Shauna: December 2014
http://herewearetogether.blogspot.com/2014_12_01_archive.html
Friday, December 26, 2014. December 20th at Garland Ranch in Carmel Valley. Links to this post. A Month of Christmas. A visit to Santa at Bass Pro Shop in Mesa. They got a perfect picture of Penny on Santa's lap. Ours was the opposite of that. Broke out the chocolate and Lego advent calendars. Drew's didn't last long. Pacific Grove Christmas Tree Lighting. Love our small-town festivities. Sally, in her shyness, barely participated. Drew had some great jazz hands. Pacific Grove light parade with the Wades.

Shauna: June 2014

Monday, June 23, 2014. I took this as Owen's official "before braces" picture. But thinking these show off his overcrowding a little better:. Phase 1 is started and so far, so good. Links to this post. Remember this nice little scene from my vacation photo dump? Our last stop before heading home: the Klamath River overlook. All along this trail I saw leaves of three. I was so careful to let them be. But then a few days later itchy bumps appeared. Thought I had gotten eaten alive by mosquitos. My friend t...

Shauna: September 2014
http://herewearetogether.blogspot.com/2014_09_01_archive.html
Sunday, September 28, 2014. Stole this picture from Crystal's Facebook). Crystal (Justin's cousin) and Dan got married in San Francisco City Hall. The festivities brought out a bunch of Hollobaughs. And the Hollobaughs know how to have a good time. Beautiful building, inside and out. Right across the street from city hall was food truck heaven. And being new to food truck heaven, I didn't realize how slow they are at filling orders. Another stolen Facebook picture). The reception was at Pacifica Beach.

Sunday, July 27, 2014. So many doctor/dentist appointments. Braces. Poison Oak. And other random things. An afternoon on the trolley. Got frozen yogurt (below), then went to the aquarium. This lasted about a week. Owen and Drew are so sloppy with their handwriting, I was having them relearn how to write. This is one boredom buster that worked. Love his stance holding his imaginary bat. Sally is dying to start gymnastics. Tried out a few gyms. Wish we had done a few more. Fort Ord park with friends. Thank...

Shauna: August 2014
http://herewearetogether.blogspot.com/2014_08_01_archive.html
Friday, August 22, 2014. Drew had been waiting 10 weeks for this moment. I tried, but didn't cut it when it came to playing catch. It killed the kids to go to school after we picked Justin up from the airport. When they got home (and finished homework) they were just happy to be out front with Justin. August is as obsessed with Justin as ever. He's called for me like twice since Justin's been home. Links to this post. Wednesday, August 20, 2014. She ran and jumped up to hug him. And I'm glad it's over.

Shauna: April 2015

Thursday, April 30, 2015. The Good Old Days. Usually, "Good Old Days" happens on General Conference weekend, so we rush down in-between sessions. But this year, because of Easter, it got pushed back a week. We walked down early for the parade and then walked down to the street fair after. Same baseball game as last year with the same plastic bats as prizes (all but one popped before we got home). Did a few rides, walked a lot, and then walked some more on home. Love our small town festivities. This kid j...

Monday, March 30, 2015. Justin and His Babies. At the time, this was so funny (all the kids were trying to copy Auggie's hug pose). But now, a couple weeks later, it's just kind of precious. Links to this post. Sunday, March 29, 2015. Drew had his birthday planned out pretty much to the minute (weeks in advance):. Stay home from school. Bike to Pavel's for breakfast. Bike to Subway for lunch. Bike to Subway for dinner. Drive to Baskin Robbins for ice cream (instead of cake). But his alternative was Coco's.

Shauna: Beach, Bach, Big Sur
http://herewearetogether.blogspot.com/2015/08/beach-bach-big-sur.html
Sunday, August 02, 2015. Beach, Bach, Big Sur. Happy to be back at the beach after our trip to Arizona. Trying out Justin's new camping hammock (Father's Day gift). Nolan (Owen and Drew's friend/our neighbor) took this picture and added the caption. Sally and I went to the family concert at the Carmel Bach Festival. By this picture you might think it hokey or cheesy, but on the contrary! I use fancy words when writing about Bach). The flutist and the opera singer:. He walks around like he owns it. I love...

Thursday, July 30, 2015. Oh look, we fed more animals. This was at a deer farm in Flagstaff. Justin went there when he was a kid and wanted the kids to have the same experience. Only I'm not sure the deer were so aggressive back then. These guys had Sally in tears. And Drew's foot got trampled in the stampede for the deer food he was holding. The place had other animals, too, including this angry camel and a few reindeer. Last stop of the trip: Bearizona. Not Worth. It. Aside: this Owen selfie is cute.
