The Skinners

Ivy, Daniel and Justin, Ian, Emily, Garrett and Owen are here now. Daniel just got through with his internship at Disney World in Florida and now he's looking for a job. They moved out of their rented home in Florida and trekked accross the US, arriving in Ramona on Monday the 19th. With one week to catch our breath (after the Silva's left) we are now a house full again! It was so much fun seeing the kids for the first time. Justin has grown and, at 13 1/2, he's pretty much the same heighth as his dad. We have really enjoyed having them here. Ivy's homeschooling. Yesterday they went to the Maritime Museum. I'll post some pictures when I get them downloaded from her camera.

Yesterday evening the Krauses came over. The cousins have so much fun together. The noise level was way on up there!

Fun With Twins

Balboa Park with Babies

Comtemplating the Koi.

Balboa Park

Leah has been here for almost two weeks now with three year old, Gavin, and 9 month olds, Teagan and Beau. What fun! Matt came home last Wednesday from a trip with some friends to Ireland. I've enjoyed playing with the kids and having Leah home.

Yesterday we went to Balboa Park and Matt and Leah went to the IMAX theater. They took Gavin in but he was scared and Leah brought him out after a few minutes then she went back in. Ally came with Pyke and Ollie to help me with the twins and Gavin and it went very well. Five little kids three years and under.... no problem.

Here are some pictures taken there. The fountain right outside the theater and the Koi Pond near the... plant place. I can not remember the word. Arboretum? It's where they have orchids and ferns and all kinds of beautiful flowers and plants. Oh, it's the Botanical Gardens.
