The traveling family

I had a photography session in Santa Cruz this afternoon and the whole family decided to tag along. It was beautiful at the beach! Just stunning; sunny, warm and beautiful!
We stayed and watched the ocean gobble up the sun, it was great.
Then we hit whole foods for some yummy post thanksgiving health food!
Thanks for coming along hunny, what a great evening.

Picchetti Winery

We went to Picchetti winery today for a tasting and lunch with Uncle Eric, Melissa and Grammy Jan. It was fun and Linden got to look around for the wild peacocks she loved the last time we were there.



As you can see it was really sunny! I forgot my camera, oops! We had lunch and enjoyed a bottle of procceco, it was lovely!

Thatcher is 4 months this week!

Wow- how time flies when there's a baby around- I cannot believe that Thatcher is allready 4 months old! I am feeling like it is just flying by and everyone stops me to say that "it goes by so much faster with the second one" and boy, are they right!
This little guys smiles all the time and is happy 99% of the time. He's sleeping from 7pm to 6am; straight! He's tipping the scales at 17+ pounds, he's probably gained a few ounces since writting this post....
:)
We're looking forward to seeing Grammy Jan and Uncle Eric this week for Thanksgiving.
We'll sure have lots of pics for you then!

Finding his thumb.... It's a wonderful thing to say goodbye to the pacifier!


His shirt says " mommy thinks I am cool" and I certainly do!




We have a tree service trimming our giant willow in the yard today, she's going to be very happy after her "tree haircut"! That's a long way to fall, hope they are carefull!

Steve and Cinderella!

We had so much fun at a friends block party in the neighborhood. Tira and Billy came with Eva and we hung out with our great friends and neighbors- I LOVE WHERE WE LIVE!
It's been so much fun the past few months in our neighborhood, I feel so lucky to live in a great family community and we have the BEST friends from here- really cool people! We trick or treated all the way through the neighborhood and had a great time. Linden was going up to all the doors- by herself! She was so excited- she would scream back to us what she got at each door; "I got a butterfinger, Mommy!"
It was really fun and I can't wait till Thatcher's going to be running around next year! He was such a good sport. Happy Halloween!

color!
