The Marcottes

Here’s our new house …

It’s starting to come together

1) Our House

2) Me at the front door

3) The back patio/porch

4) Family room windows looking out to the back yard

We threw a surprise (at least I think he was surprised) birthday party for Steve while Nancy was here in Sacramento. We ate cake. We had a great time. Here are a few photos. I believe Steve has more photos as well that will be posted later.

Enjoy!

A little bit of a blast from the past. Here are the photos from Beth’s surprise visit to Nancy from last year.

Beth with the help of Steve, completely arranged and surprised me with a South African visit. Here are the highlights of her first week in Africa. We started with hiking in the beautiful Drakensberg Mountains, safari visits to the Kruger & Sabi Sabi where we saw all of the “Big 5″ & then ended with a relaxing stay at my buddy Patty’s, game farm……. Kudu Ranch.

The Heidenreich Family Christmas - 2006

Evidently, Christmas this year did not involve Beth. Strange that.
