Peters Family Blog: California Adventures

I've been a little slow in my picture taking lately. With all the unpacking and reorganizing going on here, I haven't whipped out the camera as often as I should. But there's still a few from the past few weeks, when I catch Boo doing something funny.

The weather has been wonderful here, and Jer and I have been bbq-ing all the time, which I really missed in NY. Jer bought a new wood pellet grill and has been smoking a lot of our food lately which is so delicious! We've had a busy few weeks since the 4th of July. One of our cats decided to get lost for the day, and the other one decided to slice up her foot, requiring a hefty vet bill. She's been in a cone of shame for over a week now, and I feel pretty bad for her. We also bought a new car, rescued some baby birds, sold a lot of stuff on craigslist, and found some new parks and activities to take M too. We're settling in to our life here pretty well and it's been fun visiting with friends and family we haven't seen in so long. Mackenzie has been great, and has been learning peoples names, and is very good at waving hello. She also has been very generous lately when mommy asks for hugs and kisses. Her vocabulary is growing so quickly everyday. New words include: Elmo, owl, spinning, stomping, and basically trying to repeat most of what we say to her. She also definitely lets us know when she needs her blankie, by saying "baggie!" which is required when she sucks on her finger.
