November in Santa Cruz

We were able to squeeze in a quick trip to Santa Cruz in early November to see Grandma R, Auntie Nay Nay, and Uncle Tom. A day at the beach was significant in that it was nearly two hours of independent play while JR and I got to catch up with Uncle Tom. So thrilled to be at a stage where C & L aren't eating sand and whatever other beach debris they come across, aren't running into the water (helped that we weren't too close), and aren't running into traffic.

And of course, no trip to Santa Cruz would be complete without a walk along West Cliff (and the Chardonnay sailing above Grandma's head!).

Blog Updates...

I'm trying. Really, I am!

I admit I've been AWOL for awhile, but I'm back (sort of) and am trying to update the blog but the darn thing won't connect with my computer to allow me to access photos. LAME!

All is good. We visited New Orleans and the Florida Gulf Coast for Thanksgiving and both were lovely. We did the Boise/Santa Cruz/St. Louis loop for Christmas and New Years which was less lovely. It was great in that we had the opportunity to catch up with both sides of the family but rough in that 2 of the 4 of us were ill for most of the trip and there was A LOT of rain! I could handle being sick if I got to walk in the sand in the warmth of the sun. No luck this time around.

Cate and Lela are super fun and funny and challenging... I would say they're right on target for the upcoming two's.

No travel plans on the horizon for now... our next long weekend will likely be dedicated to potty training. Wish us luck!

For now, I'll attempt to figure out the photo posting hang-up and hope that you'll hang in their with me while I work it out.

hope you are all well!!
