What's new?
It's December !!! And we're still wearing flip flops 99% of the time. Sometimes even shorts !!
We had a great Thanksgiving with family and friends - and then woke up at 3:45am for black friday sales.. Have to say, it was a crazy, caffeine fueled morning !!
Totally looking forward to our visit to the East Coast mid-December. We'll be out that way for 2 weeks. List of places to eat: Margarita's Pizza, Giacomo's Pizza, Thrashers Fries, Friendly's etc.. We might even hit up Long Island so Tiff can check out Time Square and the sights of NYC.
So we're settling in for the night. We just got back from a nice 3 miles walk and made killer brownie sundaes. Off to movie land.

Josh has a girlfriend?
Looks like the little Josh-meister might possibly have a girlfriend !!
Uncle Blake and Sarah came down the other weekend to hang out. Josh (being the ladies man that he is) swept Sarah off her feet.
We also took a ride over to Santa Cruz for the day in search of some East Coast pizza.
Baywatch?

A Week In Review...
This is a big week for our family... This past Tuesday marked the one year anniversary of the day we officially became a trio. Josh had his first birthday on the 28th. We celebrated with birthday pancakes and peanut butter sandwiches (although these pictures don't necessarily capture his enthusiasm for either, I promise he loves both).
Josh had his 1 yr check-up the very next day and he weighed in at 18 lbs and 29 in long. Meme will be happy to know that his height bumped up from the 10th percentile to the 25th percentile this visit! It looks like he's following in his cousin Katie's footsteps though in the weight department, lol. Grandma and Grandpa were traveling back from Chicago on Josh's birthday, bringing a very special birthday present back with them, so we're going to be celebrating with cake and presents this weekend. More pictures to come on this topic!
In other news, you all know by now that we sold just about everything we owned before moving out to California in the Civic and Corolla... here is a picture of us moving into the apartment - everything we owned is in this picture, including the kid.
We made our monthly trip to Costco this week. We, like any other family nowadays, are always looking for ways to make our dollars go farther. This month we opted to buy produce in bulk from Costco instead of bi-weekly from the grocery store or local market. Believe it or not, a 10 lb bag of carrots costs the same at Costco as a 2 lb bag does at the grocery store... this, along with celery, green beans, corn, apples and bread was bought in bulk, chopped up and frozen in dinner-size portions for later. Here's how the freezer looks all stocked up.
I know, there should be WAY more ice cream, but all the butter goes to cookies. :) Mike did all the hard work of course, peeling the carrots and apples.
Last but not least, who knew a basket could be so much fun?
