Newport Beach


Time is flying! We've been living here in Newport Beach for almost a month and it is a beautiful place (This is a picture in front of our apartments at Park Newport). It has been so nice to have daddy's workplace less than a mile away and for B to not have homework! He is enjoying his summer associateship with O'Melveny & Myers. It's not bad being taken out to eat for lunch every single day for a couple of hours at yummy, yummy places. :)


Keani does miss her friends at the University Village, but today we went on a fieldtrip with our little "Newport Mommies" group to tour a fire station. Unfortunately all the pictures taken by the firetruck were blurry, but here's one waiting in the firestaion living room before the tour. It was pretty cool, they demonstrated the 100 foot latter and we got to see a firefighter climb all the way to the top AND watch them slide down the fire pole... Keani kept saying, "WOW" "Whooo".





Keani's favorite outfit is this red kimono (from Gma Su-Lo) and her purple crocks with a butterfly on them (from Aunty Shawna and Taj). Because she doesn't have as many playmates here as she did in LA, Keani is always making sure her baby (she calls Bebee) and pink carebear and pooh bear are included in whatever we do... reading books together, putting them under her pack-n-play to take a nap when it's naptime, etc.


Keani was being quiet for a while so I checked on what she was up to and she had taken her dishes from her drawer in the kitchen, one by one, to her room. Then she took utensils and put a utensil in each of her bowls/ cups and was so proud of doing it all by herself.

OK, Keani is the cutest! I can't believe how big she is. It looks like heaven there. Looks like you're probably feeling right at home Sommi. The only thing missing in all those cute pictures is the most recent belly shot. Are you getting big yet? Love you guys!

Sommer! how fun, you blog. Me too. One of those things that has taken me a while to figure out and get into but I'm glad you have a page. I can't believe how big Keani is. Congrats on the move and new opportunities! We are going to UT on Tues and are so excited. It's so hard to be away from family. It's nice you found something close to Brett's. Talk to you later.

Hey Sommer! It's Candace - Jilene found my blog and then let me know that you have a blog too.....I can't believe that your little girl is so big, but I guess it has been a while-- I am so jealous of the beach and fun Cali stuff!

Sommer, it's Rachel! We just started blogging and I got your blog thru Jilene's. Love all the hygiene connections going on! Sounds like you're having a good time in good 'ol CA. Keani is absolutely adorable! Kim told me you guys met up a while back. Next time I'm there visiting her, we all need to get together for lunch or something!
