Cousin Katy, my Auntie Annie (Yaya) and Katy’s kids came and spent the night! The boys had a blast sleeping in a tent out back, swimming in the pool, and playing Minecraft. Little ‘M’ loved playing in the water, and baby ‘M’ has already mastered being adorable. It was a sweet visit for all.

I was registered to run the Avenue of the Giants half marathon. However, I had been dealing with vertigo. The back to back road trip to WA/OR, then a couple days home, then headed back out again, made me suffer. By the time I got to Eureka, I was so exhausted from trying to keep […]

One of our happy places. It had been many years and we were excited to return to the place where we honeymooned and share it with our boys. They were too young to remember our other visits with them. We stayed at The Ocean Lodge, a fantastic property, located right on the beach. They spoiled […]
