The best part of living in SoCal

Jeremy and I absolutely loved living in the Bay Area, but there were 2 major problems with living in NorCal...one, there was no way we could've EVER afforded a house, and, two, we were too far away from our family. Over the last 3 months, Jayden has absolutely loved being so close to more of our family...he LOVES spending time with his grandparents and absolutely adores spending time with his uncles and cousins.

This weekend, Daddy had a work event in LA that he wasn't planning on attending, but, at the last minute, we decided it would be fun to go up to LA and make a weekend out of it. Turns out, the work event was a disappointment, but we are SO glad we went to LA as we had an awesome weekend hanging out with the fam.

On Saturday morning we drove up to LA and spent the day with Uncle Andrew and Uncle Jamie. Jayden is in love with his uncles, and couldn't have been any happier being in LA hanging out at Uncle Jamie (and soon to be Uncle AG's) house (he especially enjoyed snuggling up with Uncle Jamie's stuffed animals).

This morning, we all headed over to Manhattan Beach to hang out with Gail and Jeff and all the cousins. Jayden was in heaven with all the toys and all the kids to play with...he fell in love with his cousin Adam, who took him under his wing and spent the day playing with him. We had a great day, and managed to make it back to San Diego in under 2 hrs (yeah for no traffic). We are all exhausted (Jayden went down for the night at 6pm), but so happy to be lucky enough to have such amazing family members so close by. Jayden is definitely one lucky, loved little boy.
