Award

Silas got a school award (they call them "Bear Hugs" since the school mascot is a bear) for excellent math skills. He's on the left reading his award. Way to go Silas!!!

Fun idea

I checked out Pinterest for the first time yesterday and saw this idea for jeans with torn knees. LOVED it, so made it happen right away. The boys love it.

House Tour

For distant family and friends I present a brief house tour. There's still work to be done on the house, so ignore the flaws. Now you can see the inefficient layout (especially for a family of 5) I've been telling you about. But it is a lovely house in many ways too. I had to do it in 3 segments or the file size would be too large to upload to blogspot.

Surfing!

Chris has been surfing a couple of times since moving here. But today was Silas's first surf session with his dad. He got up on his knees for a couple of waves. He is STOKED!

Beach Day

We now live on the coast. And it's a VERY beautiful coast!! There are some great sandy beaches, but today we explored the rock areas.

Yes, Keilah brought a purse for our walk on the beach. I don't know where she gets it from.

There were great tide pools too. We got a close up of this sea anemone.

Morro Bay

We went out to dinner to celebrate our move and got to enjoy a beautiful sunset.

First day

The boys, ready for their first day of school in Los Osos.
