Every Sunday night, I’ll do a weekly update of life because it’s too hard to keep up otherwise.
This was a week of family bonding. Over last weekend, we took advantage of not having any kid’s activities to head south. We hit up Costanoa (we love this place) for elephant seals, s’mores, and some camping. The kids got to take their scooters out, and they loved it. Elephant seals are huge, and the babies handled the hike really well. My back not so much 🙂
For New Year’s Eve, we got together with Christian and family. We hiked Tennessee Beach and had a blast. Amelia really became fond of Astrid to the point where leaving turned into a flood of tears. Amelia worries me in that she connects so deeply with people so quickly. I think it’s a wonderful thing, but gosh do I know the downside of it…
Saturday night, Micky and I headed to Meg’s 40th birthday party. Meg is such a huge part of our family. It was a blast catching up with the gang, holding baby Renzo, and hearing Paul’s toast to his lovely daughter. I really had a great time, and it was a fantastic celebration of a really fantastic person.
The rest of the week was filled with parks, getting back to work, soccer, swimming, and getting as much family time in as possible as the holiday season came to an end.
