I am back from my trip to San Diego! It is really good to be home. It was a very busy 4 days, but also a very exciting and inspiring 4 days. San Diego was beautiful – 80 degrees during the day and sunny and bright.

Dad gets home on Tuesday – he will have been gone almost 2 1/2 weeks. What a crazy November we've had.

The kids fared well in our absence. Nana held down the fort and the girls were helpful and self-sufficient. N had his last soccer game – they won! – and a playdate with Cole and a visit from Grampy today.

Here are a few pics:
