We are eating lots of salmon in our house. It tastes so much better coming off of Chad's fly rod than Albertson's.
I don't think Chad ever stopped smiling in Alaska.

Starting to feel settled in California
Wow! We saw that we lasted posted in June. We don't think we have sat down once since we moved June 1st.
We bought Disney Annual Passes on June 2nd to help the kids with their transition to the West Coast. As a family we have been to Disney atleast 14 times since June 2nd. Nana and Papa (Alene and Tom) enjoyed a day of "Everything Disney" with us in July. We were still "rookies" when we were with them. Grandpa Allen came to visit us in August and we were much better tour guides when he was here. Grandma Marie is coming to visit in October - we told her she needed to get her walking shoes ready!
We have enjoyed being only 25 minutes from the Pacific Ocean as well. While Daddy was working during the day the Kids and Mom would leave the house at 10am and come home around 6pm after boogie boarding, building sandcastles, jumping waves, finding sand crabs and laughing.
It is always 80 and sunny in California. We have truly enjoyed being outside and enjoying bike rides and hiking! It was always so hot in Georgia during the summer months with that darn humidity. It has rained maybe twice since we moved here also. We think we have found a little slice of weather Heaven.
We are missing our friends and house in Georgia but have started to make new friends here. The boys started school Sept. 5 and are also playing soccer - so we are meeting some really nice families. Drew is in 3rd grade this year. He had a rough couple of first days at the new school they are attending. It is nothing like the school he knew in Georgia. I volunteered a lot at their old school and was surprised at how different they are. We are both learning together and have decided we can't compare the two schools - they are both great for different reasons. Bryan is in 1st grade this year and is charging full steam ahead. He loves that he has two recesses!! Tyler is in Kindergarten - which is only a 1/2 day in California. He is pretty sure Kindergarten is the best thing to ever happen to him.
The house we are renting has plenty of room for visitors - so come on down to sunny Orange County. If you do come visit - make sure you fly into the John Wayne Airport not LAX! We would love to see you!
