A Visit With Santa

Despite the drizzling rain, we set out today to visit Santa Claus down at Cannery Row. My sister, Brooke and her son, Sage, is visiting with us right now, so it was a great treat to have them experience it together. You may be thinking you've never seen a picture of Trey with Santa before and you'd be right. Last year he was terrified of getting anywhere close to him. This year however, he went right up to him and told him he wanted a train. He even told him "Happy Halloween!" which must mean he likes him. Enjoy the pictures.

Lance's graduation

Time really flies! Not only has it been almost a month since I've posted (sorry!) but we've also been here in Monterey long enough for Lance to be an Naval Post Graduate School graduate. Yay, Lance! He now has his Masters in Defense Analysis. My camera gave an extremely disappointing performance and failed in zooming. Here's the best of the lot. But I did shoot some video and as soon as I go through them I'll post 'em. They did have a photographer and videographer at the ceremony so we'll be getting those pics too. ... which will be muuuuch better!
