Did I mention how much I love California?!!! Maybe once the weather turns cold and dreary I will get really homesick but there is so much fun outdoorsy stuff to do here. (I can see my mom getting antsy reading this...don't worry mom, we will move back to Texas when the year is up!!!).
Let me start with Friday....in the morning Bella and I went to the public library for story time. I didn't expect much but was surprisingly impressed with how interactive they make the 30 minute session. There were about 15 kids ages 4 months to 2 years. The lady read two stories and we sang lots of songs. Bella had a ball....she just stared intently at the lady and smiled during the songs. I met two very nice girls one of whom has a son a day younger than Bella. So needless to say this will be our new Friday morning activity.
David got off work just after lunch on Friday (WHAT???? unheard of!!!) so we went downtown where they were doing a little theatre in the park production of Snow White. We whipped out our blanket, cuddled up on the hill and just marveled at how intrigued Bella was with the show. She really takes things in and pays attention to things I wouldn't think she would care about.
Saturday we took a day trip to a town about an hour away called Gilroy. David and my family had driven through it on the way to California from Texas and had got a whole bunch of fruit from these little fruit stands. David said it was a really pretty area so we decided to spend the day out there. He was right, there are miles of fields with gorgeous mountains as the backdrop. Here are David and Bella picking out some corn:
Gilroy is also know as the "garlic capital"....and wow is it whiffy!!!! That is a lot of garlic and it permeates into the car like you wouldn't believe!
Gilroy also has a huge outlet mall. It is divided up into 4 sections and it took us 5 hours to walk the whole thing and we didn't even go into that many stores. Bella got awfully tired of being stroller confined but seemed to like the ride on daddy's shoulders just fine!
To my uttermost delight Bella slept in to 8am (normally 6:30) this morning!!! Guess we tired her out yesterday. We went to the the same church as last week but the branch that is in the town we live in. Since Bella is now quite the squealer we can no longer have her sit with us during the service so we put her in the nursery for the first time ever today. Yes, mama had a little tear in her eye saying goodbye but Bella did just fine. I would also like to say that today we FINALLY got the last box unpacked....we are officially moved in!!
