So here is the low down from the past couple of months:
Filled up our last summer days with blackberry jam making, monkey making, and grilled pizza making!
Started school...Kindergarten girl!
Camped at Zion's Camp in Washington. Beautiful!
Reunioned with the Nielsen family on a trip to San Clemente CA!
We stayed in Liz and Josh's family's home on the beach.
It was incredible, amazing, relaxing, rejuvinating, etc. etc. etc.
Visits to Coronado Island (This is the spot for our 15 year anniversary!)
Disneyland!
Besides Splash Mountain with Daddy, this was the highlight!
Playing on the beach with Grandma and Grandpa!
You can't really see the view behind us, but just imagine the most amazing ocean view in the world and that is what we had!
Now, this beach home deserves a few more lines of praise here:
Posting pictures or even describing this amazing home wouldn't even do it justice. We all came home from this trip and longed for the walls made of sliding glass that open with the push of a magical button, revealing the amazing ocean, the cupboard drawers that seemed to close on their own, the endless drink drawers filled with ice cold water, sparkling grapefruit juice, etc., the three sets of washers and dryers, the elevator, the theater room, and the toaster.
Yes people, the toaster. The toast just seemed to glide down with such ease, then rose, perfectly toasted with the same beauty as it's decent. I came home to find my own $15 Target toaster just not cutting it. So, to help me feel a little piece of the CA home in my own little home, I bought the same toaster. No kidding, this toaster is truly a little slice a heaven. It's the little things you know.
I highly recommend it.

Back home. A "little" cotton candy at the DuPont Fall Festival!
P.S. In case you didn't notice the bump on my belly in the CA picture.....
we are expecting baby number three in May! I'm only 12 weeks but look much farther
along...I hear this is one of many fun things that comes along with having three kids!
