Life between November and May

Well, sorry we haven't posted in a long time! We have been busy!

December: We celebrated Christmas with Megan's family at her parents' house this year. It was a blast having everyone there - including 2 very pregnant sisters-in-law! We repeated our "Craigslist Christmas" gift policy this year where all gifts are to be used or home made. Megan co-directed her school's annual Christmas program and it was very fun and successful! Dave went snowboarding with Megan's brothers at night - they had a great time!

January: We went night snowboarding at Squaw Valley and had a great time! Not much else has happened - still recovering from Christmas and getting back to work and, for Dave, school.

February: Babies! Both sisters-in-law gave birth in February: Kai and Henry are our new nephews, and they are really cute! Megan and her co-teacher took their junior highers on an over-night field trip to visit some museums, a college (complete with basketball game), and the beach! It was lot of fun.

Sadly, David's grandpa was diagnosed with Leukemia in February. Dave was able to visit and help alleviate some of the sadness.

March: Now we get a little more busy. Dave had an interview for a programming job - and got the job! We went snowboarding with Megan's parents at Sugar Bowl (during the day this time). Megan had a very fun birthday party at a local park with family and friends.

David's grandpa passed away in March. We celebrated his life with family through having a BBQ and a great memorial service. We miss him a lot, but also rest on the assurance he is with the Lord.

April: Dave starts his new job! Woohoo! He is really enjoying programming at a small company in Auburn, which is a little over 20 minutes East of here. Megan is still working at the school and the YMCA teaching and having fun. We attended Megan's friend Kaci's wedding in the Sonoma area. It was a lot of fun visiting with friends, eating delicious food, and seeing the newlyweds!

Our garden continues to flourish, and we plan to plant new flowers and vegetables soon.
We are looking forward to attending two weddings in June for some friends.
This summer, we want to go camping a lot and have already booked a site for a short trip. We are hoping to go camping with Megan's family, Dave's brother, and friends. We'll be sure to post pictures from all our crazy adventures!

That's a quick recap of the last few months. We will work harder to keep updating more often and with pictures!

P.S. Dave ran 100 miles since January 1!
