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!

Surprise Getaway

 Two weekends ago Kevin surprised all of us with a short little getaway for the night.  Friday afternoon he came home, sent me to get Mason from a birthday party and packed the boys bags for the night!  When I got home the car was packed and all I had to do was pack my own bag before we left.  He had booked a room in San Jose and found a few fun things to do while we were there. We got to SanJose a little after dinner time and walked around Santana Row - a nice outdoor shopping center.  We got some icecream and walked in a few stores.  Then the next day we got breakfast and headed to the San Jose Children's Museum.  It was such a fun place for the boys.  We had a hard time peeling Talen away from the fire engine. They also had a cool water area which the boys loved and an exibit on fossils that Mason enjoyed.  We headed home around noon since I had to work later that day, but it was such a fun little trip.  Kev did a great job surprising us all!

Waiting, somewhat patiently, for the doors to open:)
