4 to 5 months (California and Halloween)

Hello All,
Hope everything is well and you are enjoying the cooler weather. All is good with us in Atl. Work is good for both Nicky and I and the never ending list of home improvements (thanks Nicky) is continually growing with most stuff being put off. The kids are great! B is doing great at school and becoming more independent by the minute. Cala is getting chunky! Cala is in a bit of a "phase" right now, waking up more than usual at night but nothing too bad (thanks Nicky). She is also sitting up, still spitting up quite a bit (wait until you see the pic below!), and just like her big brother, always "talking". 

The majority of the pics below are from our trip to California where Cala got to meet a lot of family and friends. The trip was a blast! Nicky and I were able to go out for her birthday on Ventura Blvd, we spent a few days in Palm Springs and Autumn got to come out and visit too.

Halloween was a lot of fun as well. Nicky and I were a bit torn because we went to a wedding on Halloween night (no kids allowed) and weren't able to trick-or-treat with the kids. But we did have A LOT of fun at the wedding and the kids had plenty of fun trick-or-treating with Grandma. 


Hanging out the airport before our flight to LA. Not really sure what to say about B in this pic. 

First flight!!!


I got to give a talk at USC and JR made me take this picture with the flyer.
The kids and Nicky took a tour of downtown LA with Papa Russ while I gave the talk.

Making pancakes with Papa.
The Osorio's haunted house...
Enjoying some In-and-Out with Uncle Jake and Maddix. Not sure what B and I ate at the exact moment of this pic. 
Cala hanging out pool side in Palm Springs.
B enjoying time with his cousins. 
Our hotel in Palm Springs and a beautiful desert sky.

Our night out in Palm Springs. 




Daryl and Robert gave Cala that hat and Cala gave them some spit up. Yep, that is Cala spitting up at the exact moment of this pic.


Watching football with Papa.
Headed home :(
Cala's first play date
First Halloween! Trying to figure out what costume to wear.



Since we were not going to be able to hang out with the kids Halloween night we got dressed up the night before.


Trick-or-treating with Grandma and friends



Halloween wedding! Scuba diver and mermaid. We had so much fun. 
A walk for Bristy. Thank you SO SO much to the numerous family and friends that donated to Nicky. She raised over 700% of her goal!
