On Our Way

We are headed to California tomorrow. My mom lives in Big Sur, and we'll be staying with her - in a little cabin in the woods, which I love, because it has a deck that is perfect for stargazing and watching the sun set over the ocean. But I'm extra excited because my brother is getting married and a lot of my family is coming from Austrian (some of whom haven't met the girls at all, the others haven't seen them since Amelia was just a few months old). And of course I'm excited about the wedding, which will be at Pebble Beach - and the girls will be flower girls.

I might actually have more time to blog while I'm out there, we'll see... it's been a rough (but happy!) couple of weeks, because when I come home from work, I'm so tired I can barely get through our evening routine before going to bed. This will be our longest family vacation, mostly because I've always had to use most of my vacation time for traveling for Sophia's surgeries and doctors' appointments... so we're all really excited!

Can I say excited one more time? Why yes, I can...

Thursday evening we told the girls about the baby, because I knew people would be talking about it in California. Sophia started jumping around saying "I just can't believe it! I'm so excited!" She looked at the ultrasound picture and said "this is definitely a brother." She also told me that she would need to start coming to all of my doctor appointments so she could check on "our baby." But she also said "maybe we can call him 'Crier' because he'll probably cry a lot" ha!

Okay, it's afternoon on Saturday, and I have not begun to pack, and I also have lots of cleaning to do before we leave, so I better get moving... I'll check in once we're settled in at my mom's!
