California, baby!

Well, we made it safe and sound to sunny California.  We arrived late last night after almost needing to de-ice in Denver due to snow and heading into a 120 mph headwind on the last leg of our journey.  But we made it.  And we slept.  And we woke up this morning in the Court feeling almost like we'd never left.  Sirens.  Fireworks (gunshots?) at midnight.  Palm trees.  Aah, yes.  It's good to be home.

We will be spending just over a week here, staying with friends, while Nathan ties up a few loose ends and then graduates with his MA Theology next Saturday.  I'm so proud of that husband of mine.  Way to go, Nathan!  I love you!

Here are some pics from the last three days...

 Helping me pack the night before our trip...little monkey!

So glad to be traveling again!  This boy doesn't mind flying one bit.  He makes friends wherever he goes, smiling at everyone he sees, both while we're in the air and as we're waiting in airports.  What a silly boy.  

While silly, he is also the most content baby I've ever known.  Our friends here in the Court were having a second birthday party for their daughter today and this is how Levi spent probably 1/2 an hour or more:
He just sat in that walker (cause his feet couldn't touch the ground so he couldn't run around) and watched all the other little kids playing.  Could he be any sweeter?  I.think.not.

We have that walker too!

Way to get him adjusted to flying so early.
