Pre-Christmas with Babbys - A First for Patsy

Just a little Pre-Christmas visit to our good friends, the Babbys. It was Patsy's first Christmas.

We've Moved....Back

After a year and a few months, we have moved back to our home in Alameda. Larry secured a new position at Merrill Lynch Trust Company in San Francisco and I found yet another position with Kaiser Permanente in Redwood City.

Our time down in Agoura Hills was enjoyable. We were minutes from the beach, an hour from my family and we had 340 sunny days of the year (layout time for my sun worshipping husband). We also met some wonderful people that we will keep in touch with. In spite of all the positives, we truly missed our faith community, godsons and home in the Bay Area.

Here are a few photos from a September birthday/going away party with the Ricketts family:

The Getty Villa, Malibu

We had to pay a visit to the newly renovated Getty Villa before we moved. The last time I was here was during a 3rd grade field trip. Larry went crazy with the art/sculpture photos. I fell in love with the water lilies. You can bet I will be using these as inspiration for my paintings. Has it been done before??? ;o)

Disneyland with the Babbys

The Babbys planned a Disneyland trip for the boys before the birth of their sister. I was glad to be able to join them for the day. It was fun to play tour guide and introduce my godson, Brandon and favorite big brother, Nathan to Larry and my favorite place. Sheila was a trooper! At around 8 months pregnant, she walked all day for 3 day straight!!!
