Winter Beach Day


Daycare was closed today for MLK day so I decided to take the day off and take the kids and doggies to Summerland Beach for a few hours. We are so lucky to be able to do this in the middle of winter! Poor Francis, on the other hand, is on a work trip and has to deal with freezing Boston temperatures for the week.

2013 Wrap Up

Apologies to those of you who have been checking this site multiple times a day only to find no updates.  I know you've barely been able to sleep in anticipation of a new post  ;) Work has been so busy and the last thing I want to do at the end of the day is look at my computer!  Good news is that we are all alive and well.  Just really busy.

Here are some pictures we took on the night we went on the Trolley of Lights - it took us around Santa Barbara neighborhoods to see the holiday lights.
I can't stand how cute my little girl is!
Handsome boys
Poor Maddox, I insisted he wear this awesome hat.  But it would just push his eyes shut. 
On the Trolley and excited to go! 
Guess who fell asleep a few minutes after this picture was taken? 
Christmas part 3 was spent with Mimene and Fanfan.  They came down to Santa Barbara for a short, but sweet,  trip.  I had to work during the day so they had a lot of bonding time with Maddox (Zoe was in Winter Camp).


At the Zoo


Zoe loved getting covered by the sand.  I think Maddox wanted to leave her there.






Jagger loves chasing the kids.  He is getting better at not knocking them down  :) 
ONE of these days we will get a picture with all four looking at the camera...hopefully!
Was this the moment grandpa threw out his back? 
Or was it here?






And finally...new years.  This is how glamorous our New Year's Eve celebration was.  I think we were both in bed by 10.  But we're not getting old, right?


We spent New Year's Day at the beach and had a nice dinner at The Boathouse.  We love this place.


I promise I will try to update the blog more often this year!!
