Joshua and I made a quick trip to California at the end of September so he could present a couple papers. He started school on Monday, then we drove down Wednesday and had dinner in Modesto with the family. Thursday we had a quiet morning and lunch with Dave and Gayle, then Joshua gave an invited talk at Stan State. Dave, Mom, and I went to the talk and Joshua did a great job. Then I returned to Visalia with Mom while Joshua went out to dinner with members of the philosophy department and presented another paper at the PACT conference in San Francisco on Friday.
Saturday, he joined us in Visalia where we were spending the morning watching soccer games. Evan is number 2 above, speedy little guy.
Micah's game was next.
Thanks to the Nickells and Trevinos bringing shades, we were able to relax and enjoy the games without getting too hot.
Natalie's was the last game of the morning. It was fun to see how much all three of them have improved since we saw them play soccer last.
Picture at the games with the Nickell kids, then all the nieces and nephews. Gotta love being squished by such good kiddos!
We headed to Michelle and Jonah's house for lunch and to tour their new house, which is great. Good layout and plenty of space.
Emery's game was early afternoon and pretty cute, and chaotic. After the games, we headed to Mom and Dad's house for the rest of the afternoon and family dinner. The Nickells and Trevinos left after dinner and Joshua and I returned to Modesto.
The next morning we enjoyed Mr. T's donuts for Solace's birthday breakfast. It was fun to be able to be there and celebrate with her. After breakfast, we hit the road and headed home.
