West Coast Bakers

After posting my last blog it was brought to my attention that I had made a huge omission. After getting to California and all of the ensuing chaos Curtis took Steve and I to see his plant. I didn't know what to expect, but it was impressive. The operation is huge, at least in my opinion, and there is so much technical stuff going on. Curtis was in his element and Steve and I couldn't have been more proud. Now that truly was a mistaken omission!!

So to bring you all up to date on our visit with the west coast Bakers. . . 

Steve and I are having the time of our lives. We spend just about everyday with the kids. Evelyn and I were going to story time at the library twice a week, but that has now stopped until the end of August. I'm looking forward to that starting up again. Evelyn was thrilled to spend time with other children. 

Steve and I have been so excited to be around to see Evelyn take her first steps. She is a late bloomer walking but she is making up for it in tenacity. She stands, takes a few steps, falls then gets very aggravated with the floor for jumping out and tripping her like that. It is a riot!!!! God love her, she keeps getting up and working at it though. When she was first starting to stand unassisted she would just scream with delight at her prowess. It really is so fun. 

Now on to Maddox, he is the worlds most perfect baby. He loves to just snuggle up with grandmom and while away the hours. We sit with Evelyn and watch Dave and Ava videos on iTunes. Evelyn seems to get a lot more out of the videos than Maddox, but heck, he is only a month old.  

I was trying to walk a few times a week until I was warned by another walker that a guy was having relations with himself up the block. That kind of ruined it for me. So now I limit myself to walks to the food store with Evelyn in the stroller. It's only a little more than half a mile way but what the hell, it's something. However it has been hot, and Evelyn is so fair skinned, I feel guilty.

So fear not, we are still around even if we aren't heard from. There’s a lot to spending the day with a 19 month old and a one month old. Plus we have managed to go to a farmers market one evening, and we had an outing to the Orange County Fair. There have been doctor’s appointments and shopping trips and Courtney and I found a local vinyl supplier that we just had to check out. Poor steve even got to spend a couple hours with both kids while Courtney and I hit Walmart, mind you, Evelyn was supposed to be taking a nap but that didn't last long. Thank God he has the patients of a saint.
