Thoughts

Since I was fortunate enough to get some people to cover for me at work, Karena and I were able to attend our family BBQ in Valencia.

Since Jonathan is about to fly out to Connecticut to begin his college career at Yale, we knew we had to get the whole family together at least once more this summer. And my aunt's house proved to be the best place.

Since it's an hour north of LA, it made the drive for Sandra and Gabe and Caleb that much easier. And we got to swim in the pool and partake of some excellent BBQ.

But the highlight of everybody's weekend was seeing Caleb get into the pool for the very first time. He seemed to enjoy the water, although he still seemed puzzled that someone could jump, dive in, make a big splash, and then come up again. Needless to say, it was hilarious and so amazing to watch him in the water.
