2013 In Review

We welcomed Nico Bay and Evan Anthony into this world and said our goodbyes to Carson and Sandy's mom, Dora, as well as the wonderful, Bill Goodale. Whitney said yes, Sarah said yes, Shannon said yes, and Amy said yes to a possible June wedding. We helped Mr. & Mrs Peter Thomsen celebrate their beautiful wedding, as well as the birth of their son James Theodore. Congrats to Jeff and Erin; 15 years, Doug and Barb 34 years and Pops and Mimi ...... their 18,250th day together. Pops turned "70". Oh, we still wished Wiley a happy birthday, even though there was never a 29th of February. We had lunch with Ruthie, Hago and dinner with Joe and Geni at the Pageant of the Masters. Mags and Jill spent Thanksgiving in Miami and Christmas in Ireland. We saluted Broadway with Regan's dance group. Had the best seat for Cinema Paradiso. Pop's reunited with some old St. Francis buddies, Jill was promoted to ACD of art with Giant. We enjoyed the "re-birth" of 587, Evan's '32 roadster, Vitus Weiderholt and the "Battle at Pendlton". There were tummy bumps for little Amy, and Megan, and a big bump for our "roll-over" Anne. It was off to high school for Mya, and a big event for Mags and the POTUS, Barack Obama. Will and Doug had a big year with a couple of start-ups: Cardiff Products and the Laguna Tote Co.. Jenny gathered with her class of '83. Mike was buzzing along like an old pro landing some "NAMES" for GPSports Management. Devin was pressed and clean and ready to serve for the Cub Scouts. Aaron still wears his Vans ..... he has to ..... the money just keeps flowing in for his wonderful camera work. The William's hit San Felipe (twice), Costa Rica, Lake Tahoe, Mammoth and a number of cities too many to name.

Well, that's about it. If someone was left out, it was probably not on the blog. Hope all is well with this great family in 2014. "HAPPY NEW YEAR"
