Fun Visitors!

We have had the pleasure of Adam's Dad, Bob (Pop Pop), and his wife, Lauren (Memere, or as Owen calls her: Mimi) renting a house in Goleta for this month. They got to escape the snow in Rhode Island, and now understand why we choose to live here. The year round farmers markets, warm beach days, and winter sailing are just few of our perks. Owen is getting a chance to get to know some of his east coast relatives a little better in person than through a computer when we Skype.

Pop Pop is wearing the eyes from Owen's "Mashed Potato Head" (Yes I typed that right, he will not say "Mr. Potato Head" for some odd reason?Mimi is playing Peek a boo with Owen in his carboard "fort" that Pappy made him : )

While they are here, lots of other family has come, and is still coming to visit too. Adam's Uncle Billy and Aunt Betty came the second week of their stay. They had some major travel delays on getting here since there was so much snow in Pennsylvania (where they were flying from) but alas, they made it. I had to work, but Adam took them all for a walk to see the monarch butterflies that come here every year as part of their migration. Afterwards, they headed to the bluffs overlooking the beach. Here are a few pics of their stay. Sorry no pictures of Betty, they were either too far away or fuzzy : (

Since I wasn't here for this picture, I am not sure if they are pretending to fly, or he's telling Owen not to run off the cliffs (which I understand Adam had to tell him at some point).

This week, Lauren's family is here for the week and she has a darling niece, Emily (who Owen has quite a crush on) and a sweet nephew, Max (almost 3 years old). Pictures to come. Next week we get to see Adam's brother Dan, his wife Becca and their cutie pie 7 month old Riley! Expect more pictures this month!!
