Hi everyone! I still don't have working computer so I am using John's work one when he comes home.  I have lots to share this time around...as you can see I have lots of photos.  Let's start with our trip to Monterey this weekend.  One of John's co-workers was getting married in Monterey right on the water.  We decided to make a weekend of it with the kids with the idea of taking them to the aquarium.  Connor has never been to anything like that so we were excited to take him.  It was really different going through the aquarium through his eyes.  He was smiling and loving everything and of course everything was a "fish" sharks, jelly fish, you name it they were all FISH!  He had blast seeing things and Aubrey enjoyed herself too.  She was very chatty and making herself known to anyone who walked by.  The aquarium ended up being right down the street from the hotel we were staying.  The location couldn't have been more ideal.

The pictures above are some of our favorites at the aquarium.  After the day with the fish, we headed back to the hotel room to wait for our babysitter of the night.  One of the assistants at John's firm brought her 20 year old daughter who came to our room and watched the kids for us.  We had an awesome time at the wedding and Jake and Chrissy had the most beautiful ceremony on the water.  Congrats you two!!  We got to watch the wedding as the sun was setting and later on we got to witness the moon rising.  It truly was the perfect day for everyone.  

We got back to the hotel around 9pm since the wedding and festivities has started at 4pm...it felt like 11pm when we got home.  The kids had us up at 5am and we jumped in the car and were home by 9am this morning.

In other news...miss Aubrey is growing up.  She is 5 days away from being 7 months old, and this week she started sitting up on her own, rocking on her knees (so crawling isn't far away!), she has a tooth this is trying to come through and she has learned to roll herself onto the hardwood floors from the carpet, so she can scoot herself around (mostly backwards right now) and kind of gets where she wants to go.  It is the cutest thing and I can't believe it is all happening at once.

It has been a busy time over here!!  Hope you are all well!!
