At our 5th year in Elk Grove, we're excited to announce the arrival last year of the Tam Family! Bonnie's parents officially became Elk Grove-ians in May of 2023. In other exciting news, there are now TWO Tesla supercharging stations in Elk Grove! In the next several years, we are looking forward to the arrival of Hmart, Sacramento Zoo, and Whole Foods. We have also found all sorts of hidden gems in our community, including fusion takeout spot Mecha Mucho, Japanese confectionery Osaka-ya, and beautiful Stone Lakes National Wildlife Refuge. Come visit and let us show you around!

It's amazing that we're now finishing our second year in Elk Grove. We spent the pandemic year fulfilling lots of home projects and getting acclimated to our new locale. Now we're looking forward to a summer of finally seeing family & friends, and showing them the delights of the Sacramento region. From intimate vineyards to river adventures and fascinating Gold Country history, there are lots to do & see in our new home base!

We've moved into our new home! So far, we're delighting in living in a modern house (insulation! whole house fan! more than 1 outlet in a room!). The house is still full of unpacked boxes and we have taped up butcher paper on our windows until we find the time to order our blinds. However, we're back to our own space and enjoying getting to know our new neighbors. Come visit us!!

We can't believe it's been 3 full months since we've moved to Elk Grove! We are staying with Tony's brother and sister-in-law who generously opened their home to us while we wait for construction to finish on our new home. Thankfully, construction is still on schedule, and we expect to close on the house and move in by Nov 1st. 

Juliet and Alex are enjoying their classes at Zehnder Ranch Elementary (although there has been lots of grumbling from the princess about the summer heat in Elk Grove). We also found a lovely Mandarin tutor to work with the kids 2x a week. 

We've started the process of shopping for furniture and appliances, as well as all the wonderful paperwork that comes with a home purchase. We are looking forward to moving in and settling down after living out of our suitcases for the past few months. I'm very excited to plan a long period of hygge this winter and savor being in our own home again surrounded by family! Come visit us during the break!! :)

Dear Friends, 

We wanted to share with you that we are starting a new chapter of our lives this summer. After much, MUCH consideration (debate/tears/more debate), we are moving to Elk Grove! We know you may have some questions about EG...check out our handy FAQ. ;)

Some of Tony's family already live in the Elk Grove/Sacramento area and Tony's parents are excited to be back near friends. It wasn't an easy decision and leaving our dear friends and family is the most difficult part! However, we definitely feel like this will be a great way for us to explore new opportunities and a slightly slower pace of life.

We'll move in late June to a temporary place while we finalize our permanent new home. We would love to meet up before we leave, and we hope you'll consider coming to visit us after our move!! And not to worry, we will continue to be out in the Bay Area every 3-4 weeks for meetings/work so you'll still see us around periodically.

Stay tuned for our permanent address! 

Big Hugs & Lots of Love, 

the Kams (Bonnie, Tony, Juliet, Alex, and Brownie)
