A Sailing Adventure

We got to take everyone out for a sail one afternoon, although we had pretty cold, grey weather. We had our usual Prudence luck, though, and saw a bunch of dolphins, which was exciting for the kids (well, probably for all of us)--we even saw a couple of baby dolphins! Unsurprisingly, Parker and Josie both eventually fell asleep! All of the kids were great little sailors, Chiara included--she was so sweet and mellow the whole time.

San Diego Botanic Gardens

We had so much fun playing in the childrens' gardens at Quail (I'm going to be hard pressed to remember to call it by its new name, "San Diego Botanic Gardens"!). We brought lunch and spent hours playing in both the Seeds of Wonder garden and the Hamilton Children's Garden. They are both such awesome places for kids, and Parker and Josie (and even Levi, too!) seemed to be endlessly entertained and had a great time exploring and playing together. Levi climbed right up his first flight of stairs--that boy sure is a climber.

The Morks Come to Visit!

Levi with Chiara, about three 1/2 months old

Levi and Chiara are only about six months apart!

Josie loved the swing! She and Parker are only about 7 months apart.

Such a fun, happy girl. She loved spinning on the swing.

Em and Chiara

We were so happy to have the Mork Family come visit us for a few days during their San Diego vacation last month! We don't get to see them very often, and they are some of our best friends. Our kids are all pretty close in age, and it was especially fun this time to see how well Parker and Josie hit it off now that they are older--they played together like they were the best of friends, it was so sweet. Now it is Levi and Chiara's turn to buddy up :) We wish we could see you guys all the time--once a year just is NOT enough! Love and miss you.
