Toss away the resolutions!

The two resolutions were:
1. Have a positive attitude
2. Keep the blog updated
oops to both of those! Anyhow here are some pics from fall & winter. We're missing the beach now as it's raining and raining and raining. I know, I know--we need the rain! The problem is, when it rains, I tend to get cozy inside and get lazy...(and eat loads of dessert). Funny how those things just seem to fit together!

Our last adventure was our trip to Big Sur over MLK weekend. We ended up camping closer to San Simeon at a really great beach site. It was Amelie's first camping trip and we had a truly awesome time! We stayed 2 nights and got to do some hiking, whale watching (we saw a few migrating--so cool!!), beachcombing, stargazing, roasting of marshmellows and of course we went to giggle at the funny elephant seals & pups on the shore. What a fabulous weekend! Sadly, I took a piece of our weekend home with us...POISON OAK!!! 2 days after we left, I discovered that my body was riddled with the rash. It lasted almost 3 weeks, ranging from bumps on the top of my mouth and swollen botox like lips, to bruises on my back and scabs on my arms (from all that scratching!). Oh, the horror. Nato got it a tiny bit on his legs, obviously he & the girls aren't nearly as affected as me!

Since that time we've been battling colds & rashes...ugh. We've seen the doctor countless times and I think we're all ready to be HEALTHY again. Hoping soon!

More to come...I'll try to be less depressing next time!
