Wow! Another summer has whisked past and another fine year begins! The fam is mostly dispersed again into various corners of the world and Cal, Mattie, and I are here holding down the fort. I'll try to post a short overview... The first are some images of a June trip to meet Em after her italy semester abroad. Chelsea, baby Jane and I flew to Amsterdam then Rome and then met Em in La Spezia. Angie met us there also! We hiked the Cinque Terra, visited Florence, then continued to Athens and the Isle of Santorini. Cal and Mattie partied at home!
A week later, Mattie and I road tripped to San Jose, Ca for the Nat'l Jr. Tramp and Tumbliing, where Matt competed in the level 5. She did a great job and took 12 out of 40 in tramp!..We had an great time going to San Fran, Monterey, and Santa Cruz w/ Steph and Sue Purcell then stopping in Quincy to see Mamo and Papa and cousins on the way home!
