Jane’s Neighborhood

Today, Christian and mama went to buy fabric in downtown.

Christian was into the fabric and examined all the fabric very carefully before choosing his costume.

After all the business was done, he did a little exploring/exercising between the rows and rows of fabric.

I don't have any pics, but Lucia has been diaper-free (except during sleep) for a whole week without any accidents!!  Actually, she's been wanting to wear her big girl panties to sleep, so we've been putting her diaper over them, but she's kept dry during nap and night time also!  Now, it's time to get her a big girl bed. Don't even ask where she's been sleeping!  

Our final day in SD, we had a sleepover at Jack and Oliver's house.

This is the first time Christian had spent so much time with two older boys and he loved it!

He especially loved following Jack around.

Then there was the tailgate party - kiddie style!
Just open the trunk and play with toys/

While down in SD, Christian got to play with another big Christian and Jaclyn.

Big kids have great toys, like a stuffed animal tent!

The tent of critters and softness!
Notice how baby Christian has fallen off the tent but Jaclyn and big Christian stll managed to pull off picture perfect smiles!. I think they're pros.

Big Christian also had the largest collection of Hot Wheels this side of the universe. For sure a hit with baby Christian!
Big C even gave little C two cars as parting gifts!

Time was spent waiting for the next one.

And walking the tracks.

Of course, the station had cool things for the parent folks too, beautiful Richard Serra sculptures for Christian to run around in.

The Chan Clan recently took a vacation to a land far and away! San Diego!
Woo Hoo!

Here is what Christian thought of it at first...

drive down

Well, it is a two hour drive... or a three hour drive if you drive really slow like we did.

We stayed at the La Estancia which is like staying in the middle of a park.

While Christian ran around, his mama and papa relaxed and enjoyed the time off.
