Feeling Beachy

As has become a tradition, Pepe and Nonna once again rented a place over in Avila for a month this Winter. We blocked the condo off for the same time period and committed to traveling over as many weekends as we could and hopefully being able to be there the entire last week of the vacation. The first weekend Grandma and Grandpa were able to join us as well. It was great spending time together especially after Grandma had missed all of the Christmas festivities the month prior. We also have a guy from Chile that is doing a part-time internship with us right now and he came over for one of the nights, so it was fun for everyone to get to know him a bit better. A couple of things were established this first weekend that seemed to recur through the rest of our visits . . . Kieran passing out in the middle of a room whenever he was too tired to hang any longer, Jon being Zach's favorite, beach time - specifically football keep away, and lots and lots of games.

 

January 2018 Recap

January was very busy with lots of work for me, lots of Daddy Daycare for Jon, and heading to the Central Coast as often as possible (separate posts forthcoming). At the beginning of the month the boys begged for a slumber party. It took them forever to fall asleep but it was adorable to hear the chatting that was happening and also to see them passed out when I finally heard it go quiet.

C was a sweetheart and watched Kieran for the morning a few weeks ago. K had a great time and the pictures of him and Lyla together are of course adorable.

At the end of the month the boys came along with me and Jon for a tour of the new cancer center that is being built in Clovis. Pepe and Nonna have been donors to the hospital and we went on the tour on their behalf. The building was pretty incredible and hearing about the technology and client focused care they are planning on was really inspiring. Most of the tour was lost on the boys but they were pretty pumped over the hard hats and safety vests they were allowed to take home.
