First, our sweet friends the Bertera’s hosted a going –away party for David and me. We invited friends from our Bible Study. We used to meet at the Bertera home in San Leandro before they moved. Since our Bible Study days people have had multiple children, gotten married, and moved to other parts of the Bay Area. It was nice to get everyone together again under one roof –even if it was because we were moving away!

Robyn, Daniella, and Arrielle

The kids had so much fun that by the time we got home they were knocked out! I m so sad that I didn't get more pictures of the festivities.
Jadon got to hang out at his favorite the park in San Leandro with Micah and Biruk
The boys trying to figure out what to do with their new toy...
They got tired of me taking pictures of them. =-)
We went to the Oakland zoo with the Bandels.
These two have been hanging out literally since birth. They are growing up way too fast!!
My friend Jessie and her sweet daughter Karina came from Santa Clara to visit us !
We had lunch with Auntie Christy in Alameda!
We went to story time one last time! (It makes me sad to look at these pictures—Jadon LOVED going to the library for story time with miss Tina!) Luckily, Zoe and Biruk joined him. These three had sooo much fun together!
Miss Tina truly has a gift with the way she draws the kids into her stories and songs!

Arris! Not sure how long it's been since you've been here, but we definitely need to get together! I am sure you miss everyone from the bay area, but I hope that you guys are getting settled back here.
ReplyDeleteOh and I know someone named Biruk- he is Ethiopian. Is that little guy Ethiopian? He sure is cute. :)
I miss you:/ This post makes me sad!
