The next day, Saturday, was the party to end all parties. We were blessed to have family and friends from all over SoCal join us for an open house to celebrate birthdays and our housewarming. It was really heartwarming to have so many friends make the trek to our new home!

On the day of, our little family of four drove over Disneyland way. We couldn’t stay (Todd had to work), but as Annual Passholders, we wanted to pick up the gift card that Cara was eligible for as [...]

Galinda and Elphaba had a blast on Halloween! Our neighborhood was very quiet, but they had their cousins along for the walk and we enjoyed meeting some of our new neighbors.

I want to thank everyone here for all of the fantastic birthday wishes I received over the weekend. I’m sorry I haven’t been in touch with everyone who called, but we had quite a busy weekend. Nevertheless, it’s nice to feel loved.
On Saturday afternoon, Todd and I took the girls [...]

The pictures I have today will not feature either of my little rugrats.
I spent the latter half of the long weekend on a sailboat in Two Harbors, Catalina. My friend’s parents have a mooring there and we have many happy memories of spending time on their boat for the last decade.
This weekend was decidedly [...]
Blast from the Past

How lucky are we? We were hanging out at cousin Kerie’s last year when her friend, Cheryl (who is a pro photographer), snapped some candid photos of my girls. It was such a pleasant surprise to get some of them in my inbox yesterday!
It was also very strange. I know my girls [...]

Our friends Elizabeth and Wil came to visit today, and we decided to explore just one section of El Dorado Park. Cara loved feeding the ducks (and some extremely aggressive geese!). AJ was not nearly as impressed.
We also enjoyed strolling around one of the fishing ponds, watching the remote controlled [...]

In other news, tomorrow is my nephew’s birthday, so we went to Chuck E. Cheese this evening to celebrate. (Charles E. Queso is what my sister calls it in front of her kids, so they don’t know what she’s talking about.) Cara and AJ had a great time running amok, and Todd wanted [...]
