Cousin Lincoln

Natalie got to meet and hang out with her new cousin Lincoln. She appears to be a giant next to the new baby but is anxious for him to catch up so they can play.

Natalie's 1st Camping Trip

Last weekend was Natalie's first camping trip (and our first camping trip period in a while). Traveling good friends Robert and Maragaret, we tested the new tent trailer and ate too many smores.

Simple pleasures...

Currently Natalie's favorite toys include waterbottles and cardboard boxes. At this rate, we'll save a lot of $$ on toys!

San Diego Air Races

So for her dad's birthday Natalie and the family travelled to San Diego to see the Red Bull Air Races (think Nascar in the air). We also had a chance to visit Shaun's brother just south of LA and my aunt and uncle (who graciously put a roof over our heads for the weekend). Natalie took her first boat ride, swam in the pool and generally soaked in the Southern California lifestyle.Natalie and Aunt Marcia

Weekend pics

The weather was great over the weekend and we spent most of it outside. The sun came out and Miss Natalie soaked it in with her dad.

Baby Shower

Natalie joined up with her cousin Emmie for the next cousins baby shower (Scott and Elizabeth's pending arrival). Shaun and Mark opted out of the girly event so Nat and I flew by ourselves. Not too bad with a 4 month old but I have new appreciation for moms and dads making connections with more then one kid in tow. The weather for the shower was beautiful and we had a great time. Now we just can't wait to meet our new cousin.
