Becca and Chelle
We are Canadians living it up for the time being in California. My husband works for a University down here .
I am a stay at home mom to one beautiful, adventurous toddler. My daughter and I go on some crazy adventures, exploring our local sites and playgroups! I also just discovered we are expecting again! After suffering a terrible miscarriage last year, I am totally freaked out, but trying to enjoy every moment!

Lights and Tired Kids

This post is from from my other blog here

We took the kids to the Parade of Lights again this year. Thankfully it did not rain like last year. We had a great time, although the parade itself was a tad long. The kids are so exhausted, it is cute. Fun to go out “late” once in a long while with them.

Me & the Kids

So I did cut a good 7 inches off my hair. It is shoulder length and I like it. I miss the dramatic length but I know this will be easier to maintain at the moment.

My tummy is still way upset but I just keep ignoring it and moving forward. Plus my arm has had a terrible reaction to the vaccination. It is all swollen, hot to the touch and very sore. Not fun.

Still one more day of the weekend. I hope to relax a little more tomorrow. J had to go into work today to give a tour & demonstration to parents and prospective students, so I was solo for a while.
