Catching Up

Poppy and our neighbor Lydia sitting in the barbie jeep.

Poppy loves to run in the water and run out. She will yell, "Watch out Dad wave coming."


Hiding in the rocks at the beach.


Carter and Poppy are in a Parent Participation class once a week. They meet with other parents (ususally moms) and toddlers and play, have snack, sing songs, and talk about topics that parents of toddlers are interested in. They went to the barn at Cal Poly. The baby cows licked Poppy's hand.

Spring Break / Easter

Cold and windy day on the N. California coast. The neat little town of Trinidad is behind Carter and Poppy. The town of Trinidad was another place we stopped on our honeymoon, great camp ground - Patrick's Point.


We planned a bike ride, however it was so cold we spent 5 minutes on the beach and got back in the car.


Camping on the Eel river.

The redwoods was our Spring Break camping destination. We stopped at the Drive through tree. I have a video of the van attempting to drive through the tree. It looks like it would fit through the tree, however we aborted the mission early just in case.



We stopped at this tree on our honeymoon and 6 years ago with our friends Brian and Julie Russell.


Carter and Dave riding motorcyles - Kim let Carter ride her bike.




Easter Egg hunting in Santa Rosa. Poppy did not really understand why she was picking up the eggs. She filled her basket, opened the eggs and gave us the candy. What a girl.
