Our favorite thing to do...

Sea Lions!!

The girls love going down to the Coast Guard Pier to check out the Sea Lions. They are EVERYWHERE! They lay along the rocks & enjoy the warm sun. They are constantly barking at one another and making all sorts of noise.
This little guy looks cute and friendly, but would bark at anyone who came close - scared Hannah Kate away! It was moving all around and barking that she thought it was going to jump up on the pier with her:)

Kaitlyn, Caroline & Madison check out the Sea Lion

Our babysitter turned family member in Las Vegas came to visit us for the week. We had a lot of fun w/Kaitlyn here and sure do miss the extra hands! Hopefully we showed her enough of the great things in CA that she'll come back again soon!!!

Start of the school year!

Girls off to their 1st day of school!

Well, we're starting our THIRD week of school and I'm finally getting around to putting pictures up! It has been a busy couple of weeks getting into our routine, but the girls are enjoying school. Hannah Kate misses her old friends, but is adjusting and has a lot of friends here in the neighborhood that keep them both plenty busy.

Off to KINDERGARTEN! Hard to believe my Madison started kindergarten! She LOVES it and has a very sweet teacher. She turned FIVE last week - time passes too quickly! She turned five, Grayson turned five months and popped out TWO bottom teeth! Everyone is growing up.

We need to leave the house by 7:45 to get to school for the 8:00 bell... a little earlier than last year, but we're making it. Can't say Caroline & Grayson are dressed then too, but that's OK. The girls are use to getting to school and love walking by themselves... Hannah Kate is a great sister and walks Madison to her class & then goes on to her class.
