Pepperwood - Cousins!

EJ and Vivi had already met once before, and we were very excited for them to get to see each other again now that EJ's able to play with Vivi a little bit more.

Vivi kept trying to hold EJ's hand.  It was so cute!

Vivi was also very into sharing toys with EJ. Sometimes she would take them just so she could give them back to him. What a good cousin!

Family

          Earlier this month, EJ’s Aunt Serenity, Uncle Matt, and cousin Vivi came to visit!  (There was a little preview of this in the Balboa Park post.)  They moved from California to Rochester, New York last May, so we were very excited to get to see them again, especially Vivi, who was just a baby when we saw her last.  Now she’s a walking, talking toddler!  We had a fun week going to the beach, the playground, and Balboa Park, and spending time with Serenity, Matt, Vivi, and Pete and Serenity’s cousin Hollis and her husband, Tony.  Thanks for coming to meet EJ, Matt and Serenity!

It was a beautiful day at Cardiff State Beach.

Vivi's first time at the beach.

Babies born to such pale parents instinctively know how to hide from the sun.

Cousins!  One cousin down, ten to meet for EJ.
