Greetings from California!

Well, for the past few days Tommy, Nanna and I have been in California for Aaron's baptism! It's been jolly good fun, and nice to see the family. I'm going to post some pictures and (hopefully) a video of Tommy getting to touch the Pacific ocean!
The first day we went to the LA Zoo, and got to see lots of fun animals. Tommy's favorites were the flamingos (I think because they were so brightly colored). We had to buy a "leash" for him (a backpack with an attachment to help control where the kid goes), but Tommy actually liked it because then he could be on the ground--he was just limited as to how far away he could roam!
We spent a lot of time just hangin' out with the cousins, but on Saturday we went to the beach, where Tommy got to touch the pacific ocean for the first time. He really liked it! If his Daddy had been there he would have been able to go a lot farther into the ocean, but sadly his Daddy had school :( (We missed him so much!)

Tommy also got his first basket from the Easter bunny (which had eggs filled with fruit snacks). Mostly he was just excited to get the eggs, or "balls" as he refers to them.

We fly home on Monday, and it'll be nice to be home! Vacations are great, but they can be exhausting.
