Traveling with the boys

We made it to CA... to the sunshine! I have to admit I wasn't anticipating how long the first 48hours would feel after traveling by myself with the two boys. Weston was great on the flight, he's getting to be such a big boy and understands what's going on so well. Merrick on the other hand is at the impossible age to sit still, reason with, discipline, or keep distracted for longer than a few minutes. That combined with an ear wrenching scream, definitely wore me out (and the rest of the plane passengers).
We're enjoying our time down here and loving the sunshine. Chelsea, the little dog we're taking care of is Weston's new best friend, on and off again with Merrick, and quite the entertainment. We've been to the beach a few times and Weston loves it! He's crazy in the waves, sand, and just loves being here.
We've tried to explore the 'wilderness' of South Bay and found some cool places to explore. It's definitely not nearly as fun without Daddy and we can't wait until he gets here this weekend. Tomorrow we're picking up Auntie (my little sis, Emily), and checking out her apartment and kitties. I can't wait to spend some time with her.

Good to read your update and hear you survived the flight. I am sure it was harder (the screaming) than you are letting on! :) Been there...
so we hope you guys have a great trip. Owen's b-day was fun, even though it got totally rained out, but we missed you guys! Give Cali a big kiss for me.
