She's growing up



This is what Teresa's room looked like when we moved in



I worked hard to make it like this shortly after we moved in



It was perfect for a 4 year old. And she loved it for a long time.




Recently I convinced her it was time to change it into something a teenager could love





And this is the result. She LOVES it!



She picked the colors and helped paint. The pink squiggles were done by her.



Nathan wanted to help paint too.



Teresa was taking wallpaper down and the kitten wanted to help



We love the sun

What can I say we love the beach, it doesn't matter the season. We headed over to Cambria on Sunday. It was so nice there. Not even the usual morning fog at the beach. Perfect! We saw the Elephant seals and their pups, and then we walked the beach and checked out the tide pool. It was a lot of fun. After all of us being sick the last 2 weeks, it was great to get out of town and do something fun

Music to my ears

I didn't mean to let this slip by without blogging it. Teresa had her choir concert in December and they did a great job. I have a small clip of one of the songs they did, it was very cute!

We're having a really fun week, so check back later :)

Sweet Kitty

I was going to post this pictures to show you how cute our kitty is. She loved those moose. She was pretty excited about the Christmas tree too. She would spend a good part of the day behind it, drinking it's water and playing with the branches. She was such a good kitty. I'm so sorry to say she died yesterday. Jonathan found her outside, she'd been hit by a car. We don't know when or how she got out. But that doesn't matter. She's gone and we are so sad.
