Road tripping....again!

This time we headed down to Arizona, for Josh's cousin Peter's wedding.

 

We thought it would be warm, boy were we wrong! Not that we've gone soft living out here, because 46 isn't that cold, but it was rainy and the wedding was outside and we were in Arizona!

 

Congrats to the happy couple Peter and Jaimie!

 

The slight chill did not effect the girls at all.

 

Drinking from a fancy glass!

 

The girls had SO MUCH FUN dancing!

 

All in all it was a beautiful wedding weekend!

'Tis the Season!

 

If you stare at this long enough it makes your eyes do funny things. Trust me I did.

 

Our sweet girls reading Christmas stories to one another!

 

Maggie LOVES to play piano and could she look any older in this picture? So not a baby. Boo hoo!

 

This is where the ornaments should go, right?

 

Gretta liked putting things up high so "Maggie can't eat 'em"

As for the sorry state of Maggie's shirt, that would be drool people. 

 

Gingerbread house! Not only was this Gretta's first time, believe it or not, I had never made one either!

 

Looks just like the picture on the box.

 

YAY for Christmastime!

Thankful

I am thankful. That's what THANKSgiving day is all about... not to mention the turkey, mashed potatoes, pumpkin pie, football, parades......but mostly it's about being thankful! I am thankful for a wonderful husband who works hard for all of us and thankful that I am able to stay home with my girls and watch them grow and learn and be. It might not be sunshine, rainbows and unicorns all the time, but most days are pretty darn great. We are thankful for our friends and family who we miss lots and lots! We are thankful that Josh's last chemo treatment is next week! He'll undergo radiation after the holidays and we are hopeful he gets a clean bill of health soon, we seem to be in the home stretch as far as treatment goes though!  There are really so many things to be thankful for every day we can't even begin to list them all, which is really a lucky thing!

YAY for Thanksgiving!

This has become my new favorite photo spot if you couldn't tell....lighting is GREAT!

On the phone with Grandma and Grandpa

I know this is being posted the day after Thanksgiving, but we hope you all had a wonderful day and enjoy the rest of your weekend!

Who knew?!

 

This is the view coming down our street......who knew that we'd have fall here?? It makes me so happy to know that I won't have to miss my favorite season. Bonus, this year we've gotten almost 3 months of beautifulness because as soon as we got here fall started!

 

And here's downtown Danville.

 

We went to the farmer's market again this weekend and enjoyed the colors, warm sunshine and fresh veggies and fruit!

 
Got some makings for squash soup...

 

Then we headed to the park for some fun time 

 

 

 

 

 

 

All I can say is, California's fall is impressing me!

Muir Woods and settling

 

So, most of the boxes are unpacked and we're settling in a little!

 

Made a trip to the farmer's market for some strawberries and asian pears, YUM.

 

We've been checking out the sites around here as well

 

 

 

 

The redwoods in the park, the tallest living things in the world

First fire in the new house!
