California Dreamin'

Yo What's up.

I know I have been the worst ever blogger since big man JC came into the world- No, not Jesus Christ, Jacob Collins. I'm gonna make a real, for-real-this-time effort to be better. Just for you. The one reader who actually still comes by in hopes of a post.

Today might be you picture-lover's favorite day. You see, I took somewhere in the neighborhood of 500 pictures on my phone while I was in Cali visiting my sister and her peeps. And now, I cannot take anymore pictures on my phone due to memory space gigs and mega-whatevers. So I'm dumping. I'm dumping about a quarter of the pictures, right here. Right now.

Enjoy. See ya in an hour.

Boarded- and ready for some California sunshine!

Y'all. He's so round. I love it so much. 

Happy, happy babies

Jacked her pillow. 

Daddy hookin' up the headphones

iPads are amazing. 

Oh, what did Jake do the whole flight? 

That's right. 5 hours. He is my favorite son.

Once we landed, it was fun-times ahead. I just love every little piece of every one of them, and am so sad we don't live closer!!! June, baby. June. 

There was a lot of reading

There was a hair salon

There was a magic show

There was {Cham's first shared} bathtime

There was a recital

There was {lots of} outside play

"Auntie N, teach this girl to share!"

C & W were fast friends

Cheers! 

Lots of football

What on earth are they doing? Well, take a look: 

There was inside play

There was the beach...

"get me out of here!"

sums it up

"This way! This way!!!" 

...away from the beach...

There was Memory Lane...

The Wharf, now a family of 4

The spot where he proposed...

4 years, 2 kids and 30 pounds later.

I'm so glad that we went. I'm so glad they would have us on such short notice in the middle of their crazy month. I'm so glad that we get to see them all again in June. Counting down!!! 

...and in case you were wondering... 

The flight home was just as smooth. This little jet-setter: 

 And our happy boy:

Until Next Time,
