Life Back in America

Saturday-Sunday, June 13-14, 2015:

After a week of readjusting ourselves to life in America, we are now pretty much back to normal here in California.

We had a good weekend highlighted by . . . 

. . . a Saturday visit by Jacob
and his growing family

I wonder where he got that sharp looking t-shirt with the charging bull?

Vanessa and her lifelong and also
pregnant friend Angie visited as well

The two of them are due about a week apart at the end of July, Angie with a boy and Vanessa with our first granddaughter.

They were at our house so that Michael could take pictures of the two of them in their shared, motherly state.

Here are my favorite photos from Mike's efforts.

We're getting a Princess!

It could happen, I guess

 Patent leather, a must!

Angie and Vanessa

On Sunday, I went for a
3+ mile walk in Ventura

I like to
Walk on the Wild Side!

The venerable Ventura Theater

A good weekend indeed!

A big week this week as we start our Summer football workouts at Newbury Park H.S. on Tuesday.

We also will greet young Alberto Talavera from Murcia, Spain at LAX on Tuesday evening.

Alberto can eat!!!

"Tala," as he is known, was an excellent WR with our Cobra Junior team this past season. He will be spending the Summer with us trying to improve both his English language and American football skills.

This should be a fun Summer!
