Week 46

 "Absence makes the heart grow fonder,
but it sure makes the rest of you lonely,"

~ Charles M. Schulz

The Diaz Family departed at the "butt-crack" of dawn Wednesday. It's so quiet and I already miss them and all their spirit. Unfortunately, I didn't get a lot of photos this week as I was busy enjoying the moments before they had to leave.

Having a snack while waiting for bother to get out of school.

Our last meal together before they fly back home. 

These kids had so much fun together. 

Our new photographer. Yay!!

Thursday sunrise.

Feasting American Finches.

I couldn't decide which photo I liked best.

The movie quote that keeps coming to mind here is...

"Negative, Ghost Rider, the pattern is full."

Week 45

"We need joy as we need air.

We need love as we need water.

We need each other as we need 

the earth we share."

~ Maya Angelou

Such a busy and fun week with the Diaz Family home. It's been a long four years since they were here last. The cousins had a blast together, we celebrated Melissa's birthday with dinner at El Tap + a pumpkin cheesecake, and we were invited to a 49er game where we got to watch our son-in-law parachute into the stadium with the Army Black Knights. 

Yes, I did!

All together!

Little pilots. We took a trip to the Oakland Aviation Museum. 

Mini-Air Traffic control tower.

Cousin buddies.

Joy = All four of my grandchildren together. 

Oldest and youngest.

Blurry and beautiful!

Another blurry one, but so adorable.

We got to go to a 49er game at Levi Stadium.

Devin nailed it!

Perfect 50-yard line landing.
