Yosemite 2009!

The summer season would not have been complete without a camping trip to Yosemite. Scott, Finn, Eli, my dad and I spent three nights in the valley exploring, hiking, biking, swimming (or jumping into a freezing cold river and immediately getting out to thaw in the warm sun), s'more-ing, and, for some - rock-eating. ;) It was a fabulous, but very, very dirty trip.

Last First Day of Preschool

What a difference a year makes. Finn's funny face from last year's first day of preschool...

...and this year's first day. :)

(Note the lack of control his mom has over his outfit this year.)

Catching Up

I've been a bit of a slacker on the blog business. I guess that's how you know you're having a fun, busy life - you don't have time to blog about it. :) Enjoy these shots from our summer adventures.

On our road trip to San Diego/Comic Con, we stopped for a fabulous visit and boat ride compliments of the wonderful Duarte family.

Eli likes to play it safe.


While Scott worked at Comic Con, the boys and I enjoyed SeaWorld for a day. Finn got a kick out of feeding the sea lions little fish - Gross!


In August, my sister, Katie, and I took the kids on a little trip to the wine country. The kids had a great time while Katie and I actually had a chance to catch up and have a glass of wine together. :)



The rest of the summer was filled with "couch houses", plastic pools and lots of brotherly love.
