2013 Still going

 The boys were having so much fun having dad bury them in the sand. Carolyne kept sticking her face in the sand.

 The Eliason aunties did a big Gymboree run and bought several pieces of clothing and shoes for Carolyne. She looked so dang cute in this dress. Our friend Shannon made her several bows which enhanced her cuteness!

 Smiling at her big brothers!

 We discovered the Cabrillo Aquarium which is free and Austin thought it was so cool to touch the sea anenomes.

 Kindergarten school picture. I forgot so he was wearing a Dodger t-shirt, whoops!

 Austin enjoyed playing soccer in the AYSO league in Fall 2013. It was run by the San Pedro high soccer team-cutest boys! He had a great time!

 I love everything about this picture! Each of the kids going their separate ways and grandma Katie trying to help everyone be happy. This is at Point Fermin. Grandma and grandpa stayed with us for a couple of months. We were going to have them live with us for a while so I could work and help catch us up on some bills but it didn't work out in the end. We are grateful for the time we were able to bond with Mead grandparents and do a lot of fun things while they were here.

 We moved back to California just in time to attend uncle Marty and aunt Amanda's wedding. Such a happy day in the Mead family! Amanda adores uncle Marty and we love seeing them both so happy. We caught a picture of baby Carolyne and daddy at the wedding!

 Potty training Axel and this pile was formed in the first 40 minutes. Good thing we had so many pairs! He learned so quickly and was thrilled to be such a big boy and stayed dry through the night right away.

Heather and Matt sent us a box of birthday gifts for everyone which was so incredibly thoughtful. they sent Carolyne this adorable outfit and she wore it to the beach all of the time and it kept the sun out of her face.
