Family

As promised, here is my family. Most still live in Sacramento where I grew up, my little sister and her fiance live in Romania and my Mom now lives in L.A. and is taking care of my grandma -(we refer to her as Nana :)...

This is my niece Zoe and her new baby brother Joshua, the day after he was born. If you can't read it her shirt says, "I'm the big sister" :) It was so cool to see her reaction and joy at seeing him.
Here is my sister Alison and her fiance Alistair. People call them Ali and Ali...kind of cute. They live and work in Romania with an organization called Networks. They do so much for this village they live in (as well as other parts of the country) - you should take a look if you're interested....www.networks.org.ro/site/ Anyways, they're getting married in October in England (Alistair's British)
This is my Mom holding Joshua on Easter Sunday. She moved down to L.A. to help care for my Nana a couple years ago (but Sacramento and L.A. are only like 6 hours apart) so she comes up a lot to see the family.
Here's me and my dad when we went to Yosemite. He loves going to places like Yosemite and Tahoe. He's retired at the moment, so he goes up there a lot, but still not as much as he wants to - as he would tell you. And this is Beth and Bob, my older sister and brother in law, also the very, very proud parents of Zoe and Joshua.

So that's my family, basically. I couldn't fit more pictures on this post....I'm learning this blog thing, but there's also Nana, and Evan - who's like my little brother. I love em. :)

Matt is now blogging


So this is my first time blogging. I'm not a big fan of that word, it doesn't really roll off your tongue...it's like a mix of Blah and slug. I really don't have anything significant to say right now, but here are some pictures from a recent trip to California I took to visit my family...I was there for two months, mainly because my sister was due to have a baby...his name is Joshua (below) and he was born on March 20th. I'm pretty sure he peed on my like right after I took this picture :)

My dad and I went on a great trip to Yosemite (right) and it's hard to take bad pictures there...it is so beautiful. I also got to go camping up at Lake Tahoe with Evan (below). We went on some great hikes and made it to the top of some semi-mountains. It was fun. I'll post some more pictures of my family soon, got to go for now.
