Thursday - New Year's Day

The family events are drawing to a close. Kristen and the kids left this afternoon for El Paso and Bryan and Stephanie and kids will be leaving Saturday for Switzerland. Today was an action-packed day: Bryan took all the grandkids except Lilly to the Rose parade and then we watched the Rose Bowl game in the PM. By days end it was obvious that soon Eva and I would be back to our quiet environment and looking forward to the next time when we can all be together.

In looking back on the past week and a half, I think that planning events helped all family members get the most out of our time together. We shopped, saw movies together, went to Bolsa Chica State beach for a walk, to Huntington Beach for bike rides along the coast and some running, had dinner with Royal, Roger and Marjean, Danah and Eric and fam, Jim and Teri, Ryan and Lindsey, and MaryJo and we sang with the karioke machine.

2009 is off to a good start.
