As I mentioned a few days ago, we spent last weekend in Monterey visiting some of our favorite people. The Larrabees are so dear to us and it was such fate that we became friends back in Winston Salem. I basically tackled her because she was wearing an Army sweatshirt and Sam had just joined and I knew NOTHING (I still don’t know much) about the Army. And then we found out that we somehow lived on the same street just six houses apart and had never crossed paths but that obviously changed because we were all up in each other’s lives after that.

It’s an awesome kind of friendship where the dudes are just as close as the gals and now the kids are becoming friends. Man, we are so blessed with them.

Here is our trip in pictures. The scenery, the company, everything was just perfect. Bud had this peace about him the whole trip because he was playing just as he was designed to. He got to stay outside all day and play in the dirt and run around. It made my heart ache for PNW summers when it doesn’t rain and he’ll be able to do that.

 Here is Cullen reading to Bud, our hearts totally melted into a giant puddle of goo.
