Greetings from sunny California!

I guess that makes it sound like we're out sunning ourselves in a posh resort somewhere. Well, we're not. BUT! It has been absolutely gorgeous in the Bay Area since we arrived safely on Tuesday. Rachel and I haven't done too much out of the ordinary here (run to the market, pick up the girls from school and other activities, etc) just yet, but it is great just to be here and be able to spend some 'normal' time with them and Anne and Woody.

Rachel has done really well getting along and playing harmoniously with her cousins. They will be really great babysitters when they get a little bit older. She has also taken to her Aunt Anne again, but I don't think there was much of a choice in the matter. Uncle Woody, however, is another story. (haha) She shakes her head (no) whenever he comes in the room or talks to her (or near her or away from her, or ANYTIME). Poor Woody. I think things are warming up though.

Today our plans are to take Rachel to the girls' gymnastics place so she can go 'tumbling' with other kids her age. They start with the babies at 16 months so she is here at exactly the right time. I will try to get some video and post it up. Then later, a real estate agent/parent at the girls' school is sponsoring a coffee/cappuccino bar after school for the parents to celebrate the start of spring break.

We are going to do some stuff locally this weekend. Parks, and maybe the zoo. Then Granddad comes on Monday night, and we all are going to Tahoe on Tuesday.
