San Diego, Sneak Peek.

Playing with Auntie. Yes, she is actually lifting him up with one arm. Just thinking about that makes me pull a muscle right now. What is with second pregnancies?
Daelynn, overdue and still looking fabulous.
One more time!! "Oh when the saints! Go marching in!"
Such a big world out there.
This swing was located on the back porch of one of the little cafes in Julian. We shared pie and boys got to run around and play. Thankfully it was a little chilly so for the most part we were the only ones out there, and they could be as toddler-ish as they wanted. It was a nice reprieve from all the little stores with breakables everywhere. Which by the way, little boys don't necessarily like to visit. In one store the clerk had to tell Ethan to get up off the floor. He was on all fours and grunting and snorting and making all sorts of embarrassing sounds. At this point I was thankful he wasn't pulling the little glass salt and pepper shakers off the shelves, so I let him be. His response to the lady was, "But I want to play pig!" And then we left.

Julian is a sweet little town full of tiny stores, yummy cafes and lots and lots of tough people on motorcycles. In this particular store, full of candy, syrups, and ciders, Ethan managed to dump an entire bag of jaw breakers all over the old hardwood floor. I watched in mommy shock as they bounced and rolled and clattered like marbles and everyone in the busy store did a little dance to try and keep from stepping on them. The one clerk rolled her eyes and I wanted to scream. If she ever had kids, it obviously was a lifetime ago. In fact, I doubt she ever was a child herself. But the other clerk was sweet and didn't make us pay for the busted bag, or make us feel like morons.
