Memorial Day Weekend

By -
We drove down to LA for Memorial Day, and stayed at my mom's new apartment. Leah slept for most of the drive.


Since we got in late, we had a slow morning and took our precious time getting ready for the day. We drove around, relaxed around Lake Balboa, and ran into my cousin David at Starbucks. I love that every time I come home, I run into somebody while we're out and about. It just reminds me how many people I know and love in the valley. :)

On our first evening there, we had dinner with a few of my high school friends to catch up. Love those girls! Itchy and Mayra couldn't make it (tear), but we had a blast with Evelyn, Mona, and Stephanie. Luckily, Leah was great and slept almost the entire time. By the end of the night, Leah was definitely done.


It was a pretty short trip, but it was great to see everybody. Before we headed back, Cheryl treated us to breakfast at Marie Callendar's. Yum...good stuff.


I think Andrew's favorite part of the trip was the drive back. We took the Pacific Coast Highway and it's gorgeous! We stopped along the route and walked a few hundred feet to see this cool waterfall. We also stopped to take a few pictures of the ocean. I love the fog! It's so pretty.

    I love seeing pictures of you guys, but especially Leah.

    A few days ago I commented on something and it didn't show up. Oh, well. I think I said something about the fact that a newborn's skin has a fragile/translucent look, but that Leah now appears to have moved to the soft-baby-skin look. :^)

Our Little Monkey

We call Leah our little monkey because she does the Mowgli crawl: She's obsessed with the dishwasher, and today she learned a new trick (sorry about the tall video—we're still learning): So in addition to worrying about the monkey crawling around, we now have to worry about her climbing up, too.

End of February

How can today be the last day of February already?  It still feels like the year just started. Andrew had his birthday. Yay for getting older! Life can only get better, right? We have a tradition of getting together with Ken and Jen (my old roommate and her man) to eat at Tucanos. Tucanos has a "Birthday Club," which means that if you sign up, they'll send you a paper for a free meal. It's on the pricier side to eat there, so I'm a fan of the "Birthday Club." We started this tradition back when we were dating because Andrew and Ken both have birthdays in February. We met up with Ken, Jen, Tyler, and Linda for our annual February Tacanos dinner on Friday night. Leah was really tired, so we didn't do anything afterward. We had scheduled it for two weeks earlier, but I ended up feeling really sick the night before and didn't get much sleep. I was not in the mood to eat anything, so we postponed. It was fun when it finally happened though. :) On hi...

Writing

I thought I should share a few pictures on the ol' blog. A special thanks to pinterest for the brilliant idea of putting papers in sheet protectors for kids to trace. Leah has already dried out one expo marker since this morning. I'm going to need to limit how much she can play with it. I didn't want her to just scribble everywhere like she does with coloring books. So this morning I sat down and started tracing letters myself. She's a jealous soul when I don't invite her to play with me. It worked like a charm.
