Happy To Be Home

{Rewinding back to mid June ... right after we got back from our road trip.}


No one realizes how beautiful it is to travel until he comes home and rests his head on his old, familiar pillow. -Lin Yutang

It felt so good to be back home after a 14 day road trip. Although fun, it is always nice to come back to your own haven. I finished putting away all of my clothes and Riley's clothes too. I figured I'd better bet this done a.s.a.p. before I get lazy. I can't stand seeing things out of place.
It was a cloudy day ... so refreshing given how hot and humid it was back in San Diego. A cool 59 degree day with a cloudy sky was so welcomed plus it even rained. Yes!

This girl missed me. Cats have the funniest personalities and the most hilarious expressions. I sure love cats. I really want like four cats but I read that a litter box is needed per cat. I wouldn't want to deal with that. Sophie's funny. She loves to cuddle but she hates to BE cuddled. Like she doesn't mind if I rest my hand or foot on her but if I try to hold her she'll wiggle herself out of my arms. And she's strong and heavy too, so I just let her drop.

It was Jacob's Saturday to work right after we got back. Ugh! SO, I took my mom and sister to the farmer's market. I hadn't been to it yet and I was craving the chicken nachos so I figured I should take them. This was their last day with us. I'm sure they were also anxious to get back home.

Riley loves to hang out with my sister, Tia Claudia but he calls her Fo Cuaya. Don't know how he got that since it doesn't sound anything like Tia Claudia, lol!

Glad there's always a pizza truck at the farmer's market because I know for sure that Riley will eat that. I had the chicken nachos with lots of salsa and sour cream. It was so good. My mom and sister ate some and they both liked it. Just bummed that they don't have a restaurant that we can go to for whenever we're craving them.

We walked along the marina. Saw some people crabbing. I really really need to get one of those crabbing cages since I like to eat crab so much.

I took my mom and sister to the airport. I am so thankful and grateful for their selfless act of not minding to stay with Sydna and Nathan while we went on our road trip. Especially about cooking for them and hanging out together. Riley sure didn't want them to leave. Felt a bit sad because he didn't get to spend enough time with them since he traveled along with us.


The one thing that Riley missed the most when we were gone was not having his toys and being in his familiar surroundings. After about the third day on our trip he would tell us he wanted to go home so I know he was so happy to also be home and able to play with his toys and watch his shows.

Once a day, Sophie will give each of us kisses, well it's more like a nose kiss. If we try to do it more than once she wont kiss. Lol. Can't believe she remembers. What a brat!

Well the cloudy weather didn't last long once we got back. It began to warm up fast by the following week. The Monday after we got back was 85 degrees.

We took Riley to a park we had not been before. Here he is not wanting me to take his picture.

The park itself was nice. Sits right next to a lake and there's even a concession stand. Saw some kids swimming even. It was pretty big too. Although Riley enjoyed himself both Jacob and I didn't like the atmosphere. So I'm thinking we're not visiting again, lol.

Riley continues with his silly ways. He just comes up with some funny stuff all on his own. I believe my sister took this picture.

And this one too. She also bought him this stuffed Leonardo. He's so cute!

Trying to remember things from mid June is a bit hard especially since I was dealing with my pregnancy. Many days passed without me taking any pictures. We spent a lot of time at home, me just resting. Not much else happened.
