We found a Park!

Here is Holdyn.... see that little person at the playground.  We pulled into the parking lot and I pulled her out and let her on the sidewalk, then I turned around and she was already there... ready to PLAY!

Holdyn meets Chuck-E-Cheese

We are lucky enough to have a Chuck-E-Cheese just down the road from our hotel.  Holdyn LOVED it.  We are trying to scope out all of the kid friendly places around.  It is hard for a 2 yr old to be stuck in a hotel all day long.  

Poor Kimber

Well, we arrived safe and sound at the Extended Stay America Hotel in La Mirada, CA on Sunday. We've got 6 weeks until we move again.   Kimber is still coughing and stuffy as ever.  Poor gal!  The Dr's think it is still an allergy, and she will eventually grow out of it.  We've got her on two different breathing treatments a few times a day to help her breathe.  Anyway, we are hoping that a change of environment and weather might help her out.  I guess we will see.  

Two more days 'till daddy comes home

Holdyn misses her daddy like crazy!  Here she is Skyping with him.  Every morning she wakes up and runs around saying "Dad here?  Dad Here?"  It's pretty cute but sad too. I can't wait until Friday Morning when she actually finds him after all of her looking.

Ben VS. Manhattan

This is my favorite picture... it gives the "I'm not from around here" look.


Ben found some Pincho's.... he was SOOO excited!
Eating a HUGE sandwich.... I LOVE that they took lots of eating pictures... he really is a man after my own heart!!!  I LOVE YOU BEN!
Here are the terrific hosts and tour guides!  Thanks guys!

It is a good thing that Candace and Richie are good enough to help Ben out in the Big Apple.  I'm sure he felt like a Deer in the Headlights being around that many people.  For those of you who know us.... we are NOT city folk.  Anyway, here are some pictures from their adventure through the city yesterday.  We don't know what we would have done without you Candace and Richie!  Thanks for everything!!

HI DADDY in NYC

Here are Holdyn and her cousin Brielle enjoying a nice warm bubble bath.  
Kimber being smiley.  We've got her on ANOTHER new formula, and this one FINALLY seems to be helping!
Holdyn sat still long enough for Grandma to put in some pink spongy curlers.  She kept them in for awhile, which shocked me. She had to take them out before she went to bed though.

Happy Birthday Dad!

We had a GREAT surprise party for my dad.  It was his big 60!  We had a lot of fun gathering people from the neighborhood and his friends from around town and church.  He had no Idea! 

Here is little miss Brielle enjoying some of Grandpa's birthday cake!

We had a house-full and loved every minute of it!  We hope you had a Happy Birthday DAD!
