It's been about a week ago that the story I'm about to share occurred. Why, one may wonder did it take me so long to share this story? Because I don't get enough hands free time when I'm home in the evenings to do much blogging. I have a five month-old after all!
Well, here is the brag: My five month old managed to get from her tummy to sitting all by her little onesie last Wednesday! She's so rad! The disclaimer: It was totally an accident and I'm sure it will be quite some time before the feat is repeated. All the factors in the universe of our living room just happened to line up at that point in time: She was on her tummy, she was scooting backwards like she tends to do, she found just enough resistance from my foot or from grabbing the rug between her toes, and ba-da-bing ba-da-boom! She was sitting up. Without any real assistance from me.
Finally, someone did mention to me the other day that my blog doesn't change often. This is true. I don't deny it. However, as mentioned before I have a five-month-old. And blogging takes too long with one hand. At any given time I usually have four or five blogs I intend to post sloshing around in my head. Sometimes they just spill out of my head before I find a chance to blog them. What can a mommy do?

Baby's first trip to the beach.
A week ago we had the opportunity to take a much needed weekend vacation to beautiful San Diego. It was so fabulous! Here is a quick run-down of each day of our weekend and then I'll post a few of the many great pictures we took. This will probably be a photo heavy post!
Thursday - We left for San Diego and made it as far as Yuma before we were falling asleep, so we crashed at Tim's sister's house for the night.
Friday - We woke up and drove the rest of the way to San Diego. Spent a brief amount of time at Balboa Park where we met up with Tim's sister and her family, then drove to the condo where we were staying in La Jolla and took an evening stroll on the beach down to the pier.
Saturday - We slept in and didn't make it to the Temple which was covered in scaffolding and apparenlty the atrium was covered over so you couldn't see it anyway. Poor brides having their wedding photos that day! We spent the afternoon at the beach. So fun! Ate Greek food for dinner - YUM! Then we took a walk down San Diego Bay to see the big ships. To finish the evening we went back to the condo and watched "Fantastic Mr. Fox" (or something like that) which was super-funny and I highly recommend it. What the cuss?
Sunday - Church in the morning, then off to Balboa Park for the afternoon, where we attended a few minutes of the free organ recital at one of the largest outdoor organs in the world, the we swung on a tree-vine like monkeys and took a stroll through the conservatory. In the evening we drove to the "Children's Beach" which has been taken over by seals.
Monday - We woke up, cleaned the condo like mad and drove home. Along the way Tim and I both commented on how therapeutic the weekend was for us. We wouldn't mind moving to San Diego if it didn't come with such a hefty price sticker!
