July visitors

The past weekend we were glad to receive our good friends: the Lanimals (not their real last name, of course). Shelly, Chris, Charles and Ruby arrived Friday and stayed thru Sunday. Their visit was too short, but we made the most of it. CD and Chris spent a good deal of time working on the deck while Shelly and I caught up on our lives- we talked about everything! We were so glad to see Charles (I can't believe he is already 11 months) and Ruby fell in love with California and its smells.
Friday we explored the downtown area
and I finally got my car back- Shelly and I had competing Priuses.
Charlie getting ready to eat
Ruby lounging on the couch
Saturday we spent a bit of time at the beach where Ruby ran around and made us all laugh and Charles had his first encounter with the ocean
That evening we enjoyed a great dinner that Shelly and I concocted
and the evening proceeded into a fierce Boggle competition: girls versus boys.
We were leading early on and got a little cocky
the boys won in the end (it was a very close match)
Sunday arrived too quickly and after a nice breakfast out (and some more deck work!) it was time to go :(
Deck progress pictures coming soon!

Awww, Shelly's little family! I guess I had heard through the grapevine that she had a baby but I hadn't seen a pic yet, cutie! That's great that she was able to come down and visit for the weekend, though I know that's always too short. Actually my boyfriend and I are seriously considering a roadie along the West Coast in mid to late Sept. We'd love to stop by and say hi if you will be around!

P.S. I love keeping up through blogs too! Do any of the other girls from the club have them??

Wow, a move to a new state and you still see the Lanimals more than we do! What a great weekend and cute bangs on Shelly. :)
