Crawling Video

Here is Madeline cruising down the hallway. Since we took this video she has learned to do short stairs too.

Mom and Babe at the Beach

Actually Adam was there too, but he was taking the pictures (for a change- just kidding). We had a fabulous time at Half Moon Bay beach, and Adam even jumped in the water and swam around a bit which was quite impressive because it was cold and windy. So I told Adam he had proved his manhood ;).
Half Moon Bay is a cute little beach town that's about a 30 minute drive from our house. Madeline loved playing in the sand, and finding dogs to look at, and trying to sneak little twigs into her mouth while I wasn't looking (Her favorite thing to do--no matter how fun the snacks I get her are, sticks always win out).
This is the link to the Ritz Carlton, which we did not stay at , but it is at half moon bay, and it is gorgeous! Look at the view!!! Yes, I did buy the huge Nichole Richie sunglasses... which I thought I would never do.
Don't mind the cleavage. Do you see her pointing? Her new thing is pointing at everything, it's soooo cute!
Wow, I look super chub in this pic, but it's a cute one of her crawling-- oh the sacrifices we moms make...

Thank you to Lauren!

I just need to say Thank You again to Lauren for the updated CUTE blog that she made for me. Thanks!! I totally LOVE it!!!

Golden Gate Park

We had fun Saturday at Golden Gate Park! It is HUGE! We went and saw the Botanical Gardens and the Stow Lake, etc. There is an awesome art museum also, but we didn't look through it.

mj and house

This is our current residence

Nice, huh? It's AMAZING. I feel like I'm staying at a resort. I don't think this is supposed to be the law school experience, but hey, I'll take it. We are staying in Woodside, CA. Right next to Stanford, and 30 minutes from the coast and from San Fran. It is so beautiful here, and such a variety of scenery. But sadly, it's only for two months of the summer. We better live it up because we will never live like this again... especially in California.
My job for the summer is to try and find a place that we can actually live if we decide to move here. Ha ha! That's a JOKE. We drove by some ok-ish neighborhoods the other day and picked up a 'for sale' paper from just an average-ok-ish house, and the price tag was $1.275 million. Yeah. Not happening.
But I have no right to complain- we are staying in this fabulous resort-home in the middle of the redwood forest, in the most beautiful place I have ever seen. We'll just focus on the here and now and not worry about the future.
This is the night view from our bedroom deck. Sunrises are incredible. We can watch them every morning from bed. I am way too lucky and spoiled.

This is the dog, Beau, that we are watching. That's how we got the house, we're dog-sitting.

Dang I'm funny

Most everyone has heard this story, but in case anyone hasn't, I just want y'all to know how funny I am. Bill Murray was on our flight from Charleston to Atlanta. Of course we kept turning around (yes he was flying coach!) and staring at him, trying to figure out if that was REALLY Bill Murray on our flight. Being big Bill Murray fans, we were totally stoaked but come on--we didn't want to be those annoying fans who try to talk to celebs and stuff when they obviously want to be left alone. So anyway, we got off the plane and he was right behind us!! I was totally star-struck and had to say something, so as he walked by, I just said

"We are HUGE fans", he said thanks, and then I said "Sorry for staring at you on the plane..." and he said "Oh that's ok, you didn't frighten me" and then tongue in cheek, I said "...You're just so attractive!" And he totally laughed and said "Yeah right!" Ha!! Bill Murray totally laughed at my joke! I am officially HILARIOUS!
