Outnumbered

Well, Christmas has come and gone and so has 2017 (almost). We had a great Christmas at home, with my parents here to help celebrate.
Here are a few of the highlights.....
Of course we've already been to see the new Star Wars movie, The Last Jedi. I don't have a picture of that, but I do have a picture of the boys opening their new X-Wing drone!...

I know I haven't posted many pictures of E serving his mission in parts of Florida, Alabama, Mississippi and Georgia, because......well, he doesn't send me many pictures.
However, he does send enough for me to do a quick recap of the places he's been the last 18 months. Starting in Thomasville, Georgia, home of CSU football coach Mike Bobo....

I was going through my phone deleting old photos when I realized, to my horror, that some of those old photos had not seen the light of day.
It's okay, I only forgot about a few important things. Like the first day of school.....
His first day  of  school was the same day as the solar eclipse....

Although it pains me to take a vacation without E, we decided to spend a few days in San Francisco last week. The kids have never been there, so it was fun to show them around such a great city!
We started off taking a tour of the city on this refurbished trolley car on wheels. It was an awesome way to get a feel for what we wanted to go back and visit on foot....
