Wisconsin Trip

We had such a great time visiting family & friends in Wisconsin. Lelu traveled like a champ and easily adjusted to the new time zone and sleep arrangements. Luka did great considering how long the traveling days were.

Some highlights: Having everyone meet Lelu for the first time; spending time with family & close friends; Tim going hunting for 4 days with his brother on his land; witnessing the coming of Fall; and Luka getting a personal tour of a fire station with Ma'ani and Jena. Here are some pics. I recently sent a bunch out via snapfish. I'm working on some video too.

I now just have two weeks at home with Lelu before I go back to work. It's going to be a hard adjustment, but having my Mom (Gogo Anna) come out for three weeks to care for Lelu before she starts at Luka's preschool 11/1 will be a great help.

Looks like Mommy?

Lelu seems to resemble me quite a bit when I was a baby. Check out these photos of when I was 6 weeks old!

I still see a lot of Tim in her too. So far her eyes are a beautiful blue. Luka's were blue/grey until they turned brown. Tim and I both have green eyes, so we'll see what happens.

Lelu and I went to Monterey for the night with Auntie Johannah for a short ladies road trip. It was nice and relaxing and Lelu did great in the car and at the hotel. It will be good preparation for our big Wisconsin trip next week. We can't wait to see everyone!

The other night she slept for 5 hours straight! That was the longest evening stretch to date. Usually when she first goes down its for 3-4 hours, then 2-3, etc. She is doing pretty great sleep wise for her age.

Here is a cute picture of Luka playing outside at the Bay Area Discovery Museum.
