Thanksgiving

Warning: Lots of pictures!

We went to Escondido and San Diego to visit Erik's mama for Thanksgiving. We spent several days at a resort in Escondido (where we did the holiday) and then went back to Nana's house (pictures are totally out of order...).


One morning we let Nana sleep in while we went to breakfast...



This was across the street...wow.






One evening we went to the pier







Can you believe this park?!?!














And the resort in Escondido...ahhhhh... These are views from Erik's golf game.



















This was by our room




The view from our porch...what more could you want?




Except for maybe a new doll!




Gathering for the holiday - Erik's grandma (on the right)



And Grandpa (and Stella's Nana :)



Everyone's hungry



















The chef (Kim, Nana's husband)!




Nursing by the outdoor fireplace after a long day

































Time to go to Nana's real house









Nana and Grandpa Kim watched Stella while we went on a date...



Beautiful gardens on a high cliff over the ocean



Beer and fish 'n' chips on the beach



A much needed date!








Stella was literally an angel while we were gone.








Mama even got to shop while Nana and Stella played...




The best shopping trip she's ever been on, and a most memorable Thanksgiving!

Visit with Nana

How do people do it? My friends with two-plus kids manage to post pictures to their blogs somewhat regularly, but needless to say...I have struggled. When I have a rare free moment to myself, I rarely think of my blog as a priority when I am surrounded by disgusted dishes, or produce that somehow needs to be made into dinner, or bits and pieces of god know what on the floor. But I will keep trying.

I started the rest of this post in early November after Nana's (Erik's mom) wonderful visit. I never finished it but here it is anyway!

Regaining Access

Our main computer with all of our videos and photos died sometime back, so I haven't been able to access pictures in a long while. But Erik's getting things set up with the new computer he put together, though I still have to wait on video... Just wanted to share a couple of photos to show how my Little One is shaping up.











More soon!
