an update

We're camping in our trailer (if that's what you want to call living in a 36 foot second home) right now on the Central Coast. I can't post any pictures because the USB port on my lap top doesn't work. Christmas was great....loved living it through the eyes of a 4 year old. My mom had surgery on the 22nd to replace her left hip, and we're very thankful that went well. She was even able to celebrate Christmas with us (twice!). We left last night after the last holiday gathering and arrived at our campground at 10 PM. This morning we had a great visit with the Thalmayer families (I grew up with the brothers, Jeff and Matt, and they are here with their families. So fun!) We were supposed to continue on farther south, but we decided to stay here with the rest of the crew, which includes my sister and her family and another family from their church. It's been great reconnecting with old friends and making new friends. Lily's been super busy with new toys and new friends. We're looking forward to staying here until Tuesday, and then we'll be back home for the New Year! Look for pictures after we get home!
