Rainy Days

This past week we had a couple of rainy days. We haven't had rain in such a long time that my two year old niece and nephew really didn't remember it too much. They came over to Grandma and Grandpa's house to play and we let them go out in the rain. My mom and I went and got them some rain coats that afternoon so they were set. It was so cute to see them play in the rain. They were so exicted and wanted to just stand in the gutter as the water flowed over them. When they got too cold we brought them inside and put them in a warm bath. Everything was soaking wet but it was so worth it. It is so fun to see things through a two year old's eyes. It makes puddle jumping seem so much more fun!

Bridget had her stick and was playing with it in the water
Ethan needed some help stepping down into the gutter

"Hi, I am so cute"

He stood like that for some time

Olivia Jane Clegg

On Monday, October 5th Miss Olivia Jane Clegg was born. I was able to go up to Roseville and visit the new parents, Jen and Steve, that weekend. Olivia was even more beautiful than I could have hoped for. She looks a lot like her dad but has her mom in her a well. She is such a good baby too. She only cries if she is hungry and is such a good sleeper. I thought that I would go up there and expect to not get any sleep but amazingly she only woke up only one time a night. I had such a great time hanging out with them and Jen and Steve are such great parents. It is so awesome to see how much they love her. I love her so much and can't wait to make another trip to see my new niece.

San Francisco

At the end of September I was able to go up to Roseville and visit Jen. She was having her baby shower and I wanted to be there and to come and hang out one last time before Miss Olivia came. This was my first trip up North so I was so excited. I hadn't seen Jen since she was first pregnant so I had to come see her with her belly. Jen and Steve live in Roseville which is outside of Sacramento. They have the cutest house and it will be perfect for Olivia to come home to. We had fun getting some last minute things done for the nursery. I have never been to San Francisco before so we also spent the day there. Jen had only gone once before at night so we were basically exploring the city for the first time together. We did an amazing job for really never being there. We navigated the city and got to see everything that we wanted to.

We started our adventure at Fisherman's Warf. We went to the Rainforest Cafe for lunch which was really expensive and not very good but still fun. After walking around and doing a little shopping we saw Alcatraz and some smelling sea lions.

My new husband...Wes has been replaced.

After Pier 31 we hopped on a cable car and went to Union Square. The cable car experience was interesting. Two crazy people got on and started yelling at the driver. Public transporation at its best.

After Union Square we walked through Chinatown and saw some interesting things. Jen was amazing and I had to keep up with her. The fact that she was 8 1/2 months pregnant did not stop her one bit. We walked so much and she didn't even break a sweat.

Next stop was Lombard St. It was so cool to see. We didn't end up driving down it because all the other streets were scary enough.

Full House houses. They were a bit anticlimatic.

The Golden Gate Bridge was so cool and we got a pretty good view of it. I love that it is covered in fog even when there are blue skies everywhere else.

Our last stop was Castro St. which was so cool and I wish we actually ended up getting out. We went there at the end of the day and we were so tired. We just drove down the street and headed towards the freeway. All in all the trip was amazing and there is no one I would have rather had the experience with. I know Jen is going to be an amazing mom and it was so good to be able to have one last trip where it could be just us. I am so exicited to be able to finally meet Olivia!
