We had so many wonderful visits.  Thank you for sharing your time with us Bay Area!!  We shared lunch with Susan and Warren the day we arrived.

Catching up with my college roommate Salina.  

On to Yountville with Jim and Lili for fairy wings, lots of swimming, and live music and dancing in the park. 

Then down to Oakland and back to our neighborhood. Thank you for hosting us Ash, Stacey, Mia and Aman.  Mia, Carmela, SoJo and Caleb pick up together like no time has passed.  

Laughing with Trish and Jon, champagne on the deck with Sarah, beers with Scott, Andrea, and Alex.

Visits with Peter, Cory, Natalie, Xola, and meeting little Qemina for the first time!  What a doll!  

A fabulous block party with the neighbors in Celia's driveway including a tour of our past house - thank you Jack!  It was so wonderful to see Elmer, Suzette and Evan - check him out winning a CAR at halftime during a Warriors game!!  Go Evan!!  Sweet moments with Michelle, Lawrence, Shwacko and Siarra, Lisa and Nikee, Lawten and Quinn, Beatriz, Magda, Amy, and Celia - always the perfect hostess.  I miss you all already!

Quick trip to West Africa

I took a quick trip to Ghana to attend the African Amphibian Working Group Meeting. My good friend Caleb Ofori-Boateng organized the meeting. Anne got her wish when I visited Caleb's church and took photos of him with his family. 

Monkeys, all of them

Fun with Cousin Joy, Auntie Lisa, and Boku

The kids are having so much fun with family in Huntington Beach. They got to go to Knott's Berry farm with Joy and Lisa and Boku.

Uncle Mo is doing great

Adam traveled to Texarkana to visit Uncle Marvin. Uncle Mo is doing fantastic. He is living close by his family, and he gets to see them often. Here are a few photos of him and his family.

San Diego Skate & Surf

World champion downhill skater Lynn Kramer hosted us at her house in San Diego over 4th of July! Lynn took us downhill skateboarding, surfing, and sailing. We also made it to Legoland and the San Diego Zoo, and revisited the church where we got married back in May 27th 2000.
