March 2014

March was a busy, busy month!  We made a trip to Visalia, packed up our Coronado home, unpacked into our new Cardiff by the Sea home, started a new preschool, enjoyed visitors, and got sick.  Yes, that's plenty of excitement!

Bo and Margie were so thoughtful.  On this night they prepared us a filet mignon farewell dinner, complete with cream-puff cake for dessert.  It doesn't get any better than that... really!

Reece had his four-year Well Check.  He weighed in at 36 pounds, 8 ounces (51%) and measured 3 feet, 3.5 inches (26%).  Everything went smoothly and Reece is healthy and growing!  I discussed Reece's diet with Dr. Petrovich, because he continues to be incredibly picky and stubborn about foods he hasn't even tried.  For now, we will continue to put healthy options in front of him, and let Reece choose what he wants to eat.

I drove Reece and Elle up to Visalia and then headed home for an intense two days of packing.  Aaron and I stayed with Bo and Margie Thursday and Friday nights.  It was like a vacation (minus the packing!).  The movers came on Saturday.  Nana, Tia, Reece, Elle, and Jaelyn all joined us at our new home Saturday afternoon.  Thank you to Nana and Tia for all of your help unpacking (especially the kitchen)!
All ready to go!
We made it to beautiful Cardiff by the Sea!
The view from the end of our street... gorgeous!
Reece and Elle's new rooms.  I love Elle's turquoise wall, but she is devastated that she has a BLUE wall.  We may be painting it lavender soon...
Hanging out and grilling with Dad while Mom cooks inside.  We are in love with our new SPACE!
Reece's first day at Coast Kids Preschool!  He loved it!  Mrs. Penny and Miss Bridgette are wonderful!
Our new library, the Encinitas branch, complete with a beautiful view of the ocean.
Elle and I have a blast together while Reece is in preschool (library story time, coffee/hot chocolate, park play time, etc.)

New chore!
Like I said last month, Lego-mania continues!
Papa and Nana came to visit!  VG's Donuts is a new weekend tradition.
We ended the month with a bug.  Elle started, and Reece followed.  Fortunately, Aaron and I were spared!
