Little Miss (Carlsbad) Sunshine

OK, I know that it's been a while since we've been able to update our blog - sorry! Lorraine's mother has been here the past month while I travelled for a few weeks and her father joined us here about two weeks ago. They were kind to treat us all to a few days of vacation in Carlsbad (between here and San Diego). Here are some great pictures and short videos!

Lauren had a great time with her grandparents...




In Carlsbad, there was a fun "tot lot" at the resort...






The best part was when we took her to the beach for her first experience with surf and sand...





Here are a couple of videos of Lauren having a ball on the beach...




Lorraine's parents leave to go back to Ohio tomorrow - back to the Christine, Ryan, and Russell (and the 21 inches of snow)...

...ok, I'm a little confused. Did you say, "Lauren's FIRST experience with surf and sand"? Don't you guys live in California?! ...that poor child is neglected. I fear what else exists that she has not yet experienced...PIZZA? BAGELS? I'm now uncertain of your parenting abilities. Worried in DC, e.

...most importantly - she's just more darling each day! And so are all of you, looking so radiant! Much love!

Cute pics! I have to ask who's foot is that in the 12th picture...the one where Lauren is kicking her leg up? Could that be Mrs. G? :) I'd be happy to teach Lauren my few surfing skills when she gets a tad bit older. She's so going to be a beach girl!

I agree with Erica on the whole beach thing....looks like it's going to be Aunt "Surf's Up" Helen to get Lauren out on the waves. See, if I lived in California, you'd be coming to visit me every day on the beach...third grass hut on the right.
