SUMMER 2013: Week 10 (FINAL WEEK!)

So, this was an important week for our family.  We moved AND the kids started school.  I can't believe summer is over!  Granted, if we were still in Portland, they would have had 11 "extra" days, but alas, school starts earlier here.  We made it just in the nick of time!

SUNDAY -- Alayna, my friend Maria, and I headed to CA at about 5am.  We made it to AG by 7:30pm.  Peter and company had the van unpacked by 9pm.  Yeah!

Park fun with Maria the night before take off.




HOME!

First stop!

A couch fort

While J's room is being painted and aired out, this is his room....

Our door.  Gryffindor represent!

Nick being MacGuyver-like 



MONDAY -- Today was about unpacking and organizing.  Enrolled the kids in school.  Dinner with the Mike, Zabrina, Nick, and May.



TUESDAY -- Mostly continued organizing and unpacking and shopping.  Peter and the kids painted Jeremiah's room.




These sunsets will NEVER get old.


WEDNESDAY -- Peter headed back to PDX for a few more weeks at work there before he starts here.  We had a beach afternoon and had dinner/dessert with friends.

Game time with Maria

Pismo!

California kids!  


Born in Santa Cruz; he's definitely a beach brat!


Making friends with tourists.

Burying her brother!



 Dinner/dessert with one of our favorite families!


THURSDAY -- Kids first day of school!!!  Read about it HERE.  (Maria left for Portland.....  :/ )



FRIDAY -- Alone in the house without Peter or the kids for 7 hours.  I did some reading and blogged.  Did Yoga and took a 5-mile bike ride.  I could get use to this. (But, actually hoping to for either a job or to transfer back in to a nursing program here....SOON.)  Plus, a quick trip to the beach after school.

It was fairly cold and very windy.  He was the only one in the ocean for a time.

You can see him all by his lonesome out there in the distance.

Not bad for a Friday afternoon.


SATURDAY -- Ezra's Eternity Day.  Read about how we spent it (with photos) HERE.


What an awesome summer!  This will be the last weekly recap until next year.  It's been fun!
