Spring, Easter, Lee's 1st Birthday & a Little Trip to San Diego

 We went to breakfast on the Balboa Pier at Ruby's & then to see the surfers at 
The Wedge in Corona Del Mar a few weeks ago.

 March18, 1978-March18, 2013--35th Anniversary!!
 Fun with Lee
 Easter Sunday we all celebrated together at Abby's parents home. 
Here's Grammy holding Lee.
 28 of us enjoyed a delicious potluck & Christian fellowship in their new garage.
 After Easter dinner, we celebrated Lee's 1st Birthday. 
Abby's showing him the candle on his cupcake.
 "Hmmmmmm, I wonder what I should do with this??!!"
After eating several bites...Uh, oh, into his lap it goes!
 "I'm not finding very many Easter eggs!"
 Cousins! (Gretchen, Philip & Luke)
 Kirk, Jerry, Heather & Jeff
 Flowers from our yard (in a cute vase Robin made me)
 Honky-tonk song with Lee's help
 Love those 2 bottom teeth!
 The beautiful San Diego skyline from Coronado Island
 Waiting for our dinner at Il Forniao overlooking the water


 The Martsen's Home is a beautiful Craftsman style home built by a philanthropist near Balboa Park
 We took a tour & learned a lot about the family (with 9 kids) who lived here in the early 1900's.
He owned the Martsen department store which was later bought by May Co./Broadway/Macy's.
 This kitchen reminds me of the one in our home that we bought from Aunt Boo Boo.
 The gardens were beautiful too.
