Thais!

Thais and family went to Aptos for the weekend. Justin and I went to an Easter gathering at Jan & Dave’s in Fairfield. Jan and sister Sharon are nieces of Phyllis.

The next generation has taken over family gatherings. Amazingly, Carol (Phyl’s sister) and I are now the oldest in the group.

Jan with sister Sharon and her children, Rosie, Jake and Maddie:

Jan’s son, Daniel and family:

Courtney (granddaughter of Phyl’s brother Charles) and Scarlett:

It was Lenin’s turn this time. We all met at Leatherby’s.

This would be a triple:

First time pitching:

This weekend, Sophia had a birthday brunch for her friends.

It was fun to hang out in the background, help out wherever needed and watch Thais rubber-band five little ponies in specific places on Carson’s head.

Avery had a volleyball game this evening and it was a bit of a rout. In fact when the other team scored their first point late in the first set, the entire room clapped. Thais and I joked it took longer for me to drive one way to the game than the game itself.

Only one parent available to get three children to three different locations at almost the same time. Grandma to the rescue. I took Avery to Ciavarella Park at 4:00 for pre-game practice followed by a 5:00 game.

Spring sports at St Ignatius: boys’ volleyball. Avery is serving, Lenin is line judge.

Posters for Avery (who would not divulge his jersey number until game time-lol), Rama, and Christian:

But they brought a marker and soon added #3. More dads wanted photos, including Lenin.

I picked up the boys from SI this afternoon and was treated to another new song:

Carson had a game later in the afternoon.

All this was followed by a community meeting to oppose a warehouse development planned to be near the Westlake and Westshore neighborhoods.
