It has been an incredibly hard two weeks for several of our friends, the loss of a young husband and father, the passing of a precious beautiful child. Our hearts ache in sadness. I move through my days trying to make sense of such senseless grief, but there is no answer. Only that we must live higher, live deeper, and cling to what matters.

San Diego vacation
For one last hurrah before the end of my maternity leave, we took a week long road trip down to San Diego
Lots of pit stops on the road
Obengs we thought of you when we had lunch here in the middle of nowhere in California...
Our vacation pad splurge
To see the sea lions
Max was a first-runny-nose-definitely-teething-maybe-reflux hot mess and I had to do five loads of laundry on vacation, but it was still great to get away as a family and press the reset button on our regular life!

Our vacation pad splurge
Grace and David joined us for the weekend, and we loved having a live-in babysitter
Help me, I don't know why that crazy lady above is giving me those faces...
We ate very well
La Jolla farmer's market just around the corner with the best waffle I've ever had
Dinner date - my sister recommended a sushi restaurant with extremely fresh seafood. So fresh in fact that this shrimp head above MOVED! (Yes I screamed)
Evening stroll to the beach
To see the sea lions
And the highlight of the trip - Legoland!
Where Noah discovered the ride of his life
Just for 3-5 year olds, they drive completely on their own and push their own gas pedal
By the end of the morning Noah was cutting other cars off and speeding past them. We let Noah go back a second day where he drove seven more times
More beach time
Rooftop sunset view and ice cream

Transportation Day
For our family celebration of Noah's birthday, we decided the perfect day for this engine-loving kid would be to ride every possible mode of city public transportation we could squeeze in one morning...
It was quite the feat lugging two kids, one stroller, and a large diaper bag - but we did it!
Not just any train, a DIESEL train (as Noah likes to point out)
Taxicab
Subway
Trolley car!
And back on the train
