Clark's home

A few photos around Matt and Shanni's home that remind me of visits to Newport.

They are starting on a major home remodel addition next week and so I thought I would take a couple of photos of things that remind me of their home.

We'll have to visit when they are done with the remodel about 9 months from now!

A moment at the Beach

After Isaac's graduation Shanni and a couple of mom's took the boys down to the beach for a couple of hours, I tagged along.  It was crowded, summer has begun at the beach!! 

The water was incredibly clear the boys said they could easily look down through the water and see the bottom of the ocean when they were out in the water.

Isaac's Graduation

Isaac's sixth grade graduation, he had about 50 kids graduate from his Anderson Elementary school in Newport Beach, CA.  He will now go on to the High School.  His promotion was a lovely affair.  They sang a couple of songs. Had a couple of the kids make remarks, and presented the diplomas.

Isaac gave some remarks.

Isaac had his 6th grade promotion!! It was a lovely affair!!  I was so proud of him.  He is a standout in my mind! 

The overriding theme was "Ohana , which means Family in an extended sense of the term, including both blood-related or extended. It emphasizes that family & friends are bound together and members must cooperate and remember one another. Family means no one gets left behind."
