Summer Fun Coast to Coast











4th of July brought fun and chilly fireworks outside our house. We had a nice BBQ with the Goldfarbs and Nolan. Then today Susan, Abbie, Cody, and I went to the nice Oakland Zoo. That's been a snap- shot of summer just in those two days-hanging out with family/friends and going on little and big adventures. The school year ended on June 15th and Cody and I started another summer of love together going to swim lessons, art class, story time in the library and countless parks. Then we flew to a very hot NYC for his birthday and Sara and Dorrian's wedding. Cody and I met up with Harlem friends Mike and then Sarba and loved catching up. We also went to Central Park and the History Museum. Dada was in CT for a Gilead Presentation then joined us and Greg's parents in NYC to announce we're expecting again in January! Both couples got to celebrate at great dinners in NYC. The next morning Barb organized yummy treats for Cody's 2nd birthday party in Central Park. Then we traveled to Long Island-with apparently everyone else in the universe-for the beautiful wedding. It was great catching up with college friends in person. Everyone looks great and is happy. I can not believe it's been 12 years since we threw a great graduation party and left little Oneonta and Hartwick College. We got back to a nice temperate Cali and I interviewed and got a new job for next year! I will be working out of the district office as a traveling consulting teacher for both new and struggling teachers. I'm really excited to see another part of education for this 1 year leave of the classroom. We're excited Mandy and Noah have successfully completed their stints in Ohio and Paige and Kyle bought a great house in Colorado that is no where near all the awful fires that hopefully seem to be subsiding. Well Cody's up from nap-time for another adventure. I love summer.
