We had to try out the new Christmas gifts down at Bluffs Park. The girls and I took Grandma and Grandpa to the Huntington! Then the next day, we headed down to the Getty Villa. And we went out to dinner at Paradise Cove, where Annie behaved for the whole time. And we even managed […]
This year’s matching Christmas pajamas brought to you by primary.com. The much longed-for yellow body pillow was perhaps the biggest hit of the morning. Annie needed help opening all her presents, but she quickly got into it. Tommy helped Daddy assemble her big present! She is a big fan. Elizabeth gave her sisters matching dresses…and […]

I just remembered that I’d taken some pictures with my real camera last weekend. The Schaffers hosted Christmas cookie decorating this year, and everyone frosted and decorated to their heart’s content before we sent off care packages to all the first responders who had helped keep our campus and homes safe last month.

One last field trip before Annie (hopefully) joins us this week. We’ve gotten to do a lot of field trips with the Cardonas this fall!
We are getting so close to fostering, and daughter #4 is here the fourth week in a row for respite visits. For those of you who haven’t heard, she was a micropreemie, born at 26 weeks and weighing one and a half pounds. She spent her first six months living at Children’s Hospital LA, then […]
