry this post is a little delayed, however i didn't forget to post about Mimmee's visit. On the night before Kerry's departure, Kevin's mom flew in to visit for 5 days. This was a complete surprise for Mason. She landed late tuesday night and snuck in the house after the boys were already in bed. The next morning Mason woke up to find Mimmee waiting for him on the couch! I wish I had recorderd his reaction. He was so excited/surprised to see her. He kept asking "how did you get here!?!" We had a great time as always with Mimmee. Thursday morning we had a fun easter egg hunt across the street with a bunch of our friends. On Saturday the boys went to Point Reyes and did some hiking with Mimmee. And the rest of the time we just did our normal routine at home. It's always so great to have family visit. We soak up every minute of the time when they are here. Thanks for visiting Mimmee!!
