Welcome!




After a long time of thinking about creating a blog, I decided it was time to start one! Since we live so far away from everyone, I thought it would be a good way for our family and friends to keep updated with us! I am excited to share with everyone how much Braden is growing and what our family is up to here in sunny California! Hopefully I will keep up with this since I was definitely never good at keep up with my diary or journals when I was younger:)


To update those who don't know, we are now in Fairfield, CA. We live about an hour from San Francisco and an hour from Sacramento. We love living out here! Besides having absolutely gorgeous weather, there are so many places to visit in this part of the country. We can go to Napa Valley (45 min drive), Lake Tahoe (2 1/2 hours away), and many places in between! We've seen and done so many new things since being here! One place we love to take our visitors is Muir Woods to see the Redwoods and then to Stinson Beach for a picnic. Talk about a beautiful drive! The drive is along in the mountains along the coast. The views along this stretch are breathtaking! While it's too chilly to swim in the ocean, we enjoy just relaxing in the sand! Here is a picture of Braden playing in the sand at Stinson Beach.
