"The smile on your face - lets me know that you need me..."

We've been super busy lately, so I have been slow in posting. We officially bought our new house today and now the work of renovation begins. We have found some babysitters and RKZ and I have been out alone twice now! And, we are settling more and more into our Southern California lives. Not too much crazy has happened - but what has happened has been great. 

Buck, Thunder and I have been spending some time in the various playgrounds each day. I love this local park that has a grove of citrus (I'm assuming orange) trees. The park is big and open and very fun for the boys. This picture cracks me up. I especially love the saying on Thunder's shirt: "I tried to be good but I got bored." Sums up our little guy. 

On Sunday, twin cousins of ours turned 11 in a "fiesta" themed party. There was a pinata and a tres leches cake (cake is soaked in 3 milks and there are no eggs used). My boys both adored the pinata. I'm guessing we won't get away without them now at parties. This picture is myself and my beautiful aunt, K. She looks lovely, but I look a bit scraggly. I am 32 weeks pregnant now. Glad the baby has stayed in but ready to meet him face to face. 

STILL amazed at the warm weather - even in the rain!
