Feeling better

On Friday, Cora finally was fever-free, after having a high temperature at various times Monday through Thursday. In the afternoon, we went to a Mom2Mom gathering at the Patios area of the mall, where a new outdoor children's play area has opened. 

We had a sweet treat before heading to the local Pony League fields to watch neighbor friend David play baseball.  Here, Chris and Cora watch the game while eating that ballpark favorite, sunflower seeds in the shell.

 On Sunday, we celebrated Owen's fourth birthday with pizza and cupcakes. Owen seemed to like our gift - Iron Man walkie-talkies, which the big kids soon grabbed for their game of "secret agent."

 On Monday, with Cora finally back in school, Violet and I drove out to La Verne to visit with JT, Jim, Callie and baby Jonah.

Excuse the blurry photo here, but it goes without saying how much of a challenge it is to get three children under three to look pleasantly at a camera at one time.

JT and Jim made the HUGE move back to California one week ago! It has been in process for a couple of years, and we are so happy to have them back.

While they get settled, they are staying with JT's parents, whose children's video collection entertained Violet and Callie for a while.

We had a nice morning catching up before having lunch together. I look forward to many more such meetings. Welcome home!
