Aimee Cervelli Bunting will be celebrating 10 years of marriage with her husband, Antonio, this summer. They have been living in Cotati, CA for the last six years. She is busy at home with her four children: Joey (7), Sammy (5), Sara (4), and Zach (2) and also very active in their schools. Joey and Sammy are in first grade at a Spanish-English dual immersion school. Aimee’s passion is teaching reading, which she did for seven years before having children, both privately in Cupertino and as a first grade teacher in San Jose. This year is all about recovery for Amanda Smith Burke and her family. After a crazy 2015, including twins, moving from England to California, and her husband Damian’s double lung transplant, the Burkes are ready for some normality in Newport Beach. Elizabeth is 3-years-old and twins Sam and Scarlett are 1-year-old. Damian and Amanda are excited to see what the future has in store for them. Angel Cabral Osborn also had a great year. She is currently in CBS hit comedy, Life In Pieces, and loves working with Dianne Wiest and Jim Brolin. Angel and her husband, Jason Osborn, are living in L.A. with their precious pup Oscar. He loves having a big yard! In July 2015, Kate Lynch Jerkens took a hiatus from the hospitality industry and is now VP sales and marketing for YAS fitness in L.A.
