Crazy California Trip


Seriously, two weeks without Mike...just me & the girls? What was I thinking? It has taken me almost a full month to get myself acclimated again to G.A. & rest from this insane trip. Hence the reason why i haven't even been on the internet, email, blog world, or facebook. This was the hardest thing I ever have done on my own (even labor!). Still, through food poisoning vomiting for 5 nights with Ella, ear infections with Savannah, all night screaming fits between them both & a sheer exhausted "mama", we managed to have some fun moments & memories...especially the one where Ella went running into the ocean, fully clothed & I didn't have any change of clothes. Totally awesome. Enjoy the craziness.
