End of the year school program

I know other peoples kids video can be a bore, but if you are interested
Hope had her end of the year preschool program today.

Hope's B-Day Party

Had Hope's 5th Birthday party last Saturday.
Just a small party at home with some kids from
her preschool class and some from the neighborhood. If you look closely you can see
Joseph, Andrea and Theresa in the picture below.

How about some recent pictures?

Hey Miriam, Maya and others,
I realized the other day that it's been quite a while since we saw Thomas and Alyx. In my mind
I still remember them as little kids but Mom told me they are 15 and 16 (?) now.
And I can't remember the last time we saw Maya.
Here's some of Ashley and Hope.

New dog, old tricks...

So here's our new puppy--Thomas's, really, but we're all having fun with him (and cleaning up after him!) His name is Asher; he's two months old.

Speaking of dogs...

Today we adopted Charlie a black lab/pointer. We started our own blog, you can see pictures of Charlie there (there's not much on it yet, but we'll be adding to it ---http://mattnbreannastevens.blogspot.com/).

Old dog, new tricks...

So Thomas got me to try the Wii last night. Have to say, it was waii more fun than I expected! I've always declined to play video/computer games with the excuse that I didn't want to get "hooked", but the truth of the matter is that I suspected I wouldn't be able to play worth a darn--an assumption which was amply borne out when I finally tried "Flat Out 2" last year.
In any case, I particularly enjoyed the golf, and I'm not at all discouraged by the fact that the Wii gave me a "fitness age" of 75!!

Family Trip to San Diego

Here are some pix from our trip to San Diego a few weeks ago. David has better ones; maybe he will post them.

The Studio Diner, which we saw on the Food Network, and wanted to visit. Michael likes to entertain Brian Jr. Michael with Alia (4 1/2 mos. pregnant). The Hotel del Coronado, which is beautiful (and expensive!).
