Monterey visit...

Mom and dad went to La Salva for mom's high school reunion this weekend. I jumped at the chance to go with them. I didn't want to miss it. Here's Savy with grandma before we left:Thinking about our move coming up this December reminds me to spend lots of time with family now. I do have promises from Greg's family that they will come out and visit us. So I hope it does come true. We will try to come back home too but we don't have any idea when. My visit to La Salva was special because Chase, Savannah, and I spent most of our time with Diane. So we got to know her a lot better. It was fun spending time with her. She's a amazing person. For two mornings, Mike made the kids and I a super breakfast. I also got to get to know him. That was special too. On Friday night, grandma Carole had a really good dinner for us. She's really a good hostess. I got to talk with aunt Diane's children, Greg's cousins, and their partners. It was just a fun night. Their grandson Woody played for hours with Chase and Savy without stopping. It was fun watching them laugh, play and jump. We walked down to the beach one day. Here's Savy in a stoller that Diane let us use when we walked up to Carole's house:Chase and Savy played a lot in Carole's backyard. Chase said that it was "a forest." Diane brought down a tent, tables, and chairs for them to play in. They loved that. Chase learned how to climb up a tree out there in the forest. He was proud of himself. He even let me take his picture doing it: Here is Chase watching a dvd inside mom's sun-shade-thing for the front window. Chase said it was his house inside there:
I love the weather in La Selva. We were in jeans, shoes, and sweaters. I loved being in a 60 to 70 dregree weather.
