We're back!

We’re home from California and had a fabulous time. We were in San Francisco for 4 nights and Palm Springs for 3 nights. Diego did really well with all of the plane rides and was the star of every flight. He kept me quite busy, but I was relieved that he wasn’t too much of a wiggle worm.
He had never met Auntie Asawari and Uncle Ashu so it was a really special time at their home. He LOVED playing with them and of course, they were CRAZY about him. Diego was proud of all of his tricks and was quick to show them off! Thank you to you both for such a wonderful time!
We also had the special treat of seeing Auntie Paige and Uncle Scott in San Francisco! Diego loves spending time with them and they were extremely happy to see their little guy. We can’t wait to spend more time with you in July!
We had a really special time in Palm Springs also and once again, Brownie and Ray were so excited to be with Diego. He loved exploring their condo and pushing the exercise ball up and down the living room. Brownie took us to the “living desert” which was like a zoo in the desert and we saw giraffes, zebras, wild dogs, birds, and much more and Diego barked at all of the animals – it was really cute. Thank you Brownie and Ray for an unforgettable time!
Papi missed us very much and was really excited for us to come home. He noticed a bit of a change in Diego, but not too much. Diego was really excited to see Papi and wanted to play with him for the remainder of the afternoon. He showed off all the news toys that Tia Asawari bought for him. There is one particular piece of a train set that he pushes around the entire apartment – it is his preferred mode of transportation now.
We are fortunate that Diego is such a superstar baby and that we can do all of these fun things with him. I wouldn’t consider taking such a long trip by myself if he wasn’t so easy-going. Of course he has his moments and throws little fits, but he is a happy guy most of the time. He is learning to say “No” so when I say it to him he looks up at me and says “Na, Na.”
We had a great trip, but it is so nice to be home and together as a family again!
