California.

{Ashley and I in Vista}

As I said before, I went home to California last week. Here are some snapshots of my trip.

{Me, at 18 weeks, Jenny at 27 weeks and Ashley at 25}

I have had three best friends since elementary school. Three of us four are pregnant right now! I promise we did not plan it to be this way, but it is a lot of fun getting to do this together.

If you look below you will see how much fun I had with my mom's side of the family.

It was really hard to leave on my last morning. I miss my family and close friends so much. As hard as it was to leave San Diego again, it is really nice to be home in Columbus. I feel so blessed by the community we are a part of here.

Family Fun Time.

"There's a puppy on my puppy" Written by Larry Groupé, Le Woof Productions.

Last week I went home to California for a short four day stay. It was so nice to see my family and friends, and was hard to leave them when it was over.

This little ditty was written by my step-dad, composer Larry Groupé. I think it will be a hit for years to come with our baby. Counting by 3's and 2's and "IN ESPANOL!" (even if 13 isn't actually diez y tres, but trece...oh well).

More pictures from my trip to come.
