We have been busy having lots of fun lately! We recently got back from a 12 day trip to California. It was amazing! We went for Travis and Harmony's wedding - which was beautiful! The first couple days in CA we spent time with the Weber family at their home. They are so sweet - we felt like honorary members of the family! On our first night, as I was getting ready for bed, I looked in the mirror (it was one of those full closet door mirrors) and thought "holy crap I am pregnant!" I felt like my stomach popped on the plane because when I boarded in Louisiana I didn't have that stomach! Bradley had fun poking at it and admiring my new look. He is getting more and more excited as the days pass - it is so cute! The below picture (behind the Pepperdine Chapel) is not my favorite - it was early in the morning and I was squinting - but it does adequately show my expanding belly!
We spent the next day hanging out in Santa Monica on 3rd Street. I forgot how busy California is - but is was great! Bradley's mission of the day was to ask people about their stroller experiences. On more than one occasion we would say, "where's Bradley?" After searching for a minute, we would always find him engaged in deep conversation with some woman with her baby. His "market research" led to another purchasing decision. We are getting a BOB Revolution. This stroller has great reviews, acts as a jogger and has real suspension, which is a necessity on New Orleans roads.
I also got to spend a day hanging out with Christi! So good to catch up! We also spent time sailing in California - it was amazing! Bradley and I would love to take up sailing! Travis has a license and belongs to a club, so you can just check boats out - it was a blast. We saw one dolphin and got pretty close to a sea lion. After all the fun, we had wedding duties - which were also fun because we got to spend time with Travis and Harmony! We moved Harmony from her Pasadena apartment to Travis' place in Malibu. I should say the boys moved Harmony - I could only help with packing! :) We also made programs and got all the wedding stuff ready. On the day of the wedding, Bradley did all the groomsmen stuff, while I helped decorate and coordinate all the wedding to-do's. Harmony and Travis had asked me to be the coordinator, which I thought would just entail telling people when to walk down the aisle - it was a bit more complicated - but I had a blast. At the reception, I got to sit next to Tim and Jan Willis. It was so much fun to catch up with them - and we found out Dr. Willis is coming to New Orleans in Nov. for the SBL conference, so he is coming over to our place for dinner! Overall the wedding was great - but exhausting! The happy couple...
On our last day in California, we were able to meet John, Sarah, Matthew and Abby for some fun at Sea World. It was so good to see them - I wish we lived closer to them because we also have such a good time hanging out! Abby is getting so big - she is even eating solids! Mathew is becoming such a good little talker! We were sitting in front of an aquarium and he asked me what the baby in my belly's name was - it was super cute! Sarah had told him earlier that day I was having a baby. I told him we didn't have a name yet. I asked him if he thought the baby was a girl or a boy, he responded, "babies are girls." Sea World was great - but another very long tiring day! As we were saying good bye to everyone, Matthew said, "let me know when that baby comes out and what it's name is." He and Abby are going to be such cute cousins! Here are a few pictures of the Sea World fun...
