Just a quick hello! We are having a wonderful "stay-cation" just enjoying togetherness. Bean has been working a 2nd job for a year now. Once you factor in church events, family celebrations and managing life the rest of the time--it doesn't make for a lot of family time.
We've visited an aquarium, spent time at Sea World, gone to the pool a few times and just hung out! Much needed. Bean has to go back to his 2nd job tomorrow evening, but we still have a few days of togetherness.
Hope your family is enjoying time together as well this summer.

Kidless Weekend
We had, what I am pretty sure was, our first kidless weekend since being parents of 2. We've both been away at various times, but one was always home with the kids. For the past 16 months, even when I left overnight, I brought the baby with me.
It was SO nice to be able to sit around and just do whatever we wanted! Bean and I took a group of college/young adult students to Big Bear this weekend. We rented this fabulous huge log house and just hung out all weekend. There were lots of stairs and balconies, so we'd have been chasing Gracie all around without a doubt. They played the wii a lot, which Miss Rose would have wanted in on, and whined until she got a turn.
The girls had a blast with their grandmas. They went to the Wild Animal Park with my mom and Chuck E Cheese with Bean's mom. I was expecting Gracie to be pretty clingy after we picked them up, but she wasn't bad at all. It's nice that they are close to the grandmas, so they feel very secure being with them.
Now we have begun our "staycation." No work! Just hanging out at home and around San Diego. I have lots of plans for organization and purging as well. We've lived in our house almost a year, and Gracie has outgrown a lot of "baby" stuff, so it's time to pack it away for a bit. Lots of other stuff has accumulated as well. My sister just left for her new home in Long Beach a few minutes ago, so we'll also be moving Miss Rose to her own room.
Here's to family time!!
