I left my heart in San Francisco . . . .

Well not really since I didn't go to San Francisco BUT I did go to LA!!! Well we all went to LA to Joes brothers baby blessing. It was so much fun! We got to see family that we haven't seen in a long time and got to meet the newest member of the family baby Katie. I am so mad at myself, I didn't take any pictures of her. I am really kicking myself now. She is the prettiest old fashioned looking baby. I say that cause she reminds me of the black and white baby pictures taken in the olden days. Gobs and gobs of hair and very dainty features. She is a doll. I got to love on Brooklyn whom I haven't seen in a year! She is so big now. I'm gonna say I'm her favorite because she remembered me from last time I saw her at like 3 months old :)  I love her to pieces. And after 30 years of waiting, I finally for the first time got to see the ocean. What an amazing sight it was. On the drive down there I enjoyed looking at the sky and the grape vineyards. On the way back to the hotel I realized what I thought was the sky I was enjoying on the way there was actually the ocean from a distance the entire time. I had no idea, they just blended into each other. It was so calming to watch and listen to the waves, they were amazing!!! We had a blast and can't wait to get back over there to visit. Thanks for having us Malcom and Lindsey!!!

The kids managed to get grandpa in on the fun

 Not sure if you can see the two tiny black dots out there but there were 3 dolphins that swam down the coast past us. They were fun to watch.

I'm honestly surprised you didn't get pics of Kate--you had your camera out a lot! I'll send you some :) I'm so glad you guys could come! And I love that you loved the beach--some people don't like it, though I can't imagine why! I love that picture of Joe too, and I'm impressed that you got it since he's so camera shy! :)

I am very,very,very sad and upset that again we were the only ones not there. We wish we could have been there. If I had known everyone else was going to be there I would have found a way to go. I miss everyone. It's not fair that we all have to live far away from each other. I am glad everyone had a good time. Little Kate is very cute.
