Weekend blur

Polly and I went to California this weekend! We flew there with Hannah and Rhoda. Beginning of the flight (with Hannah)


End of the flight (with me) after staying awake THE ENTIRE FLIGHT. How?!?!


We visited Grandma Helen first thing on Saturday.


We visited Grandma Mary second thing but I don't have a pic of that (yet--my aunt took one and is going to send it to me. I hope!)

Then we went to my sister Bonny's for a few hours. Also no pics of that.

Sunday we spent the entire day in Malibu. First we heard Ara speak in church, then we went to their house and ate delicious food (thanks Phoebe!!!) and I talked to approximately 1,000,000 people. Ok not actually that many but I do have a big extended family. I wouldn't want it any other way.

My mom had the brilliant idea of bringing a pack'n'play and setting it up in Bruce's office. Jackpot! Polly actually got a real nap. It was delightful.

I love my aunt Donna so much. I love all my aunts. I'm a lucky niece!







I wish I had more photographic evidence of the trip, but that's all I got! It was so good to see people I hadn't seen in way too long, like my cousin Karl and his wife Laura. And my aunt Alice. And my aunt Debbie and cousins Amanda and Alyssa. And Bruce's parents and brother! (It's been like 10 or more years.) and lots of other people who I can't remember now because my brain is mush. No pics of any of those people.

Airplane ride home Polly slept a little and cried the rest of the time. But it's ok! It's over now!


This morning I took a 2-hour nap, chatted with my neighbor/good friend Tiffany before she moved away to Florida (so sad) and I then went on a bike ride to the park with Polly and Lars! My house is a complete disaster. It's really bad. I don't even care. I'm taking the kids out for dinner tonight. Maybe I'll do some laundry later. Probably not though! Recovery day for the win. I'll face real life tomorrow. (Or will I?)

  1. So great to see you and Polly - and don't worry about the house - they always keep - a lesson it took me too long to learn!!
