My All Grown Up Family

We had not all been together for a long, long time until December when at least our biological kids were home (minus three of the four grandchildren and two of the daughters-in-law). We took advantage of it by having one of our daughter's good friends, who just happens to be an outstanding photographer, take a few photos of us.

If it's Wednesday, this must be Seattle

Since the first week of February, I have traveled extensively for my job. After being selected for a long-term detail, I spent a week in Washington, DC for orientation. The locations selected for my services in the pilot program are Seattle, Tacoma, Olympia, Silverdale, and Vancouver, WA and the state of Oregon. In another business trip for training, I had the pleasure of going to Laguna Niguel, CA for five days while my own home still resembled a polar cap.
