Lain C. Church

On Tuesday, April 12, 2011, Lain C. Church came into this world. He decided to arrive 3 and a half weeks early. Both Lain and Mom, Melissa, are doing fine. Georgia and I packed up on Wednesday and drove to Rancho Cucamaonga to see him and his family. We will be here for about 4-6 weeks to help out with taking care of his brothers and help out getting everyone settled.

Here are our first pictures of the new Grandson.

Visits with Bay Area Friends

Late March and early April found us visiting with friends in both the East Bay and in the Sierras sking.

At the end of March, we spent the night with John and Joan Brothers in Concord. John and I have an annual bet on the football records of Cal's and Navy's football teams. The alumni of the team with the best record gets a dinner out out on the other. Navy won the bet this year, so we went to Concord, spent the night at the Brother's and had a wonderful dinner out at Scotts in Walnut Creek.

The first week in April, we joined Doug and Helga Carlton at their cabin about 30 miles west of the Kirkwood ski area. Here we enjoyed two wonderful days of sking at Kirkwood. The 6th was a "blue bird" day with lots of sunshine and the 7th had 16 inches of new snow with whiteout conditions. Early spring in the Sierras and the weather doesn't know what it wants to do.

Here are pictures of John and Joan with Georgia and Hugh, Georgia and I sking, and the Sierras on a beautiful , sunny, spring day.
