Many Changes

Well, there’s lots to talk about regarding changes in our lives, but I’ll go back and do that another time. For now we’ll talk about our trip to New York to see Kaiya’s Nana and Grandpa. For grandpa, it was his first time meeting his new granddaughter. It was also a first for Aunt Lauren.

On June 30th, 2005, I flew up from San Diego to Oakland to have my video game supper club dinner and to see my wife and daughter that I hadn’t seen in two weeks. After spending a few days there with my in-laws (and setting up my father-in-law’s DSL line and updating his PC, Sharon, Kaiya and I flew to New York.

Kaiya was great on her first MAJOR plane trip. She slept about 2.5 hours out of the 5 hour trip though by the end of the car ride on the other side from JFK to Goshen, she was a bit agitated (understandably).

We spent a lovely week with my parents including a great BBQ on the 4th of July where a lot of our family and friends came to see the baby (though it was still a small affair). Over the course of the week we saw Ellen & Roger Freda, Millie, Michael, George & Jeanie and their grandmother, Sheila & Stan Plowden, Sharon Sprague, Aunt Linne, Uncle Arthur and even Grandma Svensson.

I sorted out all of the computer issues and home theatre issues in the house and even fixed a few things that didn’t really need too much fixing.

Some pictures of the trip are here.
