Declan Hercules: We've moved!


Phew!  It's been a whirlwind two months since the holidays.  We are fully moved into our new house - though it required a TON of work and lots and lots of trips between the two houses.  I love my new room and particularly our huge deck where I ride my bike and Keevah drives her little red sports car.  We have an amazing view of the whole valley, and can even see San Francisco!  

Last time leaving the old house...

Friends but no furniture:  Mama & Keevah with Ms Cara & Mr. Bill

All clean!

We will never get tired of the sunsets
 We managed to squeeze some Tahoe time into the past two months as well.  Uncle Ben & Auntie Aubree, and cousins Rinnah, Providence and new baby cousin Antalya were in town from Jordan. We celebrated Gee's 70th birthday in Tahoe with everyone together.  I loved skiing with Auntie Aubree, and Keevah is getting so much better - even going on the chair lifts and skiing without her harness already!  That girl is fearless!  We had such a great time playing with our cousins - just wish we got to see them more often...  We had some professional photos taken of the whole gang too!
