Wow! I am way behind this time. June was a busy month. Jake and I were traveling a bit for work. I was up in Portland to see my Dad and visit the Intel office up there and then in Santa Clara. Jake is driving all over the bay area and helped open his first Castrol Premium Lube Express in El Sobrante (a big deal to close that one!--great selling sweetie). Jake and I also went on a weekend away where Jake had planned the whole weekend driving a new Land Rover on loan from the Marin dealership. We went to Point Reyes for some beach walking and a small hike, then to Santa Rosa for some wine tasting and to a nice dinner. The next day we went on an outdoor adventure on an offroad Land Rover course in Bodega Bay. It was beautiful. Ella spent time with Nonni and Pop and had a great weekend in Danville (she event went on the boat!) The next weekend we went to a family wedding in San Diego and took Ella along. It was a fun family trip and she did great on the plane. For July 4th we just hung out with friends and did a little parade in the morning and a BBQ at our house in the afternoon. It was a very nice weekend and we're enjoying being at home together as a family. The weather has started to cool down as well so it's been great to enjoy our outdoor patio and have lots of BBQs. Ella is 10 months old if you can believe it. She is crawling everywhere and still pulling up and now standing on her own for 10 seconds or more. Jake's walking prediction is 11 months and 5 days but we'll see...
