Winter Warmth

First of all, we sympathize with those of you in the Midwest and on the East Coast who are facing blizzards and windchill factors and therefore are trying not to complain when we see temperatures in the 40s at night. We count our blessings for every minute of sunshine that we get and the following pictures of us at the park and at the beach are in no way intended to mock you. Visitors are welcome if you are ok with baby-sitting and light housework...specifically mopping the floors. Now that our little one is crawling they can't be too clean.We do try to get out on the weekends when we can and enjoy the aforementioned weather. Reese enjoys crawling in (and eating) the grass. Here we are in Balboa Park enjoying the fresh air.

Reese loves practicing her walking.

This weekend we spent the day with Uncle Steven and Aunt Camilla who were passing through Orange County on their way to Cabo San Lucas, Mexico. They enjoyed meeting Reese and having a chance to thaw out from the Baltimore winter.

Here she is dipping her toes into the Pacific Ocean for the first time. Personally I thought it was cold but she seemed very tickled by it and later enjoyed chewing on her salty toes.

It's quite a nice life she has...me too now that I think about it!
