Mommy Time in Napa, California

No, it is not the fog, I actually took this one in black and white. The Golden Gate Bridge was awe inspiring and very shaky. I only made it about 1/4 of the way out.
The winery above is Clos Pegas. I don't actually like any of the wines they produce, but in terms of vineyard and winery, it is gorgeous and very impressive to look at.
The view from the tasting patio at Round Pond Winery. They are relatively new from my understanding, but I found a fantastic Blood Orange olive oil there!
So, as you can see from the pics, I just got back from a week in Napa Valley and San Francisco. My mom and two sisters and I spent our time tasting fabulous wine and fabulous food. Not a bad way to spend a week! Kevin took the kids to Kansas to visit his family for a few days and they had a great time!! Lots of time playing with cousins and they were even treated to the famed Mexican Fiesta. Apparently, M. loved the burritos (what doesn't she like?). P. was extremely excited to get an early birthday present from his Aunt and Uncle and cousins. We now have Anakin's Starfighter proudly displayed on the dresser with the rest of the Star Wars fleet.

M. has learned to go up and down the steps while at Grandma and Grandpa's and she has continued to show off her skills here at home. This is a very good thing as we can now get rid of the 4x6 boards that we've been using to block the stairway.

P. and K. are both doing extremely well in swimming lessons. P. is actually swimming using strokes! He can swim freestyle now and K. is able to swim with her face in the water without breathing it in. They are doing AWESOME!! We are very proud of them.
