May Adventures


Whew! Sorry for the delay between posts. May was a crazy month full of travels, plays, deadlines, a bout of croup, and lots of laughter. Most of our adventures were not caught on film, but here are some photos that we did manage to take.


We headed to Exeter, CA (Drew's hometown) for his 11 year high school reunion. We had a wonderful time visiting his dad's ranch, staying with the Altermatt family, visiting Great-Gramps, and seeing some old friends.

Back at home... after a long tech week, Drew took Clara and I to the San Jose Ballet in honor of my birthday. Clara thought it was magical. I think we have a little dancer on our hands!



Dressed up for the ballet! Thanks to Drew for a wonderful birthday present!



Clara loved all the ballerinas.

We headed down south this past week. We spent a night with Grammy, Tia, and Tio in Ojai (no pictures, boo!). Next we spent a week in San Diego where Drew conducted experiments and Clara and I hung out with friends. Finally, we headed up to Redlands, CA for Drew's cousin's wedding (again, no photos). It was a whirlwind from which we are still recovering but we had fun.



Clara and Hannah kick it at Red Robin.



Dinner at the Montgomerys. Here's a photo of Stew, Uncle Blake, and Drew



This picture was taken by Annie Montgomery. I love the joy on Clara's face and Drew's pride as he watches her.

We also had the privilege of visiting Drew's Aunt Jeanne in L.A. just a few days before she passed away after a long struggle with cancer. Jeanne was a phenomenal woman. She was a dancer when she was young and so I've always felt a connection with her. Please keep Drew's family in your prayers this week as we all grieve the loss of a remarkably kind woman.
