San Diego

We tagged along as Nick moved back to Point Loma last weekend. We had a fun trip visiting Grandma & Gale (and being treated to dinner at Ruth's Chris, Nick's favorite restaurant!), going to Coronado Island & gawking at the view from Nick's dorm....

Beach baby and a visit with Sophia & Noah

"Put me down, I want to play in the waves!"



"Look at those waves Mom!"




Quinn giving Sophia a kiss on the cheek.


Loaded in the car on the way to the beach.


We got to visit my dear friend, Francesca, and spend some time with her two little kiddos, Sophia and Noah last week. Quinn loved looking up at Sophia and playing with Noah (2 weeks older than Q). Quinn also went to the beach for the first time...she loved playing in the crashing waves!

FINALLY!!! Uncle Aaron & Auntie Jen

Aaron and Jen were in from Maui for a quick visit the last couple days....we LOVED spending time with them and it was great for them to finally meet Quinn!

Saturday at Coot Lake

Baby kisses

Quinn loves her "American Girl" babydoll! I think the concept of American Girl dolls is that they look just like you - well, this doll looks a lot like Quinn with that bald head! I took it out of the box for the first time the other day and she was so excited....she kissed it over and over again without any prompting. Here she is again, still loving this baby!

Exploring the house

Jackson Hole

We had a great trip to Jackson Hole & Yellowstone last week to visit Rob! Quinn did pretty well on her first road trip, she was a trooper. Would you believe the one thing we didn't get a picture of was the bear that crossed the creek right outside our condo! We read in the newspaper the next day that he wandered through town and was eventually captured. Pretty cool to see! Here are a few highlights - a complete re-cap is in the slideshow below if you're interested!
