Well, it's been awhile. My blog has pretty much kerplopped. Believe me, I've made many an attempt to post but we had to leave, the baby was crying, the pictures wouldn't upload... so that's my excuse.

Anyway. We're still here! 

 In April, we flew to California to pick up an '09 Jetta we bought in LA, then drove up to my parents and stayed with them for a little over a week. I can't wait for them to come in a few weeks and see our boy again! Above... we had just given CJ a bath in my mom's enormous sink. Quite the family event (like...literally...my Mom was getting poetic about the bath towel being mine when I was a baby...).

 On the way home, we stopped in Solvang for the night. It was a spur-of-the-moment decision... Clint spoils me, I tell ya. We stayed in a pretty little hotel and ate some German sausage and had a lovely time together, of course.

 It was cold. Here's my Clint's touring the town with me. I couldn't resist a photo. Notice the leg warmers. Oh yeah!

 Adorableness.

 We discovered that CJ is a great trip baby. Thank goodness...

 "Whassup Mom?"

 He loves to chill in the sink. I passed on a strong shower-until-your'e-numb gene to him.

 He doesn't love to chill in his bed. Here he is with his Amish beads after just waking up. (please ignore that they are pink. We are working on his Grandma with this one. She's the culprit.)

 I went on a run after a storm, and Clint took the baby and did a little tour of the countryside and took some beautiful photos. Here is my favorite.

Driving up Hwy 1...there was road construction and a thirty minute stop. Us and the rest of the foreigners took advantage of the scenery and got out for a few photos. I miss my ocean!

Anyway... that was a pretty boring post. I'm not in the writing mood. But I will be. Hold your breath. : All these photos are a couple of months old, so my little boy has developed quite a bit more, which I will be showcasing very soon. Till next time.
