Special Times with Family...

Of course, besides hanging out in the pool and going shopping, the girls also spent a lot of time with my family. Here they are going out to celebrate Veronica’s 15th and Ann’s birthday (Ann is wearing the scarf that we bought her in Morocco).

Eden joined them for lunch at a Japanese restaurant in Cupertino and later had a sleepover.

Leigh and Mike took the girls to a wine and art festival in Mountain View. The girls were thrilled to buy me a bracelet and earrings to match a necklace I already had made out of a bicycle chain.

I can’t even begin to express how happy I am that Dad and Ann want to spend time with the girls. I can only hope that Jimmy and I are lucky enough to have such a special relationship with our own grandchildren someday.
