Sleepy-time Girl

Catherine and Catalina

I guess she fell asleep reading 'Peter Pan' to Simba

Usually Truffles is under her head like a pillow. Not sure what happened this night.

A word from Mommy here. I just can't resist taking Catherine's photo when she is sleeping. She is just so darn sweet and sometimes she falls asleep in the funniest positions. She sleeps so soundly that even the camera flash doesn't wake her up. I just had to share these pictures of our little sleepy-time girl.

Riding on the Tagalong Bike

We have a really cool new bike for me that attaches to Daddy's bike. It's called a tagalong and it's awesome! I have my own pedals and handlebars and I can pedal along behind Daddy. We rode all over the neighborhood last weekend and yesterday we rode downtown to the farmer's market (and put our produce in Mommy's new basket) and then on to the playground. I love the tagalong!

New Year's Weekend in Morro Bay

Can you see the Monarch Butterflies?

We decided to take a little trip for the New Year's weekend and drove a couple of hours north to the town of Morro Bay. It was a beautiful place, with wonderful beaches and playgrounds and a huge monolith right off the shore. We played in the sand, flew the kite and took long walks on the beach.

Flying the kite

On the way back to Santa Barbara, we stopped in Pismo Beach at the Monarch Butterfly Grove. It was amazing! Every winter the Monarchs return to this part of California and everywhere you looked there were beautiful butterflies. They were flying overhead and were covering the Eucalyptus trees. Look hard at the pictures and you can see the bright orange of the Monarchs. It was so cool!
