We did alot in July, starting with July 1st, when we celebrate Nicole's Baptism Day. Than, Brandon started a sparring class at Karate. He loves it! He's quite the fighter.....Even scares his own Daddy.
We celebrate July 4th in Morgan Hill with the parade in the morning with friends, then a night on the green in the evening to watch the firework show. This is one of our favorite events of the year.
Nicole took a horse camp at Calero Stables in Morgan Hill. This has been something she's been wanting to do for a long time, and she really enjoyed it. Master was the horse she got to ride and take care of all week. Of course, now she's asking for her own horse.
Elaine bought herself a present. Something she's always wanted in the livingroom....a baby grand piano. It's about 88 years old, made by Hazelton Brothers who made pianos from 1898 to 1957. It's in pretty good shape for being so old, and even the piano tuner said usually pianos this old just get trashed, but this one still sounds pretty good. I play it just about everyday. Being self-taught is a challenge, but it still brings peace to my soul.
I took the kids to the San Francisco zoo to meet two friends and their kids that I used to work with at Sun Microsystems back in the day. We try to meet up once a year, as one lives in Santa Cruz, and the other in San Francisco. And this year, Gayle was moving from Santa Cruz to the South of France. Brave ones, they are, and they are loving it there!!
Our friends from Brandon's soccer team, The Greenleaf's, got a job transfer to Switzerland, so we celebrated with them before they all left too. We hear they are doing great as well, and enjoying the adventure. This all certainly proves that our friends are much braver than we are.
