Visitors

A few weeks ago, my nieces flew out from Washington to spend time with us. We had soooooo much fun with them. 

Emma and Grace are both so good with kids and love Avi and Millie like sisters. They were so sweet to play and swing for hours and hours. The girls all loved being together. Here are some of the things we did:

Played piano

Made cookies

Used the treadmill...we know how to show visitors a good time!

They all decorated my house for Halloween

We went to Victoria Gardens

And Farrells for Grace's birthday!

We made a cake for Grace's birthday party

Did lots of cartwheels. All of us. Some of us needed to soak in a tub afterwards.

Crafted

And just hung out.

Thanks, Emma and Grace for coming. We love you and can't wait for you to come back!

Little Learner's Club - Riley's Farms

LLC made our second trip to Riley's Farms and we had a blast!

We picked apples, explored, had a picnic lunch and took home fresh apple pies!!!

Little Brian

Oh this girl is so much like her Daddy....good thing I kind of like him too.

Santa Barbara!!

Santa Barbara is mine and Brian's favorite place to go. We love walking around the cute streets and shops, eating at amazing restaurants and just relaxing by the beach. We were blessed to be able to go for a couple days recently and our good friends came too. One of Brian's very generous friends let us fly his plane up there so it took us only 45 minutes!!

Brian got to fly some of the way!

We spent our time relaxing, eating, looking at shops, going to the movies and sitting on the beach. It was a great trip!

October Treasure Box

Well, better late than never on this one. A month ago, the girls opened their October treasure box.

Avi immediately tried on her glow-in-the-dark butterfly glasses:

Happy October!

One shoe Millie

Millie has entered a new phase. She loves wearing shoes but only one at a time, always on her right foot and always shoes that are too big. She keeps herself entertained for quite awhile each day while making her selection and I have shoes all over the house!
