Traffic Jam

When life happens, it's all at once.  I feel like it has been much too long since I've sat at my computer and posted an update for you all.  Blogging is a passion of mine but sometimes when we hit traffic jams in the fast lane of life, the things that we love get placed on hold. I'm sure you all can relate.

I took a drive out, to the other side of the property and encountered these lovely ladies at the bridge....

My dear Mom has just completed double knee replacement surgery at her young age of 84.  She came through it wonderfully.....I only hope I'm as strong as she is when I reach her age.  After three weeks of spending time in hospital and rehabilitation facility, with daily visits from her immediate family, she is back in her cozy home with my Dad and continuing with her physical therapy sessions.  

Over the summer, we made a decision on what schools our kids would be moving to.  Bryce began middle school and we moved Paige to another elementary school.  We cannot be happier with our decision.  Both the kids are extremely happy and are now excelling socially and academically.  They both love their new friends, schools, teachers and schedules.  We couldn't have asked for more than that.

With all of the new changes in our lives, we made time for some family fun time as well.  Bryce has been wanting to try a long standing pizzeria, Old Chicago Pizza, in nearby Petaluma.  After an hour wait time to be seated, we dug in to the deep dish style pizza.  So good.

And to work off all the carbs we just ingested, we bowled a couple of games at the close by bowling alley.

After a few gutter balls and a couple of strikes and spares, we called it a night.

I hope you all have been well this past month!!
