Family Updates

We had a wonderful Thanksgiving this year, as we had lots of family from California come up to visit us for the holiday. Gary’s family came up, and Pete’s son, David also came up.  We had quite a house full with all the kids, but we had a wonderful time with everyone. Rock Band was…

Yesterday, the Leigh Hill Reservoir (name to be changed in the future) was going to open and start filling with water.  We decided to go to the opening ceremony of the Reservoir and Mom, Pete and Jennifer met us there.
