Briggs (3rd ) & Reagan (1st)
Eryn was sad that she didn't get to ride on the bus with Briggsy & Reagy.
She was sad all day, I think she really missed them. But, they had a great first week. They like their teachers and don't have much homework, yet! Reagan loves to sport her "Hilary Duff " back pack, Briggs brings home his Science book everyday to read and Eryn keeps mommy going to the gym because she loves to go to "day care" ! Things are starting off quite nicely!

We had so much fun! But, we really, really miss our Daddy! He's been in Germany for a whole week and we can't wait to see him! He comes home tomorrow! Thanks again to those who came! And to everyone...you're always welcome! We Love You!
This visitor scared Eryn Jane and made her cry for help from Mommy!
Christine, Craig & Colin had graciously traveled up to stay with us at Jens's apartment in Santa Clara the first week we were here. Then, the wonderful people that they are, helped us unpack our boxes on Saturday and Sunday. If it wasn't for them we'd still be living in a house full of boxes. They left for home to attend Cassie's 5th grade graduation. But, not to worry. They came back for a visit bringing Chris and Cassie with them. We had a great time. Chris & Jens spent most of Saturday morning riding their bikes in the hills by our home. Then Christine & Kristin spent the afternoon getting pedicures, eating lunch and having our favorite ice cream, Cold Stone. The kids played and played and played. On Sunday we took a drive to the beach for Father's Day. A little June Gloom, but it didn't get us down. The sun burned off the clouds

Father's Day at the beach. Daddy and his girls!
Eryn Jane's first time at the beach! "are you kidding me? I can play in the dirt all day? Thank You Mommy!"
Memorial Day we had our San Antonio friends over for a sprinkler/water balloon/pizza party. They had a great time.
Saying goodbye is always the hardest thing to do...here with our good friends...Jennifer & Minji Kim.

So, do you like it? We love it and we're happy to be here. We miss our family and friends, but we feel good about this move and can't wait for visitors to come and check out the Bay Area with us. All are Welcome...just give us a call a tell us the dates you'll be here. We're ready and waiting for you! Hugs & Kisses to all. Wish us Luck on our new Adventure.
Reagan Lee was so excited that she is finally able to fit into this special dress. Given to her by her "big sister" Cassie. Reagan wants to say to Cassie that she misses you, loves you and can't wait to see you!
Maui was awesome!!!!!
The rest of the trip was spent at the Spa Moana getting Lumi Lumi massages & facials, snorkling at Black Rock (Kristin saw a huge sea turtle near the top of the water and thought it was a shark, freaked out and swallowed a bunch of sea water ), driving the Road to Hana (amazing ), Parasailing, eating great food (Kristin even tried Jens's fish ), and laying out on the beach. It definitely was the best vacation we have EVER taken. We "highly recommend". On the back of our map we found a quote.
We could have easily never come home but, we had to get back to our babies. They had a wonderful time with their Aunt Kaci and we are so grateful to her for taking such good care of them and for loving them so well.
Reagan did a wonderful job at her dance recital, Briggsy's team won their soccer game and Eryn got used to a new schedule.....playing at the park, playing Pollies, jumping on the trampoline... it was "all Eryn, all the time!" Now, back to the routine for a little more than a week. We close on the 2nd and fly out either that night or the next morning. Off to our new home and new life in San Jose.
We spent Thursday traveling north to have lunch with our good friend Dan Oditt then over the Bay Bridge to check out San Francisco. It was a beautiful day. The only day that wasn't cloudy and didn't rain. Friday we drove south to Santa Cruz. Checked out the beach, picked up seashells for the kids and then headed over to Gilroy and the outlets there. Good thing Jens was in the shopping mood.
After a "bit" of shopping we went to see The Benchwarmers. It was pretty funny!
Then, more company...as Oma headed out our good friend Loralee headed in. She was able to stay with us for three nights of Great conversation and one day spent shopping in Fredericksburg. It was a lot of fun. So......
Last night was the first night of actual "loneliness". It did take a little time for me to fall asleep, but we all had a good sleep, despite the loud rain, thunder and lightning storm in the middle of the night. (it's about time!)
Just wanted to thank all Family and Friends for your love, support and patience with us (me! ) It's been a crazy time......does it ever stop? Still, I feel truly blessed. I know Heavenly Father is leading and guiding our family to where we need to be. And, I couldn't do any of this without the help of visits, phone calls, e-mails, etc. from all of you.
Love, Hugs and Kisses to all......
~Kristi & Family
