We're back!!!!!
It's been a long time since our last posting. In the past month we've logged 6,000 + airmiles and several hundred land miles (traveling between Sacramento and the bay area). We've consumed thousands of kcals in foods that we miss (Vic's, Chinese food, Mexican food, Vic's, Jose's fabulous Spanish taps, Vic's, etc.). And, most importantly, we spent a great deal of much needed time with friends and family. We didn't get to see and visit with everyone but we did pretty well for only being state-side for a month. For those of you we missed, we hope to see you next time we are home, or - better yet - we hope that you visit us here in sunny (eek! erase that) - rainy, cold and dreary - ol' England.
Highlights from this past month include:
- Julia and Marco getting reacquainted with their cousins, aunts, uncles, and friends.
- Marco's ever-improving dexterity and hand-eye coordination. The little champ is sitting up by himself, feeding himself (well, he can hold a cookie which counts for something!), and grabbing everything that's not nailed down.
- Marco's evolution into the kissing bandit! Watch out, you may be the next victim!
- Julia's excellent singing prowess. She knows the words to several songs and she will sing on command!
- Julia's rekindled admiration for Calvie and Freddie, whom she bossed around incessantly. (Not sure where she gets those genes.)
- Sara & Greg taking a much-needed kid-less couple of days in Carmel. Cathy and Andy joined us for part of the time which was such a treat!
- Visiting with Ann and Dave who were out from Colorado.
- Marco's baptism with godparents Paul and Michelle.
- Good food.
- Vic's (in a category by itself, of course.)
