We live in a cozy house on a quiet street in the lovely city of Palo Alto, which is 45 minutes south of San Francisco. Our house has been in Chris' family for three generations. We love having barbecues during the summer for our friends and their families. Our annual Halloween pumpkin carving party is always a hit. There are many families in our neighborhood with small children and we often get together during the summer for block parties. There are excellent schools in our neighborhood, one of which was ranked number one in all of California. We feel blessed that our children have a wonderful community to grow up in.
