McComb Family

It has gotten quite chilly around there the last few days. The highs have been in the upper 30s and low 40s. Not real pleasant weather for being outside. We started to head into town today and thought I should get a picture of the pond before it starts warming up (if it ever starts warming up!!). The waterfall is still running but it's covered with icicles. And the pond is pretty much frozen over. The fish are all huddled together on the bottom with a nice solid layer of ice covering the whole thing. I think we might get out the ice skates this weekend. : )

Well, it's finally here. Monday afternoon Bret got the call that his car was in. That meant the kids and I got to drive him down to Roseville to pick it up. Needless to say....he's a happy boy!!! Last night he took me out to dinner so that I could ride in it for the first time. He even let me drive it home! : ) Yeah, a ticket is not far in his future!! He he!!

My Gramma turned 80, so Sunday we had a surprise party for her down in the Bay Area. It was a lot of fun to see family I hadn't seen for quite some time (and others that it hadn't been that long!!). She was very surprised which means we all pulled it off.

Here is Adam helping Gramma open her presents. What a helper!!

While we were heading that direction anyway, we decided to go down a day early and hang out in Half Moon Bay. We first stopped in Pacifica and wandered around the beach a bit. It was a gorgeous afternoon - no fog or wind. How often does that happen!?!

We stayed in a hotel for the night. You would have thought it was the first time we had ever stayed in one. The kids were sooooo excited. They jumped on the bed, wrestled, and ran around like crazy people.

I took them to my old hangouts. We also stopped by my Elementary School (boy has it changed) and my high school (some changes there too!). It was a fun weekend although it made it all the harder to go back to work Monday after two weeks off. We've almost made it through the first week. Only one more day to go!!

It's a new year, so I thought I would give my blog a new look. Nothing like a little change now and then. I hope everyone had an enjoyable, safe New Year's Eve. We stayed home so that made it easy. Our friends David and Shannon came over (and of course the boys too), and we had a very nice evening. The kids outlasted all the rest of us!! I don't know how they do it. I was pretty proud of myself for staying up so late, especially knowing Adam (who was the one kid that went to bed early) would be waking me up early, pulling the covers off, saying "It's light - get up". Right now that's not too bad because the days are so short. He better not still be doing this in the summer though! : )

We're looking forward to 2007 and the adventures that await us. We'll be sure to post our more memorable moments here. Wishing you all a happy new year as well!!!
