Bye Gramma C!

Here's a picture Chesta took of Jeff and I at the San Diego airport before she left. Jeff and I are taking off this week for Thailand. I will try to keep up the blog while we are traveling so you can see what we are up to. We are going to be relaxing on the beach in Koh Samui for the first few days. I have been learning Thai and can't wait to try it out this time. Love to you all, Jan.

Thanksgiving Table

I've been reading Martha Stewart again...what do you think? :) Check Brittani's blog at www.rfamily-ourkids.blogspot.com for more pictures of our Thanksgiving, Gramma's visit, etc. Her blog is much better and she posts a lot more frequently than I have. I'll try to do better! Brittani is my inspiration! :)

Thanksgiving Day

Here are some photos from our Thanksgiving day. Unfortunately, Jeff was VERY sick in bed all day and missed the whole thing! We were all very sad. Jeff is the main chef in this household so Chesta and I had to step up and do all the cooking and everything turned out wonderful.

They had a great time with Gramma!

Bauer Happenings

Hi Everyone,

I have no idea what I am getting myself into here...Brittani's blog is so much fun to keep up with what's going on in her family that I had to try it for our family too.

We are living in Carlsbad on the border of Encinitas, the community is called La Costa to be exact. We absolutely love it here. We are only 15 minutes from the beach. Jeff's business, DCN is going very well, I am working just 2 blocks from the beach in Encinitas in estate planning, Brittani and JR are expecting baby #2, a boy, October 1. Nolan will begin his junior year at Cal State U San Marcos in a few weeks and he's working at a lab very nearby our house/his school/jeff's lab. Maddie is 11 and going thru all the normal pre-teen girl stuff. She will start middle school in a few weeks...oh joy :)

We are going to Oregon in 2 weeks to my niece, Tia's, wedding in McMinnville. I hope to see those of you who are in Oregon.

I will try to make regular posts with lots of pictures like Brittani does...we will see...

Jan
