Cute and Not So Cute





Here's an ultra cute pic of Gabby making me feel at home by donning a lamb suit. Too cute.

I've included a pic of the mongrel seagulls at the beach (which we've visted most days). They have no fear and continue to steal entire ziplock bags of food that they spy with their beady little eyes. One particular day they just kept hovering around me and wouldn't leave me alone despite numerous attempts to slap them away with my Haviana jandal. Drove me nuts. Doug confesses today that he had thrown peanuts around my towel so that they'd keep bothering me. Too funny. Why didn't I think of that first!? Haha. (Apologies to Miranda for this one but I really needed to emphasise the size of these things..compare with the larger-than-average-sized sand pail.)

And another picture of interest I've included is the toy they give to kids with their Mc D's Happy Meals in California, United States of America. That's right, you guessed it - none other than a HUMMER.

Today in particular I had a sleep-in and then fell asleep at the pool. So I'm not feeling half as tired which is great. Only 2 more days here before I fly to Vancouver on Wednesday. Will be exciting to fly to Canada...but have had such a relaxing and fun time in LA with Brooke, Simon, Doug, Addie and the gorgeous kiddos! Will be sad to say goodbye on Wednesday! Will update once I arrive in Vancouver if not before!

Hi Son,

We miss you already! Today we're off to the beach and it just won't be the same without you! No more Sonya to ward off the killer seagulls and carry beach chairs, towels, snacks, and kids.

I almost cried at the airport driving away from you... almost but then I got distracted by not being able to find the exit! Did you see me drive past you two more times in the parking lot? I tried to look like it was all part of the plan - where was that stinkin' exit?!

Okay, Ben needs his diaper changed. The smell is spurring me to keep plugging on in my day without you!!! :)

Lots of Love,
Addie and the family

Have fun in BC!

Dearest Addie,

Can you believe I missed Elmo's World this morning? And I would take Ben's diaper smells any day to hear his gorgeous giggle or Gabby's cute-as ramblings!

No, I didn't see you drive past! I would've been sure to take a photo during your time of desparation! Haha.

Oh...and I found those illegal 'fridge at Costco' pics on my camera...but they're super huge files. Want me to e-mail them anyway? Oh, and make sure you check the mail sometime this week...;)

Lots of love, Son
