What is not to love about those smiles?!
A ten hour drive to see these little guys would be worth it every day. I think that I am going to make Thanksgiving in LA a tradition, well for at least as long as Jim and Megan live there with the smiles pictured here.
Getting away to California was just the break that I needed. I think that being away for Thanksgiving was just the ticket to help me make it through a wedding and Christmas without an emotional breakdown (that is not a promise, just a hope).
The drive down and back was fun and Mike was nice enough to let me talk his ear off for 20+ hours. It was a much more exciting Thanksgiving than I would have had if I stayed here. I even tried to take Luke running with me in the collapsible umbrella stroller. Wish I had pictures of that. I think he is the most entertaining running partner I have had in a long time. The only "person" I have ever run with who talks more than me.
We went to the Tide Pools, played games, read books, ate turkey, had dinner on the beach, watched the BYU game, and slept in small doses, but it was worth it to wake up to a little face looking at me through the bars of the crib. Before I made it to my brothers house I got to watch Mike and his friends run a 10k. I thought I would want to run (and I wanted to just a little bit), but really it was just fun to watch the race and they all did a great job.
I can hardly wait to see them again in a couple of weeks. I think they are my biggest fans. It was nice to feel needed.Does anyone know where I can just buy a few little ones like this?
I'll save all my money and stop shopping at Banana Republic if that is what it takes. Sign me up for reading books, using baby powder to get sand off of dirty feet and cleaning up jello off the floor. Not glamorous, but sounds like a dream come true to me. Oh, and if I could live next door to Megan and have the example of the best mom in the world that would just be icing on the cake.
Side-note: Jim & Megan. . . sorry you didn't make it in to any pictures -- sure you are really sad about that.

I'm so glad you decided to go to California for Thanksgiving. It looks like it was definitely the best choice! I love those hats with horns on them, where can I get some?
