California June/July 2009

Well, we survived our first few flights with two children! We just got back from a week long trip to California to visit with family, friends and get our rental home move-in ready for our new tenants.
It was hard work but we are pleased with how the house looks. It was a bit emotional to walk back into that house exactly a year after leaving... a weird deja vu type feeling but it didn't last long since we had such a packed schedule during our visit.

I have to apologize to all the friends we didn't get to call or see while we were there. This was our first year turning over the rental house so we ran over a few problems but hopefully we'll have all the kinks worked out next time around and will have more time to visit with everyone.

Here are some pictures from our trip...

Nicole meeting Jenna...

The whole gang at breakfast, like good ol' times...


And since I'm never in the pictures 'cause I'm the photographer, I squeezed myself in this one...

Madison and Lucy

Kim and Lulu getting reacquainted...

I can't finish this post without talking about the awesomeness that was the food at our parents house. It's like eating at a 5 star restaurant every day you are there! I would tell you exactly what we ate each day but no need to be that cruel to you right before lunch ;)

p.s. There are more and better pictures of the kids at the Waltenburg blog, go check it out!
