Saying Goodbye...Daddy is underway! Let the countdown begin!

Good bye Dadddy!!!! We'll miss you!! Come home soon!!!

Wild Animal Park

Grandma and Grandpa Arnold joined us at the Wild Animal Park! Great pic with the leery (i think that is what this bird was called?).



Watching the meerkats eat.

Sitting with Grandma on the Animal Safari tour.

Langley kept peeking down the aisle to see mom and dad!

Favorite Things that keep us busy!

Langley is spending lots of time in her on-the-go highchair. I never knew it would be so useful and also entertain for long periods of time! This keeps her very busy while I am making her meals. She loves trying to buckle herself in.

Langley loves to cart around her back pack! She got this for her birthday and it has been one of her favorites.

I was giving Langley some Tylenol one day, and Langley was so desperate to hold onto the dropper. It was all gone, so I decided to rinse it out and let it enertain her for awhile. Probably not a good parenting move...to let her think she can play with medicine! Too late now. :) So she LOVES this! It was a great challenge for her to get the dropper in the small opening and became quite frustrated when it wasn't working out for her. But soon enough she got the hang of it.

We spend lots of time making tea!

And riding our horse...

Hanging at the Park

Birthday fun at the Sprinkler Park

Langley had lots of fun at Amani's 2nd birthday party! Amani couldn't give enough hugs to Langley. :)

Langley had fun roaming the sprinkler park!

She wasn't so sure about all the splashing water! These fountains were pretty powerful!

Goodtimes with our company!!

Last week our friends Tracey and Chuan came to visit from Norfolk, Va. They are good friends from the military. Chuan and Greg went to flight school together. And they were in San Diego when we lived here before and also lived in Pensacola when we were there. It was so much fun having them stay for a week!! We got to meet baby Kate who is almost 6 months old now. Langley loved having her as a buddy! Our good friends Hugh and Eileen also spent a lot of time with us. They have baby Seamus who is 4 months old.

Three beautiful, tired mom's and baby's!!! (and hot--it has been in the 90's here!!)


Poor Seamus did not want to take a picture with the girly girls!



Hit the beach to cool off!!

Playing in the sand with Kate!

Boy the times have changed!! Zoo day with the gang!

Daddy was so happy to take Langley to the zoo before he goes on deployment soon!

Rest and relaxation!! We got a babysitter one night to watch all three babies! We enjoyed the sunset as we walked to downtown Ocean Beach.

Brought back lots of fun memories getting fish tacos at our old stomping ground! Still good friends after all these years....and the fish tacos are still the BEST!!
