April Fun

Last weekend we said goodbye to David's parents as they headed to Indiana permanently. Their house is in escrow and they're settling into their new church and Doug's new job as an executive pastor. We wanted to do a special outing with them before they headed out, so we took a glass-bottom boat tour out of King's Harbor. We had a fun time even though it was a pretty cold day. Here are some pictures from our adventure... all bundled up:

We saw some Garibaldi and watched them feed the fish.

Also, two weeks ago, David and I went to La Costa for a weekend getaway (finally using David's class gift from last year) while my parents watched Abigail. We had a wonderful time and enjoyed the updated grounds at the beautiful resort including the infinity pool and spas that overlooked the golf course and some pretty awesome fireplaces.

Spring Break and Easter Weekend

David had spring break last week, so we were able to enjoy some extra time together as a family. We mostly hung around town, but we took one special trip up to the Skirball museum near the Getty for their kid-friendly Noah's Ark exhibit. It was very well done and Abigail had a blast exploring the different animals and rooms of the huge ark.

We even had a small celebrity sighting... Toby from the office. We enjoyed the exhibit right alongside of him (he's in the green shirt in the background).

Our good friends the Mizells were also in town this week/weekend so we spent parts of several days with their family. We babysat their 3 kids ( two boys and a girl) on Thursday while they went to a wedding. It was a little chaotic with 4 kids in our small apartment... here's the aftermath in our living room before we cleaned up...

David tried to entertain the kids with some racing video games at the end...

Little friends!

We enjoyed a beautiful weekend as we celebrated our Lord's Resurrection. We loved having some extra time to spend with both of our families (minus David's dad) and it was fun to watch Abigail in her first egg hunt (the Mizell kids joined us too). She got so excited about each egg that she had to open it as soon as she picked it up to examine/eat the contents (cheddar bunnies or stickers). Her grandmas both spoiled her with Easter baskets full of clothes and toys including a stuffed Elmo and a stuffed Big Bird. She's one lucky girl!


Happy Easter Everyone!
