Moonlight beach

We were able to meet the Meeuwsens at Moonlight beach in Encinitas on Sunday for a nice walk in the park and down the beach. Jonas showed us his swinging skills and then the kids took a nice nap as we pushed their strollers down the beach. KM tried her hand at driving after she had a nice poop, funny how happy they seem to be after squeezing on out!

The DeMore's Baby Shower

We headed down to Chu-V (Chula Vista) for our friend's Duane and Lydia DeMore's baby shower. They're in the final stages of adopting their soon to be born son, whose mother Ashley is a really kind person who wants to make sure her baby boy is properly cared for. The shower was fun, lots of food and plenty of booze, just what we like! There were a ton of kids though, a 2wk old, 4mth old, plenty of toddlers, at least 10 and a lot of nice family. Duane's parents came out too and had fun holding KM, I think she might have left her mark on Grandma DeMore though, I had to change a minor blowout and it had a good potential of migrating...oops! It was good to see my old co-workers and friends, both the Bialas and DeMore's used to live in PB near us, now we're parents or soon to be parents!

Brunch at the Sundseths

We actually hosted a fun brunch at our house with some of our friends who have the joy of changing diapers and cleaning up puke, from kids, not your roommates! The two O'Day families, the Meeuwsens, and the Czyszczons were all able to join us for some brunch and mimosas. Riley and Liam had a good time running through the yard and having balls thrown at them by their loving dads, typical O'Days. Jonas was his usual self, laughing and playing, he actually only spit up on me once! Khloe Mai, Marley and Isabella were all pretty chill, just taking in all of the sites and sounds and pooping and peeing as usual. After the 60th piece of bacon was eaten and the 4th bottle of champagne was kicked everyone was pretty much done. Thanks to those that came, hopefully Geanie and I can host some more fun events once I get the yard finished.

'Bachan Visit

We were so stoked to have my mom come and stay with us for two weeks at the beginning of her month long whirlwind trip through the states. Mom helped out around the house and babysat Khloe Mai while Geanie was transitioning back into work. We had a lot of fun times going to the farmers market, walking at the beach and having nice family dinners together. Mom also purchased our first five trees for our house. They were and avocado, nectarine, Valencia orange, dwarf Mexican lime, and dwarf mandarin. Mom also helped weed our yard, which it is in constant need of. Once she left it was pretty sad, no one to make dinner, no one to do dishes, no one to babysit while Geanie and I went on a date, etc! It was definitely an appreciated visit, and if you can step up to the plate like my mom, you're more than welcome to stay too!

Hiking at Torrey with the Meeuwsens

We had a fun time taking Khloe Mai hiking with the Meeuwsens at Torrey Pines. The Ergo worked out nicely for the hike taking most of the weight of KM onto the hips. We decided to take lunch under the cliffs at the beach, not the brightest idea seeing they've been known to take people out unexpectedly. Jonas was hilarious, being his usual self laughing and eating everything. He went in for another kiss with KM, need to watch out for that boy!

For Khloe Mai's first X-mas we didn't go big, we were pretty stoked on just having a little gremlin pooping and farting with us over the holidays. We spent X-mas day at the Czyszczon's with the O'Day and Cabral families, along with token guest James.



We also celebrated a 2nd X-mas with Weedman's, who have been kind enough to include us in their annual Thanksgiving and X-mas celebrations over the years. We had a good time and Khloe Mai behaved quite well for a 2month old, she had no emotional breakdowns or ex-boyfriends to spoil it, just some good ol burps and smiles!

Geanie's Surprise B-day

Thanks to everyone that could make Geaine's surprise b-day! We had a blast and Geanie really enjoyed all of the company that was there to celebrate. It was tough keeping it a surprise, with the questions on why we're going shopping the weekend before X-mas to the last minute when we pulled in and she asked why Thanh's car was on our street! I had a good time too, maybe this was a party for Geanie/Keoni, but it was definitely nice to have people over to our new house. We hope to throw more parties and I think a kegerator is in the works, thanks for the idea neighbor Derek!
