I Love You, California!

It was too hot in Hawai`i to wear her bunny jammies for Easter, but on a chilly morning they were just perfect! Adeline also learned a new trick today!

Our friends Lila and Cody also moved from Hawai`i to California and they got married today! They had a really sweet little ceremony at City Hall and we went out to celebrate afterward. But of course we couldn't go all the way to Napa without doing some wine tasting! We went up earlier in the day to have lunch and visited Starmont Winery (well, the boys did while I fed Addie in the car . . .) and then we went to Etude which might just be my favorite new winery! It was a fun getaway day. I miss Hawai`i so much but I'm also loving all the wonderful things about The Bay, too! Along the Napa River after celebrating the wedding!

Adeline is really becoming a talker!

Adeline of course continues to grow and get stronger every day! Our outdoor lights came today so I got those all set up, too! The girls are really loving being back in California. They can take endless sun baths around the apartment since we get the morning sun on the bedroom side of the apartment and afternoon sun in the living room. And it's not so sweaty hot!

We are officially "moved in" to our new apartment! I say that loosely because we don't actually have any of our things from Hawai`i yet, so we still have a mattress on the floor, patio furniture in the living room, and a basic set of kitchen items. But we are staying here overnight now so it's officially home! We were eager to get the patio set up since there isn't much we can do on the inside. Plus it was such a beautiful day so we made a trip down to the garden center and got planting. Here it is!

I'm so sad that today is Mom's last day. Her help and company has been so wonderful and I wish she could be here when our shipment of household goods arrives, too. For our last day we visited Will at his office and had lunch at the Lake Chalet. It took a while to get Addie settled, but eventually we had a nice lakeside lunch. Thank you Mom for everything! We can't wait for you to come back to visit!

Rather than going to places like Costco and Target, we took the day to stroll along College Ave. Addie got all dressed up for the occasion in her cute outfit from Aunt Janet and Uncle Fred. When we came home that night Adeline really needed a bath, but I was just too tired to deal with a slippery infant. So Grammy to the rescue! They had a fun time taking a bath!
