Weekend Fun

Last weekend Marley and I went to the Farmer's Market for the first time with some of our new friends, then were off to Mike's History Fair at his school. Marley was magically transformed into a Tiger and Dad went for a swim!!

Then we celebrated Suzanne's Birthday at Abby's house and made new friends...with bubbles!

Sometimes I just look at him and cry...he is such a beautiful little soul. I can't believe how much I love him. I always thought all those sayings about how much you love your kids was cliche...but it fills me...the love I have for him completely fills me up!!

Yet again, way too long! But I am back!!

So we have been in Temecula, well Murrieta really, since the end of October! I know, I know, I have been terrible at keeping up with the blog, but I do ha

ve defend myself with the 220 commute I was driving everyday. But that is no more and I am now staying hope for the next few months, until I get a new job! And I must say I am absolutely loving it!! I am getting stuff done around the house

I am taking Marley to school on my bike, while he rides in the chariot

and we are enjoying all that Temecula has to offer, like swim lessons with new friends

the duck pond

the parks

He's such a big boy he is sleeping in a big boy bed now

And he is showing his artistic side by taking his own pictures

When he turns three next month, we will be able to enroll him in sports and other fun stuff (there's a theater class that I know he will love!!) So all in all, we are loving our new life!!

It's Christmas Time

Last year we were flying to Minneapolis on Christmas and didn't have a tree...nor did we have room for one, so this year, we are able to celebrate in style...almost...note the mismatched paint on the wall...we have grown tired of painting and things have kind of come to a stand still...regardless, we are still in the Christmas spirit!!

We celebrated Christmas with Mike's parents yesterday and also went to a Christmas extravaganza with Santa at his school...he loved it all!

After the festivities at school, we went home to open presents with Gram and Gidtu!

It's Been WAYYYYYY Too Long

I haven't updated the blog in months because we I haven't had my camera and we have been living out of suitcases pretty much since the last blog post. Well, I still can't find the camera cab;e to connect to the computer, but I do have a few photos from my iphone. So I shall attempt to catch up on the events of our summer.
We first lived Kelli and Emma for the last month of school, which was a life saver in the finance department! Then we went to Indio for a week with Papa, which was great!! Sun and swimming! Then it was off to Carlsbad, which is where we have been ever since! This is a picture of our pad...we are staying in the little apartment at the bottom...not the gigantic and beautiful mansion!And this is the view from our place. Every night after we put Marley to bed, we take our camping chairs out to the front yard and enjoy a glass of wine while we watch the sunset. We are certainly more thatn ready to move to Temecula and get settle into our new home!While we have been here, we haven't had the funds to do much, but we have taken Marley to Legoland where he was able to meet Bob the Builder.And we took him to Chuck E Cheese in Temecula...And to the San Diego Wild Animal ParkAnd plenty of trips to the beach!!So, all in all, I would say that it has been a pretty good summer! And we can't wait to begin our new life in Temecula!!
