CALIFORNIA Lovin'

I can't even express how much of a nice break we have had. Madeline and I have been in California for the past 3 weeks and I can't complain. Sunny, 80 degree weather everyday. Long walks on the bluffs, madeline rolling down the grass hills laughing with aunt dodo. Madeline running around in bare feet singing. Laying out looking at the beautiful ocean. Running around on the beach. Playing gin with my mom every night. Watching my dad build build build (quite the handyman!), Watching Stuart paint the house and build the front porch with my dad was even more fun! Watching my sisters run around with Madeline dancing, singing, yelling, and laughing. Making a fun dinner every night with my mom. Madeline pulling funny faces at dinner and making us wet our pants. Madeline saying "oh my gosh" with the cutest expressions towards everything. Madeline saying "I did it" when she has accomplished something she has been working so hard to get. Spending the day in Laguna beach with just Stuart getting tacos, walking around holding hands and just chilling together.

Caroline the photographer. We both got SLR camera's for Christmas... Love them! 

Stu and my dad. Stu reading the manual to our new Nikon. I have become a little obsessed with taking pictures. I'm driving my family NUTS!

Maddie LOVES her bompa.

I guess this pic speaks for itself.

Dad. Liv. Mom. Stu. Maddie. Caroline. We love taking walks down from our house to the bluffs and watching the sunset. 

Silly sisters...

Madeline LOVED the park. Such nice weather. A little too hot this day.
