And, as usual, we made time for beach days.

YOSEPH AND CHANA

After nearly 8 years of marriage, I finally got to meet my brother-in-law, Yoseph. He hadn't been back to America for many years and I've never been to Israel (where he lives), so we'd never actually met until just last week. He and his lovely wife, Chana, came to stay with us and it was so nice to finally meet them! They're a lot of fun and the kids are OBSESSED with them!

Come back soon Wuncle Uncle and Auntie Chana!!

IT'S SO HARD TO SAY GOODBYE

Does that title make you start singing Boyz II Men? If so, you're welcome :-) If not, you are young.

Well, Grandma and Grandpa have left us for the Great Northern Wilds of Michigan. Here are some pictures from our last weekend together before they headed out.

Goodbye Grandma and Grandpa! We can't wait to see you again next winter! Enjoy that lovely Michigan weather :-) 

SLO & LOW

Over the weekend, we took our two biggest boys on a little mini-vacation to San Luis Obispo. We love that area. If we ever move away from Monterey County, I imagine it'll be because we've headed down that way.

The boys were crazy about the San Luis Obispo Children's Museum. I think we're going to have to get annual passes there.

They were also NUTS about the hotel spa! So nuts, in fact, that they've coerced us into getting one for our backyard :-)

Apart from the museum and the jacuzzi, we also had a blast visiting Morro Bay and Avila Beach. If you haven't spent time in SLO, you're missing out!
