San Francisco

We will be heading home from San Francisco at the end of the week, and then I will have pictures to post. It has been a great trip with lots of adventures from the beach to the wine country. Jackson has yet again amazed us by making all the business minded people here let down and smile because he is staring them down and laughing. He is the one person I know who can make awkward elevator moments turn into group laughter in a matter of seconds. California is growing on us with this weather, but it will be good to be home and regroup.

Happy Father's Day!

No pictures today because we are in San Francisco, and I haven't downloaded anything, but we wanted to wish everyone a Happy Father's Day! For Brandon's first Father's Day, he could not have received a better present than being greeted by 60 degree weather and sunshine. We took jackson for a walk down by the water this afternoon, and he was in heaven as well, laughing and watching everyone. The plane ride wasn't bad either, and he made friends with everyone around us. We took Brandon to eat at a great restaurant near the bay, and plan on getting him dessert somewhere fun tonight. For now we are all going to nap and try to get used to this time zone. Happy Father's Day once again...

Preparing for San Francisco

We are leaving for Brandon's reserve duty in San Francisco next week, so we have been packing and planning for that quite a bit lately. It will be Jackson's first airplane experience, so hopefully he will do well. The only problem I can foresee is that he doesn't like to sit still for very long and crawling in the aisles is not an option. Oh well, we will have to supply adequate entertainment I guess. We tried using our wrap in the backpack position for hiking in California and it worked really well. He likes being able to see everything too.

Last weekend I had a Continuing Education class on Saturday, so Brandon and Jackson spent the day together. I had nothing to worry about because they do just fine together. Jackson claps and reaches up for Brandon when he comes home from work, so the admiration is becoming much more apparent. In addition, exploring everything in the apartment is now his favorite pastime. He discovering the cabinet of pots and pans the other day and pulled out the miniature egg pan that Brittany gave us. He is quite certain that it is his personal pan since it is so small and he can actually lift it and carry it around.

Wedding Weekend #2

We went to Austin/Georgetown this past weeked for Justin and Tricia's wedding. It was a great visit, and we were able to see the whole family! The rehearsal dinner was at The Oasis and the wedding and reception were in Georgtown, so we covered most of the area around Austin while we were there. Jackson skipped the rehearsal dinner, but he was going strong until almost midnight on Saturday. He even danced with the bride. It was really good to see everyone and the wedding was very nice.

Sporting his tie...best looking guy at the wedding!

The sunset was beautiful at The Oasis.
