Happy Summer..

We had a great time visiting family and friends in Ky. Flying ALL day with 3 kids and enough stuff for 10 was interesting but went rather well. Adjusting to the time change was a little hard but Claire did great. She is 7 months old already and rolling everywhere she wants to go. She scoots on her back as well. Not sure if crawling is something she'll ever do? Her thighs are too big I think :) Like Misty said, she may have been born in California but she got her first 2 teeth in Ky! Going back to the east coast was nice and we enjoyed the warm summer weather. The time went so fast, hard to believe summer is almost over. Emma and Taylor start Kindergarten in a couple weeks. They are excited but we'll see how the all day all week thing goes? Brian graduates in Dec from here so our time is ticking away. It has been a great opportunity to live in such a beautiful place. Emma and Taylor live in vacation and I wonder what more they could see at such a young age. It is a shame Claire will never remember this.. Looks like we will be going back to Pinehurst NC in Dec. It will be nice to be in driving distance to home again..

Brian is still doing his crazy mountain bike riding and running more then one person should.. I am trying to run and playing softball again which has been good. I am running the San Francisco 1/2 marathon July 26th. My great friends Wendy and Marta are flying out for it as well. I am still working 1-2 nights a week which feels like full time because of no sleep.. Emma and Taylor just finished soccer camp which went great! I thought they would have given me a hard time about going but they liked it. They took a session of swim lessons and will be doing that again real soon. They love swimming. We are busy busy and going to enjoy the rest of our time here. We plan to go to Yosemite and a couple other places before leaving! You would need to be here for years to do it all.
