New members of the family

 We are happy to welcome Liam Oscar Biddiscombe to our Family.  Kristen and Dannielle  finalized his adoption last month, making them a happy family of three. They have fostered Liam since birth and are terrific parents.  We were happy to have them here a few months ago and will hope to visit them often.

And down south in Huntington Beach 

we celebrated another expected arrival.

Kelly and I attended a lovely shower

for Kristen and Alex's new baby

Sophia Mae Farmer

who is expected to arrive in January.

We know they are going to be great parents.

Alex is practicing on Kristen's sisters son, another Liam

On our way home we enjoyed brunch

 in Long Beach, with Kelly's 

former co worker Bailey.

Lots of good city planning conversation.

September ...

 

Lots of change going on in September. My dads house sold and then began the work of preparing a shed at Kelly's to store mom and dads art work. Introducing "The Farmer Family Museum"

The art work is moved to Kelly's

and fills her living room and office

We dismantle the old storage

And the new is almost finished

This is what it was at mom and dads house.

We hope it all goes back together.

We can invite family to take some 

when they visit.

Meanwhile, our apple crop was awesome this year

And....wild turkeys in the garden.

Mike and I chase them out.

Moms art friend sent a picture of an art exhibit

mom had at the Federal building in LA.

My dad worked on the design of the same building.

And Tery and Michelle come

to pack up mom and dads art book 

collection...willed to their art students.

Our Unitarian Universalists Hwy clean up

added a new section on Hwy 1. 

Janet, Mary, Randy and I are the A Team

There is always time for a nice hike with friends.

The shipwreck

And....at the same time,...

our son Cameron in Ohio got a new hip.

He was up walking within a few hours

and now free of his hip hurting 

and popping out of alignment

Mike and I enjoy an evening of  dinner out

 and wonderful guitar music at the PAC

And my special PG Tips tea....

honors the Queen and her Corgis'

We are getting used to saying

 "Long Live the King"
