Time Away

 We just got home from a wonderful time away with family! First we spent a few days in beautiful Camarillo before heading up north to spend a week with our Manteca fam. Summer gets pretty busy around here with summer camps, retreats and all the fun stuff that goes along with student ministries so we cherished some "down" time before the fun begins!

We had a lovely beach day with big waves and lots of sea life to watch. Gabriel took a little bit to get over his fear of pretty much everything, but after 30 minutes of crying he was busy playing in the sand with brother.

While in Camarillo I had been experiencing some significant pain and decided to have it check out before we headed up north for a whole week- while in the Ob's office the Dr. found I had pulled a muscle in some scar tissue and also saw that we are expecting another boy! Sadly I was in the office by myself but that gave me the opportunity to surprise Andrew with the news. So I popped into Macy's and picked up a few baby boy things and wrapped them up. When I got back to the condo I handed Andrew the box and told him it was an early Father's Day present. He opened the box and looked at the contents for a few moments and then started to cry with a big smile on his face! It was such a sweet moment :)

When the boys woke up from their nap we had them open the box and guess what gender the baby is- they were very excited as well!

We are so blessed by our 2 little monkey's and are so excited to see our quiver filling up with little boys! We are trying to cherish these baby days because before we know it our boys will be men 

(Yikes!)

While at my parents condo we also enjoyed extended time at a few different parks, eating at different restaurants and having daddy home all day with us. Then we got ready to head to Manteca and the boys were BEYOND excited to see their cousins whom they had been missing since we saw them at Christmas.
