okay so I have been such a slacker with this!

But I have a good excuse....UNPACKING! Wow what a crazy busy couple of days it has been. We finally made it to California and it is like nothing I have ever experienced. Take Boston traffic, mix it with some HOT days, COLD nites, a Jimmy Buffet parking lot party and a lil of Peatown in the summer and there you got where we are!
Gisele seems to be settling in fine (a lot of that has to do with her cousin being here, she has been having a ball making a hotel out of all our boxes, playing with some special toys that a friend in NC gave her for new home and exploring in general) She has found a tree right outside the kitchen window that she loves to climb but Holly has a fit when she is up the tree ( so does Momma!)
Today we decided to take a break from unpacking and took the girls to Dillon Beach we had a blast it was VERY cold there but still got "some" color. I put my feet in the Pacific Ocean for the first time (probably the last too! It was colder than when we took the Polar PLunge in MA!)Gisele had such a great time running on the dunes, totally against everything I was ever taught about dunes but I am trying to go with it... that seems to be the theme lately all the planning has gone out the window lately. Joel returns to work on the 5th we visited the base and after seeing the view he will have from his office I really see why he has fallen in love with this place. I can honestly say I have never seen him so peaceful...
