San Diego

I have had a few people comment on our blog, some of them asking why I haven’t written in awhile. And by some I mean my dad. I guess I don’t really have a great answer except that I have four children. Is that enough of an explanation? Also, I am trying to get over my issues with not wanting to write unless I feel I have something really worth writing. I know, I need to get over myself. Truth be told, I’m trying to actually write more, as in I am in a writers group and I entered an essay into a contest. There. I said it. So now I feel like I have to try to be a decent writer. And now I’m insecure. Anyway, it’s not all about me because for the 8-10 people who actually read this blog, most of whom are family, you probably just want to hear cute stories about the kids and see pictures. And I don’t blame you. So…we went to a wedding in San Diego for our friends Chris and Heather. Judah and Josie were the ring bearer and flower girl and I don’t think I need to express how cute they were. I have the pictures to prove it. This was our first trip with just our family of six. This was pretty big for us. Even bigger was our trip to Legoland. We saw just about anything you can imagine made out of Legos. And we tried with all our might to explain to our kids that we could get a Lego set that was identical to the ones sold at the souvenir shop for only $25 instead of $60. This was a very difficult concept for them. But we did manage to leave Legoland with just a few little Lego key chains rather than 5-7 jumbo Lego sets like most families. So the wedding was amazing, Legoland was all that the boys had dreamed it would be and Josie was perfectly happy with a little box of mini M&M’s. A successful trip in my book. Although, I don’t think I was able to get one decent shot of all four children smiling and looking somewhat normal.
