Paul's Promotion

Paul was promoted to Lt. Commander. It was a neat ceremony and we always feel so patriotic after attending something like this. It really does make us proud to serve our country.

Paul taking his oath!

Then we celebrated by driving across the street to the Zoo. Grandma and Grandpa Shupe were here to celebrate with us.
BUT.......where is Grandpa?????
Oh Yeah.......he's taking all the pictures!

Chloe's Dance Recital

San Diego Civic Dance Arts Show Featuring

CHLOE CATHERINE SHUPE
as well as about 200 students.

Chloe did a beautiful job dancing to Harry Connick Jr's "A Wink And A Smile".

Papa and Nana came down from Las Vegas for the occasion!

Ryan presented her with Pink Roses after her performance. She was beaming from ear to ear just as a true STAR should. We are so proud of her!!!!

Outdoors with Papa and Nana

While Pat and Gwen were here visiting, we went on some outdoor adventures.  Our kids always love taking hikes at Torrey Pines Nature Preserve and we wanted to share it with them too.

 

  

Next day we went to Point Loma to see the lighthouse, the tide pools , and enjoyed the salty sea breeze.

 

 

Then we were tired and rested at home on the couch!
