American Girl Store with Isabelle and Brynn

We've had a fun last couple of weeks. I had a girls weekend away with 3 of my good friends. Between the four of us we left 9 kids with their dads for the weekend. We had fun lounging at the pool, shopping, and going out to eat.

This past weekend my cousin Laura came out to visit from Missouri with her daughter Isabelle. We had a marvelous time, and made some fun trips to Sea World, American Girl Store, and lots of extended family time.

Sledding San Diego Style

We had a fun afternoon on Sunday at Moonlight Beach. The weather was in the 70's on the coast. The kids took their boogy boards sledding down a big sand dune. It was a riot to watch. Those kids are little beach bums. It was good to have a relaxing weekend because it has been a hectic week. I had Spanish class on Monday, and studied a good part of the day. Tuesday I worked, and then headed down to Mary Birch Hospital to do my yearly competency stuff. Yesterday I worked again and had a student nurse with me, which always makes the day longer and more tiring. It was fun though. I only slept about 5 hours last night and did some volunteering in Brynn's class today, so now I'm pretty pooped. I even took a little nap this afternoon. I'm looking forward to tomorrow, my parents are coming down and spending the night. We have a fellowship dinner at Calvin Christian tomorrow night.
