San Diego County Fair 2015!

 We had a great time at the Fair today.

Phillips Park Zoo

 Summer has just started and we've been busy.

Shelly & Jeff's Wedding

 Today we witnessed two lovely people commit their lives together and then we celebrated afterwards.  Love their one of a kind shoes, decked out by Aunt Lelo!

Kindergarten Graduation

 Today Elena graduated from Kindergarten.

Garden Update: Week 4

 Amazing that all this has happened over the past 3 weeks.

Garden Update: Week 3

 The garden is coming along though it has been a wet spring here and the raised bed is holding water thanks to the cardboard I put under the soil.  I was trying a no till method to kill the grass.  Not sure my seedlings like it so much.  The green beans are struggling and I can't figure out what is wrong--if it is too much moisture, lack of nutrients or a fungal disease.

The Secret Beach!

 One of the great things about moving to a new town is exploring.  Last weekend Carl and the kids found this local beach access...and named it the Secret Beach!  It's just down the stairs.

Garden Update: Week 2

 Well, it's week 2 and the garden has had quite a bit of activity.  As you can see there is green popping up everywhere!  We had a few rain showers which I'm sure helped tremendously.

Garden Update, Week 1

 It's been 1 week since Elena and I planted seeds in the garden. 

Happy 6th Birthday to Elena!

  Elena's 6th birthday was a day full of love!

A New Garden

 The one sad part about moving is that you leave your garden behind and have to start over.

New Home

Well, it's been quite awhile since I've shared any pics or life happenings...and I'll try to catch up for the better part of a year but for now I'm going to write about our current happenings.  It all started last spring, about the same time as I stopped writing....Carl and I had some talks on where we were in life and where we wanted to be headed.  We needed a little shake up with some tough decisions to make.  The end result has lead Carl to a new job last November and our family to a new home in February.  It has been a month since we moved and we are still settling in...there are a few boxes left to unpack in the garage, artwork to hang on the walls and organizing to finish but we are loving our new home.  I hope to get back to writing on a more regular basis and also catch up on posting pics from the last year.  Thanks for being patient with me!  :)
