Mary met Mark in Washington State to go the Gray's Harbor Shorebird Festival. While they were they, they met with our former neighbors, Ron and Cathlee James, who have retired in Washington.

Mother's Day Brunch

Mary and I (mostly Mary) put together a brunch at our house for Mother's Day.

Dolphins in Las Vegas?

Mary and I visited Mark, Janice, and Allison over Memorial Day weekend. We stopped in to see the Dolphins at the Mirage hotel. They also have a variety of tigers, lions, and other big cats.

The Klinglers Visit

Inge, Juergen, Angelika, and Sonja visited us this year on their trip from Tokyo, through several points in the US, back to Germany. They were here for our 4th of July BBQ so you may be able to spot them in those pictures too.

Fourth of July BBQ

We had our annual neighborhood 4 of July BBQ this year and it was a lot of fun as usual. It got a little chilly in the evening but it was a nice day overall. Joe completely forgot to take pictures, but fortunately Mary took a few. See if you can spot yourself.

Mark, Janice, Allison and Dan Visit

Mark, Janice, and Allison made the trek from Las Vegas and Dan from Fresno to come and visit us. We got pictures from a couple of the outings:

• The Point Reyes Lighthouse. In what some considered perfect weather, Mary and family journeyed out to Point Reyes and toured the lighthouse.
• Boating/Kayaking in Monterey Bay. We spent one day out at Monterey Bay. Mary, Dan, and Janice kayaked while Mark, Allison, and Joe went boating. This was the inaugural voyage with Mark's new electric motor. Worked like a charm.

Family Portraits

We decided that we ought to have some informal "portraits" of our family so we had someone come out and take pictures of the four of us (Mary, Joe, Sterling, and Raky) in our back yard. Here are the results.

Dinner at Nonna's

We got together at Nonna's house in the beginning of September for a little dinner. I don't think there was any event behind it, we just hadn't gotten together for a while.
