Life this week

Best $10 we've spent yet! She cooks and bakes for hours.
My husband!

On Tuesday nights, our apartment complex has a community type meal. We really love where we've landed and the people here are great!

A Day in the Mountains

Last Sunday, Bill's sister Tifiny volunteered to keep Olivia overnight for us and we gladly accepted. We got a lot of unpacking done, and Olivia was able to see her Pops a little more. We met them in Idylwild on Monday for lunch and then we just hung out around town and a nearby park.

We bought cherry cola by Sprecher at the toy store. Of course we shared with Olivia.

We found a cold mountain stream and the girls really liked playing in it!

Papa

My Dad drove the Penske truck from WI to CA with Bill last week. He also unloaded, unboxed, put furniture together, cleaned, and hurt his back. We thought we'd at least take him to the beach for an hour while he was here:) Unfortunately, it ended up being cold (60s and windy) and not so pretty. Dad, next time you come, we'll take you to a nicer beach.
We're ready!

It was too cold for me to get in, so here are the brave ones building and playing in the sand.

Two things about this picture: the huge wave that knocked my dad over, and the classy oil rig in the background.

Big Girl Bed

We've made the jump and Olivia is officially sleeping in a big bed. It has been 3 nights of "success" and we're excited she can finally stretch out in a bed.
It's hard to see, but she's very excited and happy.

Not quite complete, but here are the rest of her belongings.
