June California Trip - Part 2

We went to stay at Lo, Vere & Cole's house
in Carlsbad on Sunday. Monday afternoon
I took the girls to meet up with
the UCLA girls at Kelly's house in San Clemente
- it was a packed house!

10995 Roebling Girls + kids

Cole sleeping with pacifier.
I am told that Cole now has a pacifier addiction
from when I was there...
I don't know why I don't have more photos
from this portion of our trip...
let's see and a 4 year old, 17 mo. old and 2 mo. old,
no, we had plenty of free time on our hands...

Maya coming from the dining room,
she would disappear into the other
room and come back with a big
and mischievous smile on her face.

Auntie Lo made pancakes with
Tutu's animal molds -
they just taste better when they
look like wild animals & are made from scratch:)

Cole & Tutu
I thought I'd be nice and not
upload the once where they are both sleeping.

Eating nicely at the table, like big girls.

Sunday night the girls & I drove to Carlsbad to stay with Lo & Cole (Erik was in Vegas with friends celebrating 40th birthdays). It was a great visit and we did a lot of hanging out and loving our little Cole. The excursions that we did make were all in the name of shopping. We managed to make it to Trader Joes, Target and the Carlsbad Outlets. Trader Joe & Target were relatively painless trips and we managed to buy some cute stuff at the outlets. Although there was a moment outside of Banana Republic that Lo & I were looking at each other and wondering what the heck we were doing shopping with this many young kids. Of course, the dress that Kalia immediately wanted was in a specialty store selling flower girl dresses and way out of my price range. She is going to be my expensive child.

Monday afternoon I drove the girls to San Clemente to meet my friends from UCLA and kids. It was really fun, if not slightly chaotic - we have quite a few kids between us all now. Great to see everyone!

Our cousin Bobby & Chelsey came over Tuesday night for dinner and it was great hanging out with them! I was definitely starting to feel a little delirious by that night and wednesday was a catchup day on sleep, since erik was back & I took a nap.

Thursday morning we packed up and headed to Disneyland where we were meeting Tutu, Papa, Auntie Kim, Uncle Tim & Allie.
