UPDATE TIME

california adventure. it was raining and charlie had to stay in the stroller pretty much all day. so no family pic. boo.

I finally have news to report! Hooray.

1. Danny has officially taken a job! And it is here in So. Cal. Just off the 5 at J. Serra. So we are going to be real residents!! We are busy trying to decide what to do about the housing issue (they may be down, but prices are still sky high in my book). But we are still so excited to call the O.C. home again. Now we just need to work on our tans!

2. Charlie is 3 months old now!!!! I cannot believe how fast it has gone by. I feel like I just left the hospital with him. He is such a sweetie. He loves to smile and whenever he does his whole face smiles. It is sooo cute. I have yet to capture it on film. Still trying though. He has recently discovered his hands and loves to suck on his fists. Yummy. He is as round as he is tall and so squeezable. He lights up whenever he sees Eden. It melts my heart to see them together.

3. Eden is 31 months. That is a lot of months! She is little miss opinionated. I love to hear the crazy stuff she comes up with. The other day she was talking to the cashier at Old Navy and introduced me to the cashier as "This is Daddy's wife, my mommy." Hilarious. Two days ago she told me "my little body needs a resty time. go get me a milky d." (for those not in the know, a milky d is a drink of milk. d was her word for drink when she was like 15 months and it just kinda stuck.) She still loves stories, play dough, dolly, silky, and binky (although we are trying to rid her of the binky.) Her potty training is going pretty great. She still has at least two accidents a day, but she is doing so much better.

4. I have nothing noteworthy in my own personal life because I am pretty sure I don't even have one. But I don't really miss it with so much entertainment coming from my two kiddos. What on earth would I be doing if I weren't Mommy?? I don't even want to think about it.

All in all---good things, happy faces, sunshine and waves.
