It's official

We have a walker in the house. Andon has been walking for over a month. For a while he would walk like a bear or revert to crawling. But Mark and I have not seen him do anything but walk for the past 3 days. It's pretty awesome. He's slow at times and a little unsteady, but he gets where he wants to go.

Weddings & Waves

Back in full swing after our few days in San Diego. We went over on 9/8 for Shane (my cousin) and Liz's wedding. It was BEAUTIFUL! The trip over & back wasn't so great. Andon is not happy to be contained so it was torture for him being in the carseat that long. Sierra loved our room. It had a seperate kids "room" with bunk beds. She is lobbying for bunk beds hardcore.

The wedding day was 09-09-09 so we took the kids to Birch Aquarium that morning after a trip to the Childrens Beach in La Jolla to see the seals. Sierra and I had a good time looking at the seals and crabs while Mark sat in the car while Andon slept. She and I got SOAKED by a rogue wave. And I mean soaked. I had an extra shirt for her, but luckily we air dryed fairly quickly. Then I got a look at myself in the photo booth at the aquarium. YIKES! We went back to the hotel after lunch for naps and baths. The wedding was on Coronado & just beautiful.

Thursday we went back to Coronado to look for shells and build sandcastles. Ate lunch, walked around then headed home. I promised Sierra next time we go to SD we will plan on a day just for the beach. She will hold me to that.

Turned a corner

Maybe. I think.

Sierra has been tear free at drop off this week. That's not to say she isn't still pouty. But she is making more friends and that is a great thing. Not only does it make her more comfortable in the mornings, but she is a happier chick in the afternoons. That makes for a happier mama too!
