Reese's birthday was so much fun. We had such a great party with her friends, reading and watching Cinderella together, eating princess cake and dressing up like princesses! She loved her little baby doll bed and makes sure her baby is tucked in every night.

Just two days ago the weather was so beautiful - in the 80's first thing in the morning! So, before it climbed any higher, I put the the kids in the car and we went over to the park. They loved running in the green grass and looking at the animals in the zoo section. I loved the freedom of driving around. Having the weather cool down a bit here changes things so much. Everyone has more energy and we have been enjoying taking walks in the evenings and visiting friends. I've been driving around, getting more comfortable with the crazy traffic and getting to know the roads a bit better.

Tonight we went out to the beach with some friends. We had a small picnic together and celebrated one of of our Swedish friend's birthday! We are all 27 this year! Finally we are not the youngest couple around!
