California

We had such a great time visiting Shaun and Melisa and their 2 kids this week. I will say, going anywhere with the 7 of us is way more complicated than when it was the 4 of us! We all kept remembering things we did when it was just us, things we couldn't possibly do now with the kids. But I don't think any of us missed it that much. Having the kids is just so much better! Harper and Braelyn are finally getting old enough to start interacting with each other. They even gave each other hugs and kisses at random, which I regret to mention that I failed to get on camera. And sweet baby Brennan is such a good baby, and so cute, too. We went down to the Huntington Beach Pier and ate at Ruby's, a little tradition we have. Here's Harper and her daddy walking down the pier. 

Harper is starting to walk holding onto just one of our hands now. She would do it before, but it scared her and she would cry. Now she's gaining the confidence she needs, and she's getting much closer to her first independent steps. More California pics to come.
