This past weekend Justin and I drove down to my parents' house in CA where we met with all my other siblings and their spouses. We had a dinner to celebrate my parents' 40th wedding anniversary.

March 25, 1969
Lee & Carol
Wedding Day

The cake was a surprise which we picked up on our way down. Our life-long friend, Erin, makes cakes and we were so happy that she was willing to do this for us. We hadn't seen her or her sister or mom for years. It was fun to see them and catch up even if only briefly.
From L to R: Erin, Jessica, Isabel, me, Sabrina, Hazel

On Monday I went to Knott's Berry Farm with my sister's family. We left Hazel with my parents for the day.

We had the hardwood flooring refinished in the living room, front bedroom and hallway...and also had the guy extend the hallway flooring into the back first floor bedroom. Below are pictures of before and after the flooring was sanded and the new flooring installed. The final picture is of the flooring with the sealer still wet so I couldn't stand on it to take pictures at the same angle. Also, please note that the dark blue room will be repainted...previous owner's choice...not mine.
