Catching up

Stopping by the beach is a theme in our life now and I couldn't love it more.

After a busy day, we went out to dinner and stopped by to watch the sunset.  I just have to say how much I love this picture of my kids but hate how giant my hoodie makes me look...but that's not what's in important.

I also love that eating outside is a regular occurrence.  Especially Colin will take his breakfast out to the patio to eat.

We found the library!  We pulled up and the boys said, "THIS is our library?!?!"

They have an entire manga section and have regular teen anime events, which made Eli very happy.

The library is right in the downtown area so we walked around afterwards and found the 'Top Gun' house.  

We have some really nice neighbors!  Neighbors on both sides of us have come over to say hello, have brought us food and have said they are here if we need anything (they put 2 and 2 together that I am here by myself for the time being).  It's been so long since we've had friendliness like this, I just had to document it:

One Friday night, we went to get tacos and stopped by the beach.  There was a skateboarding competition that we watched for awhile and then tried to snap some pictures.

Colin refused to have his picture taken, but we still love him!

We are still missing a lamp (but have the shade) and coffee grinder.  The packers put things in such weird places that I had to go through ALL of our garage stuff.  Not a job I really wanted to tackle.  However, it made me go through a giant tub we had of old bedding that clearly needed to be cleared out.  You know you've moved too many times when this is in your garage: Alison's bedding from Virginia, Arizona, Camarillo and New York.
