the kids and i drove up to sj with j, mita and the kids to celebrate my dad's 78th birthday. (matt had just gotten promoted a few weeks before so he had to stay back and work.) we stopped by to see faye and bassett and i also got to see my sj girls. dad celebrated another year of health and strength with his annual 13-mile walk from his house in fremont to his barber shop in menlo park. i wanted to walk with the kids but it was too cold so we stayed behind and met them at the end. i almost didn't make the trip because matt couldn't go and i knew it would be so much work with just me but i'm so glad i did. spending time with my dad is the most amazing gift i have as an adult and i'm so thankful he's still here with us. seeing faye and bassett and spending time with them is also such a blessing. they mean so much to jason and i and are such an important part of who we are today. it was the first time my sister belinda met sophie and she hadn't seen jake in 2 1/2 years. j's kids were so much help with the kids and the trip was a success.
