Greetings from sunny Orange County! Me and the kids made it safely to my grandma's house and we've been having a good time.
Blessings this past week:
Spending Labor Day together as a family and exploring a new park together.
Having awesome Thai food in Austin with Darren and the kids.
Having Darren in town on Tuesday to help get me and the kids passports expedited and the packing done.
Getting everything packed and the house ready to be left for an entire month, with time to spare!
My great friend who let Lila come play on Wed morning while I took Darren to the airport.
My awesome visiting teacher who took me and the kids to the airport on Wed evening.
My half-full flight and the Southwest employee who allowed Walt to have his carseat and his own seat on the plane (no charge).
My incredible kids who were awesome on the flight and slept nearly the entire time.
My sister and her fiancée who picked us up and helped me lug the kids and all our stuff to Grandma's.
Lila's joy at playing with her cousins, most especially Mia, who is just one month older than her.
Visiting with my sisters.
The beach! It was warm and beautiful. And the sound of the waves put Walt to sleep. And the frozen bananas at Balboa afterwards were a perfect end to the day.
Evening walk with grandma and her puppies.
Just being at my grandmas house is always great. My grandma has lived in the same house for 51 years now and it feels like a second home to me.
Seeing familiar faces at church; it's fun to see couples I knew from the singles ward who are now married with children and in my grandma's ward.
Sunday dinner with my sisters, grandma, and their families.
It's been a good week!
