2nd Stop Fresno - My CA parents -Rob and Vicki Carter

On Friday we flew to Fresno. Rob picked us up and we dropped by to see Kristen and Lincoln (his daughter in law and grandson)! What a joy to meet little Lincoln!


This too was a rich, relaxing, and refreshing time!!! I was so blessed by rich conversations with both Rob and Vicki individually! I just love them!!!


Out to lunch with Vicki!

How cute are they!!!!

My first big adventure with Sterling - A 2 week trip to CA!

Our first stop was to visit Kaitlyn, Ryan, and Noelle in Costa Mesa!! Sterling was the most amazing little traveler! He never made a peep on the flights! He ate, hung out, and slept like he does here at home. He probably thought it was the greatest thing ever - to be held for so many hours straight!! I, on the other hand, made the silliest mistake I've ever made in all my traveling!!! Instead of getting off the plane to make our transfer like we were supposed to, we stayed on and ended up in LAX! Thankfully we were able to catch a shuttle to Costa mesa! I was just glad we didn't end up in another state!!!
Anyway, we had a blast! Even with two babies we were able to have a couple great conversations! It was refreshing and such a blessing to have time to reconnect!! I did a terrible job of remembering to take pictures so this is all I have!

Kaitlyn was 36 weeks along while we were there! She is carrying another very busy little girl!



My little man...

Our sweet boy!

Jackson checkin' Sterling out!

It was so cute - Jackson went straight for Sterling's feet!

Rob, our dear neighbor, and Jackson, his son, and our little man!

Tim's parents came to visit last weekend!

The thumb!

Why is it that when it's your kid everything they do is so amazing?!!!! Sterling was talking himself to sleep 2 days ago then got really quiet. I went in to see if he had fallen asleep to find that he had discovered his thumb : ) !!! He was going nuts on it! He has no concept that it's actually attached to his hand so when he jerks it and pulls it out it makes him so frustrated! It's so funny to watch!!!

The Pruett's visit!

Family friends from the good old days in the Philippines came to visit - it was wonderful to see them and so much fun to catch up!

Uncle Ryan and Aunt Shannon

Lovin' on our boy!

Gettin' some daddy lovin' before he had to go to work!

So this is how i found Sterling sleeping yesterday morning - I couldn't resist taking a picture : )

Sunday at U. Paul and A. Colleen's!

Sterling with cousin Christy (my cousin)

We celebrated U. Paul and Justin's b-days on Sunday. A. Colleen made awesome lasagna and eggplant parmesan!!

Chris' visit!

Chris, a friend from work, stopped by Friday afternoon to meet Sterling!

Saying good-bye to Pops!

We took my dad to the airport last Wednesday for his 2 month trip to the Philippines! It's nuts to think that Sterling will be 3 times as old by the time Pops gets back!!!
