What a Wonderful Week

Actually, it's been a wonderful few weeks here in San Francisco.  Two weeks ago, Daddy came home.. for good.  Life has been good.  Everything is better with Daddy here.  It took TJ a few days to get used to the idea that both Mommy & Daddy are here to stay, but since then, he's been much more relaxed.  (We all have been.)

Daddy starts his new job on Monday.  He's contracted to do some freelance work with the Pac-12 Network that is launching in July.  It appears everything is falling into place out here, but we're still keeping our fingers crossed. 

Last week, Ga & Aunt G flew in for a visit.  TJ couldn't have been happier to have them here.  Of course, they came with gifts.  Pa sent TJ a 24-piece truck puzzle.  TJ must've done that puzzle a dozen times in one day, and by the third time, he could put the thing together by himself.  It was quite remarkable.

Mommy took a few days off, and we all had a great time exploring the Bay Area.  Saturday, TJ showed them where he goes to gymnastics before we drove to the beach near our house.  It was a gorgeous day, and TJ loved burying Aunt G and Ga's feet in the sand.  He LOVED playing in the water and out-running he waves. 

Sunday, we celebrated Father's Day at Fisherman's Wharf.  It's TJ's favorite place, and he has a routine down when we go to Pier 39, and this day was no dfferent.  We stopped and watched the sea lions before going to have lunch at Bubba Gump's before riding the carousel, and saying goodbye to the sea lions on our way back to the car.  It was a windy day, but it was a great time!

Monday, we hopped on a sightseeing bus and explored the city.  It was windy and cold, but TJ had a blast.  He giggled and smiled the whole way.  He especially loved going through the tunnels.  On the last leg of the tour, he finally pooped out.  After the tour of the city, Ga & Aunt G got a tour of Mommy's work.  It was nice they were able to see where I work and meet some of my new co-workers.

Tuesday, we drove over the Golden Gate Bridge and headed to Muir Woods.  TJ was so fascinated by the Redwoods.  He looked up to the treetops and said, "I don't believe it!"  We all loved exploring the forest, and TJ walked and ran the entire 2 mile trek.  The fresh air really wore him out, and he took a four-hour nap that afternoon!

Mommy went back to work Wednesday, and Ga & Aunt got to get a trip to the Mickey Mouse store in before heading to the airport.  We are so fortunate they were able to spend so much quality time with us and see our new home.  We miss them a ton already, and we can't wait for our next trip with them.  TJ is already saying, "It's my turn to fly to see Ga & Pa." Yup. :)
