The Extended Weaver Family in San Diego

Here we all are in San Diego in July. From the left, Matt and wife Janelle, John and wife Amy, Michelle and husband John with grandgirls Lori (5) and Sara (7), Judy and Strode. We did it all, swam every day in the pool at our vacation house, Sea World, Old Town, a Padres game, Wild Animal Park, the beach, and a water park. All of Mom's bear cubs within arm's reach for hugs any time she wanted. Doesn't get much better than that. Laughed a lot and played a couple of Tripoli games finishing with our traditional five card showdown hand for all the chips on the table (to declare the winner of the universe).

Our new home in the Arbors development is coming along at a steady pace. The windows and doors are in, the roofing went on yesterday and today, and electrical wires are dangling everywhere. We are almost done with all of our selections and approved a very nice patio landscaping plan just today. Judy and Strode have been biking over most evenings to view the progress.

It is raining cats and dogs outside today. Judy has already been to school and worked with her nine new student teachers. It is going to be an exciting year for her.

I failed to mention yesterday that Strode and Judy had a great weekend this past weekend. Friday, Saturday and Sunday included a dinner out at one of our favorite brew pubs--Lodo Bar and Grill, a concert at the Arvada Center --blue grass and Celtic music, and a run through the Golden Art festival, which is one of our favorites. Strode also likes the fact that he can stop for a beer or two at the "2nd largest brewery" in Golden! A great little place to stop and rest awhile.

Busy Days

The Units are currently up to their eyeballs in packing boxes! We are getting ready to make our big move in the near future. We, of course, sold our house and now we are building a new one not too far away. We will be in "temporary" housing for about four months while we wait for the construction of our new house to be complete. Fortunately, we found an amazing little condo near downtown Denver! We call it the "Gem on Pearl Street". In the meantime, we will keep packing, go to work and enjoy our beautiful Colorado.
