Fourth of July in Monterey

Josie, Eric, Ethan and Cohen have finally relocated to Pacific Grove right in time for a get together for the 4th. What is great is how close they moved to us in the Bay Area. Family close by again, hooray. 

 Playing at Mom and Dad's hotel before we went for a swim. Mom is watching Wimbeldon while playing with Hank

 Mom made delicious cupcakes and drove them up from LA, very festive

 Hank did not like how cold the water was and was furious when I left him alone in his floaty

 So cold he went to the hot tub on his own

 Cohen loved the jets and warm water too

 This was Hank's first time in a real pool/jacuzzi. I think he loved it.

 Martha and Shane pulled in at the perfect time from LA traffic

 Eric and Ethan

 Hank bonding with Shane he was confused thinking Shane was KC while we were waiting for him to meet up with us the day later

 Happy Birthday Mom, we always end up getting her clothes cause she seems to have everything else. And she looks good in everything.

 Washing Hank in the kitchen, Josie's Kitchen has two sinks luckily

In the center of the action while sitting in the tub, nothing better in Hank's book

Pizza and Disney

One weekend after Kc got out of work we met him in the city to do something fun before watching sports or relaxing at home took over our Saturday. When Anne and Mike lived in the city they went to the Disney Family Museum with our parents and said that it was pretty sweet. So I bought the tickets first and told Kc we were going second. Just kidding I text him to make sure he would go. We got some pizza at Pizzaria Delfina first and then drove over to the Presidio.

 KC psyched about the art behind him

When we got to the pizza place, he said, "this is so a place that you would pick out."

Is that a compliment or are you mocking me?

  

Hank and Walt, I was trying to see if he was in B/W would he look a part of the original image. Not so much.

 No strollers allowed, by the time we finished the museum we were exhausted carrying this fidgety guy around.

Beating the Heat

Instead of paying $5 to go to the local pool with Hank, I decided to make his bath into his personal baby pool. He loved it and put on a show. I did not even pose him for any of these pictures, he just got in some funny positions on his own.

  

 Really thinking about something

 

About 8 months

I am delayed on updating my blog. I started to create the posts, but never quite uploaded them.

 

 

Following the sun again

When Hank gets mad, he went through this phase where he would go flat on the floor and lick the ground. Weird!

KC getting home right in time to see Hank in the bath before bed

There was a week here in the East Bay where it got really hot. 90- 100 degrees is not the usual. So Hank and I spent some time outside. He was the lucky one that got to wear a tank top.

 He loves to snuggle fabric and stuffed animals like this

 Sketchy neighbors that needed a glare I guess

 So Happy!

My husbands a doctor

Life West, check! We finally get to say goodbye to schooling for Kc (except for paying back loans). It was a fun 3.5 years. Lots of studying, testing, time spent in clinic, early mornings, hardly getting to skip a class due to a strict attendance policy and free chiropractic care which was awesome. We met some cool people, moved from Alameda to the cheapest rent in the East Bay and had a baby during finals and boards. Kc has been done with classes and working for the past 3 months, but we had a great time celebrating his completion and becoming a true doctor this weekend. The rain kind of threw me off a bit, so much that I completely forgot our stroller at the ceremony in the theater, but we loved having our family come into town and join us for the ceremony.

 Dad and Mom with Hank, who is wearing a onesie that says, "Congrats Dad!" made from puffy paint

Dad caught reading what looks like a sports illustrated as the ceremony was concluding

The rain and the humidity made us all look a little sweaty and made my hair and hank's hair go nuts!

 Hank ready for a nap, not too happy to smile for a picture

 Eric and the Christensen crew, my parents are amazing fitting in three major events in two days! They are marathoners at life.

KC's San Mateo office. He is working really hard and loves what he does. He spends most of his life here now. If I want to see him I better pack a lunch and abduct him because some comatose man comes home every night that doesn't resemble KC. As everyone finds out after graduating, maybe school isn't that bad. But you have to move on at some point and we are thrilled to still be in the Bay Area. Also if anyone needs a chiropractor out there, I know an awesome one.

7 months

I made a slide show of Hank cause I have been taking a few pictures every few days.
