Trip to San Jose

Last Friday we headed over to San Jose to visit our friends John and Brenda. We left town around 3:30 and made it to San Jose by 5:30, hitting some traffic on the way. We were excited to see John and Brenda's new apartment. It's a great place and Ethan loved the stairs and their little patch of grass outside. It is always so good to see good friends. Friends who you can pick up with like you never left. There are always plenty of laughs to be had and some good chats about life as well. We also hung out with our friend Mindy and her husband Harry. It was good to see them again as well.

On Saturday morning Kevin and John went Frisbee golfing and Brenda and I had some good girl chats while Ethan slept. We then headed over the the walk-a-thon at SJCS. It was so great to see former collegues and the families of students we used to teach. We really got to know some people well the few years we were there so it was fun to catch up and introduce them to Ethan. Ethan did great and smiled at everyone.

Ethan is usually scared of loud, crazy guys....but for some reason he loves John. I think it's because John loves hanging out with him. John, you'll make a great dad some day!


John and Brenda have a deer head hanging over their stairs. Ethan was loving going up the stairs until he noticed the giant deer looking down at him. He wasn't too sure after that. He loves hanging out with Brenda though!



Thanks for a great visit John and Brenda. We're so thankful for your friendship and we miss hanging out on a regular basis.

Ethan is notorious for being a terrible sleeper in the car. So he of course didn't sleep on the way home from SJ even though it was his nap time. He was awesome in the car though, so I won't complain. We put him down as soon as we got home and he fought sleeping. It was eventually quiet, I opened the door to check on him and this is what I saw...(sorry it is a little dark)
