Goodbye England...Hello California!

**totally forgot I had this post unfinished....here it is 3 months later :)

We got back from our cruise on 3 July and the next few days were filled with mailing off the last off our stuff, meeting up with friends for dinner, and out-processing from Lakenheath. So many memories...but so ready to be back in the U.S. of A.
Yes, we are moving somewhere....
David Grant Medical Center...my new workplace.
Elsa loving the CA sunshine. Fortunately she was not walking when we arrived as I can't imagine how much more difficult the 12 hour flight would have been. But, within a few weeks she went from zero to 60. Meaning, she never really took any steps at all...and, then one day stood up and walked across the room.

Elsa loves her baby. She is so affectionate and gives her hugs and kisses all day long.

We lived in TLF (temporary living facility) for 9 weeks after we arrived. I was thankful for it since it was inexpensive, but it was a LONG 9 weeks. Especially for Aaron. It became increasingly more difficult to keep Elsa entertained. Thank heavens it is over.

We drove down to visit our friends the Griffiths. Elsa and Chloe were instant BFFs.

Spent the day at Half Moon Bay

Then, we took in a minor league baseball game in Stockton.
Elsa loves hats!!
Went to the Sacramento Zoo.

We moved in on 9 Sept and we were so grateful to have Aaron's mom fly out that weekend. She kept Elsa entertained while the movers were unloading our stuff and helped clean and unpack....definitely couldn't have done it all with out her! Unfortunately, I don't have any pics of her visit. I am such a bad daughter-in-law!!!

When my sister Brittany moved out here (yes, she is living with us) and my mom and Hilary drove out with her Aaron took them to Bodega Bay. I unfortunately had to work. It sounds like Elsa LOVED the beach!
