More Snapshots

Immediately upon our return home, everyone wanted to head back to a "new cabin." At least we know that they all love to travel in case we ever decide to take this crew mobile living. Here's a quick snapshot at San Francisco and Monterey...

Some of our favorite pit stops were random unknown attractions like this amazing family farm!

I guess crops don't always produce, so they built an attraction on the grounds that would guarantee an entry fee!

And exit fee :D

And extra special attractions for an extra special fee...always cheering each other on to the finish line.


Boys loved all the bridges and tunnels around the Bay Area.

My Oakland-living brother had never even heard of  the Bay Area Museum. Your itinerary and attractions change with kiddos. The boys LOVED this one.  




We don't belong to gyms, we just play with our kids.

With Levi's weak hand, he needs extra assistance, so Roman had to fend for himself for a moment. 

Kid museums are the best!


A snack in Sausalito is also high on my recommendation list. 

We had already felt winter and fall, now it was time for spring and summer...

We are almost ready to start our own Full House show.

Rainforest wonders...

Real world wonders...

Our Oakland home view... the boys watched the sunset every night in Cali.

Time to go get daddy from work!

But let's putt putt first.


And eat a little Ghiradelli.

Beach and rock time...

Gorgeous place in Pacific Grove


Since we can't climb furniture at home, we got lots of climbing done out west. Probably why they slept so well.








Coffee shop stops also happen regularly on vacation. Start 'um young!


We had a ball at the Monterey Aquarium! I think we even liked it better than our huge one at home.









Time to drive down the coast.

One more photo burst coming your way soon...

Confessions

I have had so many people thank me for my honesty on this blog lately. I haven't really thought about my level of truthfulness until those remarks of gratitude were given. I think I naturally wear my heart on my sleeve, and thanks to my upbringing, I often hear the term TMI, which just means I'm obviously not scared to express myself. However, I also believe that when you are going through something difficult, it's much easier to be raw and real in front of others, even complete strangers. Often times, it is these "real" moments that bridge the gap between hearts and allow us to live truth. I must confess, this marathon is really all over the place. It's like I hit mile 7, and I can't believe I'm only at mile 7! This past weekend, I felt covered in prayer, peace, and love. Matthew and I enjoyed a much needed date night, our little Levi enjoyed a quiet and restful weekend, and our big boy had a blast at our neighborhood Easter Egg Hunt.  I really ju...

Joy in Pain

There is pain in this world. It comes in different forms. Physical pain, emotional pain, frustrating pain, confused pain, displaced pain, short-lived pain, numbing pain, excruciating pain, sincere pain, unexpected pain. Yet, through it all, there is joy. How? Where? Why is there joy in a world filled with such pain? Is is true joy? Is it fabricated or medicated joy? Is it temporary joy or will it fade with the next whisper of pain? No. I have felt a joy that far outweighs my pain. It's a joy that doesn't make sense mixing with a pain that culminates in reality. It's a joy that couldn't be concocted by even the most elaborate of artists. As I've experienced some of the most intense physical pain during some of the most intense emotional pain, I have noticed and experienced some of the purest forms of joy and peace that cannot be watered down by logic. We lost our second child this week. At just seven weeks old, our precious baby gets to escape a world o...
