Friday in the Park with Gus

Wednesday, September 30, 2009







Our friends Rebecca, Bart and Gus from the old neighborhood moved to Brooklyn when we went to Atlanta. Lucky for us, they just moved back to L.A...two days before we had to leave town. Talk about good timing! We spent a hot, lazy afternoon eating ice cream and hanging out in the park with Rebecca and Gus.

The Bu!

We had an awesome afternoon playing on the beach at Jaxon's house in Malibu! Jaxon's mommy Trisha, Grandma Grace, friend Campbell and her mommy Jenny joined us for the fun.

Oh how we miss Malibu.

Swimming at Ella and Annabelle's house


Auntie Kathy, Ella and Annabelle and Auntie Kyle, Seamus and Audrey came over to our house in Santa Monica for lunch. Hilarity ensued.




We love L.A.!

Apparently, the paparazzi caught wind that we were hanging out at Coldwater Canyon Park with 30 of our closest friends and their cute kids. OK, so maybe they were a little interested in Gwen Stefani and Gavin Rossdale and their kids too.

Friends, babies and friends expecting babies

This was a common occurrence in Los Angeles...rarely, if ever, seen in Atlanta.

The key to traveling with young children...electronics.

After Eliza got up at 4 am, Cali time, Daddy took the girls for a walk to the beach while Mommy napped.

There's an awesome yard and back deck at our rental house. This is the girls' craft center. So far, we've eaten every meal outside. Nice!

Aarrrr! Megan and Eliza playing Play-Doh pirates.

Our friends Laura, Gary, Megan and Adam stopped by to see us!

We had an awesome time with our friends Michael and Julia and their boys Charlie and Elliot at their house in Santa Monica! Here are Charlie and E making crowns.
