Ady was supposed to have her baby... (October 2011)

Ady was due to have baby Will on October 16. So the week before Connor turned 2 (i.e. the week before we had to pay for a plane ticket for him) we all flew down to visit my family in California and to see Ady's new baby. I thought staying 1 full week after her due date would be sufficient time for baby to arrive. It wasn't. We flew home on the 22nd. Will was born on the 25th.

But we still had a really fun week with my family.

The city of Rancho Santa Margarita (where my parents live) put on a city fair/petting zoo.




Claire and I took Jaxson and Connor to the Children's Museum in Irvine.

We also managed to fit in a trip to Disneyland. Oh how I miss this place! Connor's favorite ride was the carousel. Connor's friend Cohen (and my friend LeeElle) met us there later in the day. It was great to see them.



How cute are these boys?!


We took our annual Carver family pictures at Irvine Park. (Notice the matching ties on all the boys from Father's Day!)



We also went to Chuck E. Cheese for Connor's 2 year birthday, but more on that in it's own birthday post.

When we weren't playing outside the house, we were relaxing inside the house. Connor loved holding Sam on his lap, and playing with Jaxson all week.


A very pregnant Ady. This was taken on October 21st, the night before we left (and 5 days after her due date). She was craving popcorn balls. :)

O man! Pregnancy and delivery us such a funny time- you just never really know when the baby will come! Sorry you didn't get to see baby will. Sounds like you still enjoyed visiting and going places! Tell ADy and Jono congrats for us!

Reading your post about summer fun made me happy to hear, I remember you writing that it was hard when you first moved there and all the snow with nowhere to go. Glad the weather is nice and that you are settling in :) can't wait to see you guys!!!

That's a bummer about the timing - at least Disneyland looked like it was fun!
