August 2010 – Hayley is off to Stanford to start her sophomore year… we can’t believe how fast her freshman year went by!  Hayley is all grown up at 6′6″ and is very fortunate to be attending Stanford University on a volleyball scholarship.  She has one year of academics + volleyball under her belt and is ready for round two! 

If anyone is interested, some of the Stanford Volleyball matches are televised so I have posted the link to their schedule here.  Hayley is #21 and is standing center in the backrow.  Go Cards!  http://www.gostanford.com/sports/w-volley/sched/stan-w-volley-sched.html

And you can follow the team on Facebook too!http://www.facebook.com/StanfordWVB?ref=ts

My Summer Vacation 2009

Every summer ever since I was a little boy I have spent my summer vacation in Sveadal.  Sveadal is a swedish themed resort (I use this term loosely) which was established in the early 1920’s up in the hills behind Morgan Hill, CA.  My mother’s mother, or Mormor, was Swedish and became a member of Sveadal in the 1940’s.  There are cabins for rent and some cabins that are owned, a club house, two tennis courts, a pool and snack bar, a softball field and two outdoor dance floors.   I’ve included our family photo from this year’s trip.  It was taken on the deck of my sister Kelly’s cabin in August, the day before we dropped Hayley off to Stanford.

 HAYLEY IS OFF TO STANFORD UNIVERSITY!

August 2009 – This last weekend we took our oldest daughter, Hayley, off to college… I really can’t believe how fast time has flown by. It does seem like yesterday (worn out cliche but all so appropriate) that she was a toddler with golden curls and chubby thighs! Now she is all grown up and is fortunate to be attending Stanford University on a volleyball scholarship. We miss her already but are so happy for her future and the opportunities she will have. If anyone is interested, some of the Stanford volleyball matches will be televised and I have posted the link to their website and schedule here.
