A Too Much Fun Summer Part Two

So the day Jay, Rachel and Taylor left, Stephanie and Santiago flew in from Knoxville with thier little baby, Saigen Kai. It was our first time meeting Saigen too and he was such a little cutie and a good baby too. Steph and Santiago are always a blast and they're also very entreprenurial and full of vision and ideas. A lot like Matt and I, so we spent hours everyday just talking about businesses and investments. I know Matt and I were really encouraged by them. Stephanie was actually out here in part because she bought a Stroller Strides franchise, which is headquarted here in San Diego and so she had to go through training before her grand opeing on September 5th. They went ahead and made a vacation out of it and stayed for 10 days.

When they first got here, we talked about all the things we were gonna do and it seemed then like we would have plenty of time but the week went by so quickly. And we did do a lot. We hung out with friends, went to the beach several times and definitely got a surf session in at the shores. As I'm writing this I'm remembering how much fun we had and I wish they were still here. Actually, I shouldn't say that or they'll want to move back here again and they've got some stuff to do over there. God's blessings on Stroller Strides, Knoxville. Go, VOLS!!!

A Too Much Fun Summer - Part One

This has been a busy month for us. Jason and Rachel flew in from Seatle to stay with us at the beginning of the month. We got to meet little baby Taylor for the first time. He was only three weeks old and he was sooo cute. It felt strange to hold a little newborn again. They grow so fast. Evan looked so big next to him. In about a year or two they will be little buddies. Anyway, Rachel's sister was getting married so they were busy going to wedding events, bachelorette party, rehearsal dinner, etc. But after that was all over we just hung out. We went to the beach and the bay and out to eat, of course. We were sad to say good-bye but they'll be back for her other sister's wedding in October. It will be nice to see them again. Especially Taylor, who Matt calls Taylor made.
