The rest of the week

So we had so much fun at Legoland. Promptly that evening Gretchen started to vomit and has continued to do so until last night.

Sean came into town for the weekend on Friday (volunteering to get bumped and earning a $400 voucher to come back in 2 weeks for free). We took the kids to the beach Friday and they loved it. Gretchen was able to pause her sickness while we were out. Except, she was not able to be calmed down post beach for almost an hour. Sean and I waited in the Scripps emergency parking lot until we decided she was going to be okay. Saturday got to see Jenny. She and I went to a raw vegan restaurant (my crazy idea) and then sated our hunger at Pannikin with 2 unbelievably good mochas. We met up with the rest of us and took the kids to the park and my dad made an awesome rib dinner. So much for meat free.

Today, we did nothing. And it's been great. Well, not nothing. I tried to get another mocha from Pannikin but San Diego has been so crowded this weekend the line was waaaay too long. Patrick, Dad and I decided to check out the Leucadia farmers market. We're sitting in the backyard listening to the wind, watching Patrick run in circles, Patrick somersault and Gretchen follow.

She's finally better (we think) and our regularly scheduled vacation can commence as planned. We're cooking up some farmers market burger meat, grilled onions, sauteed mushrooms and fleur de sel caramel sauce on our ice cream. Yum.

Snacking on fried eggolant

He saw one at Safeway and has been begging me to eat it today. He cut it up an even asked me to open the pantry for something to add. Guess what he chose? Remember, he can't read...Italian seasoning. I swear he's going to be a chef someday. We fried it up with garlic and now we're eating it out of the pan with our fingers.

Married 9 years!

I was telling Patrick about what it means to get married yesterday. You know...when you find the person you love sooo much that you want to live with them forever.

Patrick: I'm going to get married

Me: You are?

Patrick: Yes

Me: To who?

Patrick: You

Say hi

Gretchen and I were playing quietly on the bed. She rolls on her back and looks at me, shakes her hand up and down and says "say hi."

So sweet

We taught her

How to use the "more" sign. She pretty much uses it for sweets, strawberries, blackberries and this morning...pears.
