Rauch Cousins

We visited Chris's parents and not all of the grown-ups were there, but ALL of the grandkids were there.  Our kids has so much FUN playing with their cousins!

Keilah Swimming

The boys can both swim very well, but Keilah's just learning.  So I took this video of her demonstrating her skills.  I think she's doing wonderfully!  Go Keilah!

Father-Son Day

Chris, his dad, brother, and brother-in-law had a father-son weekend.  They raced go-carts, shot guns at a range, and went fishing.  Here's proof for the fish tale.

Dancing Keilah

Silas and Keilah are playing Wii Rock Band.  She's got the moves!

First Office

Chris got his own office space not far from home here in Los Osos.  It's got 3 rooms.  When you walk in you see this first picture.  The second desk is for his part-time intern.  The door in the background goes to a large room that Chris uses as a closet.  Off to the right in that picture, or directly ahead as you walk in the door, is the conference room - featured in the second picture.  It's a nice space, and I'm sure he'll get more work done there while the kids are home for the summer (but we do miss having him around all day).

Summer Break Begins!

Summer Break began with a long bike ride on the Bob Jones Trail to Avila Beach.

 Yes, Keilah rode her bike the whole way.  She's quite a girl!

 Then Saturday we went to the beach as a family, but of course we forgot to bring a camera.  So you'll have to imagine the children buried in the sand up to their necks and playing in the shore break.

Monday we had visitors - Chris's mom and sister, Ashleigh, with her adorable baby, Roxie.

Tuesday we went swimming at a community pool in San Luis Obispo.  It's been a fun start to Summer!

 Silas's best friend, Ryan, was there.

 Zeke was trying new swimming styles.  Go Zeke!

Final Rockies Game

Silas had his last baseball game.  He made some good hits (that's him at bat).

 He also got to pitch for his third game (he's pretty good).  It was a fun season!
