We kept the second half of May almost as busy as the first half. One thing is for sure... We are making the most of living in California!
I just can't help loving how close these 2 girls are. Everywhere we go we are asked if they are twins. So often, in fact, that the girls know that the usual response is, "No, they are 2 years apart," and will often respond themselves. Rather than this bugging them, they have become more inclined to be the twins that they are so often assumed to be. It is the best having their relationship be just as close as their age.
Haircuts for the fam... Dev mentioned that he was going to get a haircut and the girls begged to let them cut their hair short. So we had a family outing to get haircuts, and of course the girls had to get the same cut!
Another day at California's Great America...
Think Quincy liked this one?
We had a week where the temperatures were blazing so we made some good use of our pool during that time!
Addie's Kindergarten had their last field trip. They rode CalTrain up to a park in Palo Alto. I have been grateful that I have had the opportunity to help in her class and attend field trips and activities. It is so great to be able to be a part of the time that she is away from me.
When Addie had a day off of school we headed to the beach (of course). It was a perfect day (except that Devin was at work)!
We also spend lots of time at the parks around here. It is so fun watching how much the girls love being with their dad.
Memorial Day: With everyone having a day off we headed out early and went down to Monterey where we spent most of the day at the Aquarium, walking through Cannery Row, and hanging out on the beach. After we had our fill of Monterey we headed out for the 17 Mile Drive, which takes you along the coast from Monterey down to Pebble Beach. It was gorgeous, and we hope to spend more time down that way.
May passed equally as fast as the rest of the year has. Now we find ourselves in June and just a month away from having a newborn in our home. Nesting has very much set in, and really has made me go a bit overboard (as in I am preparing for the end of the world rather than a new baby!). Pregnancy is definitely taking its toll, but I am hoping to enjoy and do as much as we can throughout this last month before we are homebound for awhile.

Pebble Beach, Monterrey, and the 17 mile drive are some of my favorite places in California! Did it smell like strawberries as you drove along the highway? So beautiful! Glad you are making the most of your time as a family of 4.
