California Dreamin’ and Wedding Bells

San Diego –
Thanks D & Mark for being so amazing and letting us come hang out with you for a few days.  We had so much fun hanging out in the sun, on the sand and even the lazy days at home. 
July 2011 053 San Diego Zoo…..  We spent the day at the SD Zoo with Dina.  Connor’s favorite things were the concrete elephant and the parrots.  We had so much fun watching Connor explore and learn.  He spent so much of the day pointing and questioning with “ahh” or “huh”….. we had fun!

As a final perk to the week, Dan literally ran by my cousin Kevin, his wife Michelle & their little cutie Patrick randomly hanging out in Carlsbad (home is SF for them).  We got to spend a little time in the pool with Connor & Patrick.... I can only imagine these two being great friends as they get bigger! 


Pittman Wedding --
Congrats to the Pittmans (now officially)!!You two made a beautiful couple and we are so happy for you.  Your excitement was contagious and its obvious you are a great pair.  We were so blessed to be a part of your day and get an opportunity to hang out with our “California family”. 

Connor had so much fun dancing and kept us (as well as many of our friends) RUNNING!  Even when I’m exhausted from chasing him and wishing I had as much energy, I am reminded of the innocence he brings and the way he just enjoys life, from his hugs to the way he will run to the dance floor for dancing!  He lights up our life and we’re looking forward to watching all of the 801 babies grow (3+2 and counting)! Love you all!!July 2011 064Look at me!!

The last month has been full of travel.  Hawaii. Portland.  Seattle.  San Diego. Santa Monica.  I guess we’re trying to fit it all in before we’re grounded for a bit with a new bundle of joy!

Here’s a few shots from our travels and the moments in between….. next blog will be much more recent!
