And... We're Back

Well... Here we are in La Jolla, California. It's been almost 6 months since our last post. It really is true that the second child just doesn't get as much blog time as the first. Sorry Claire.

We have left San Francisco (it's still too fresh, can't speak of it) and are settling into life in La Jolla. We have been in our house for about 3 weeks. It's super cute, although a little cluttered - still unpacking. 

Instead of recent pictures - I'm adding these two cute shots that Aunt Joie took of Aunt Suz's wedding in March! So cute. What a different 6 months makes - Luke was at least 40% better at being a ring bearer than he was at Uncle Mike's wedding in Chico. At least he didn't throw off his hat while walking up the isle, try to climb under the bride's dress and then scream "Don't touch me, Your hurting me" when being removed from the bride/groom while they were saying their vows.  Again - 6 months makes all the difference.

Claire was super cute. Dad did a good job dressing her and she got high marks for just being so damn cute all day.

Now that everyone is married off... as Luke said that day as we were all partying, "Aunt B, when are you getting married?" As I wash bottles, prepare for tomorrow's lunch, and get ready for bed knowing I will be woken up by one of my two little nuggets - I say to Aunt B, "Take your time, hun."

More Pictures of Pangoneo

So - Claire's belly name was "Panga" after a surf spot in Nicaragua that she visited when first just a little seed in the belly.

During her belly time, Luke watched a fun little movie called "Gnomeo and Juliet". Now - when he is filled with good spirits and love with is sister, she is called "Pangoneo".

More pictures to share.

New Addition and Back to Blogging

Wow - we have been lazy bloggers over here at the Beverage Casa. It has not been for lack of things to talk about.

Here is a picture of what has been going on. Little nugget, Claire Frances Beverage, arrived on our door step in September.

Three and a half months later - we can't believe how time flies.


Looking forward to keep you posted as we move forward in the world.

Denver

Our little man is never very far from his favorite pet and role model - the monkey.

On a recent trip to Colorado we spent a few days in Breckenridge to witness two lovely people tie the knot.

We dragged the bean along even though he would have rather stayed home. Once there, of course he loved it and was able to party with some SF friends (late nights with milk, animal crackers, and nyla's dvd collection), hike up big mountains (on mom's back of course), and meet the local wild life (who can pass up an old mountain man with a wolf and a donkey?).












In addition to the mountains, we had two fabulous days with friends in Denver. The bean loved playing with his Denver BFF... zoo time and pool time, breakfast at the airfield, and a great time in general.
