Pacific Grove, California

After Craig finished his last final (yeah!), we left for a few days in Pacific Grove, California, our home from June 2009 - July 2010.  Our former landlords became dear friends, like family, and we wanted to see them, this beautiful part of the world without the pressures of learning Russian, and catch-up with many from our church.  It was a wonderful, beautiful, restful vacation!

Happy 2nd Birthday, Vic

December 1st we celebrated Vic's 2nd birthday.  Oh, he is such a sweetie and a hugger and a little lover.  Here are a few Vic tid-bits:
1) He loves to eat but not so much sweets.  Grapes are probably his favorite.
2) His favorite book is the Hungry Caterpillar by Eric Carle, which he calls "Hungry 'Pillar".
3) He is still a serious thumb sucker, only the left though.
4) He is a little obsessive compulsive and can get totally beside himself if his sandwich falls apart or something isn't exactly like he thinks it should be.
5) He is a talker.  If Seth says it, Vic does his best to repeat it.
6) He is just a sweetie! sweetie! sweetie! (most of the time)
