While the decision to move away from the South Bay is bittersweet, the process of packing ones belongings is NOT. We're living in a state of chaos at the moment and I'm so ready to be able to settle in to our new house. A few weeks ago my parents came down and helped us pack up the house. My mom is such a champ that the entire house was packed up in a couple of days and placed in the garage. That was such a huge help and was awesome to check most of that off my "To Do" list. But fast forward a couple of weeks and we're still living in a house that is packed into boxes. Ugh. We left out some necessities that will be packed up last minute but for the most part we're down to the bare bones. No can opener. No TV. Half of Levi's toys. We're sad to leave the only home that Dave and I have known in our (almost!) 5 year marriage but this process of living out of boxes sure makes us ready to GO! Ready for the proof?
 |
| One half of our garage is packed and ready to go. The other half houses our washer/dryer and poor Dave's office. He's so ready for a room (inside the house!!) all to himself! |

| A (terribly blurry) picture of our living room sans TV and plus empty boxes for last minute packing. |
 |
| Our only kitchen belongings... 4 plates, 4 cups, 4 forks, a coffee maker and one pan. (And a partridge in a pear tree!) |
 |
| Here is Levi living the good life despite the mess. On one of our many trips to the Home Depot for the new house, we found this great cart that Levi enjoyed being pushed around in like a King. He even waved to all of the common folk we found roaming the aisles. This kid LOVES attention! |
Despite the craziness inside our house we're getting out and enjoying some of our last official days in RB. Levi and I met up with the girls at the park last week for a play date. I didn't take any pictures (boo) but he had a blast walking all over and playing in the sand. We also went out to dinner a few times (thankfully Dave is not expecting miracles in the kitchen with one pan and a toaster).

We also got to celebrate our favorite Dad and the one who makes this move possible, Dave! I wasn't able to be much of chef so we got up early and had some baked apple pancakes at the Original Pancake House. Then we drove up to Terranea to walk off the pancakes and enjoy the million dollar views that we have too often taken for granted. We headed back to the house for a quick nap and then on the the Dodger game! This is Levi's 3rd game and it was such a special way to spend Father's day. We were exhausted by the time we got back home but hopefully Dave felt loved and appreciated. Levi and I (and baby #2) are so blessed to have him in our lives. He provides for us in so many countless and thankless ways and never fails to make us laugh. So until Levi is old enough to really say it, Happy Father's Day babe! :)
 |
| There was an empty seat next to us at the Dodger game so Levi filled it up. He also filled up on his first Dodger Dog! Levi has recently learned to clap and will take any opportunity he has to show off his newfound skill... a baseball game is the perfect place for that so he entertained our section by clapping along with every play. |
 |
| And then crashed out in the car on the way out of the parking lot. It's hard work entertaining a crowd of people! |
And one little flashback that I found on Dave's phone...
 |
Levi a couple of days old and still in the hospital.
I hardly even remember him being this little! |
