Well, I haven't been writing for the past bit! I have taken the stance that if you don't have anything to say nice. . . . lol. Too much drama in my life with my older girls. I love them to death but dang I will be happy to have our house back to just Charley and I and my little one. It is just too hard to combine so many adults with their own way of doing things and their own needs and desires into one small house. The lack of privacy also puts such a strain on our relationship too.

Anyways, that is not what I am here to talk about today :)

Instead, we had a WONDERFUL three-day weekend. I loved it!

Charley and I both had Friday off so we started our weekend a little early. We decided to go for a bike ride around Mission Bay.

Here is daddy getting Z into the bike seat-- a modified bike trailer with his car seat

and we are off

On our bike ride we stopped at Barefoot Bar and Grill, Z was playing on the seat and pulled himself up onto his hands and knees for the FIRST time! (that we know of)

That night, we had to go do some laundry at the laundromat to wash a sleeping bag for Uncle Drew so we stopped at Lorna's for dinner while we waited. Z sipped water from a real cup for the first time.

Then, on the fourth of July, we went to Corona to my brother's group home for their celebration. Z got to walk in his first parade with mommy.

Then Sunday we went hiking at Torrey Pines State Park (which I did not get pictures of) and had peel and eat shrimp and lobster bisque at one of my FAVORITE places. After lunch, Z got to play in the sand for the first time!

So that was our weekend, I am sad its Monday and back to the grind. Oh well, only five more days until the next weekend!
