Justin had off today, so we had a nice 4-day weekend together. Friday night we went out for Greek food; Alanna really liked sharing Daddy's gyros, she said it was, "yummy." Saturday morning we started prepping Alanna's room for painting around 9:45a. We finished by 11:15a, took a lunch break, began the living/dining room and completed painting by 2p. Not too shabby! I am really happy with the finished project. Thank you Mom and Dad for all of your help! Here is a before & after shot of Alanna's room:



Sunday afternoon we drove down to Santa Cruz. Justin and I went on a terrific date that evening. We walked to Taqueria Vallarta and then headed down to Capitola Village to have a drink at Zelda's. Of course we needed dessert too, so we stopped for ice cream before walking back to Mom and Dad's.
Monday morning we had brunch with the folks before heading back home. After Alanna's nap we went over to Brad, Susan, and Dax's house for a BBQ. Alanna really enjoyed swimming in the pool with us. Dax taught Alanna how to dip chips and veggies into dip.


The big news today was the arrival of my friend Nicole's second baby, Tyler. He arrived via a planned c-section at 7:30 this morning. I went up to visit Nicole and meet Tyler this afternoon. Congrats Wade, Nicole, and Isabella!
