We just got back from spending a week of vacation in Oceanside. We had a great time relaxing and being together! Our place was right on the beach, so we enjoyed the sound of the waves even when we were inside. We miss it already!

Justin and Gracie on our balcony. We couldn't have asked for a better view!

Gracie and I were both happy to have daddy around a lot this week!

Here's a view of our place from the pier.

Gracie had her first ride in a "big girl" swing while we were on our trip. She loved it!

And she helped Justin build a sand castle . . . well, at least for 2 minutes before she decided she didn't like it.

Gracie loved the sand!

Our little girl is learning to sit up all by herself!

The view from our balcony.

Hanging out on the couch.

We went down to San Diego to visit the Aircraft Carrier Museum. Very cool.
