JUNE

June was a momentous month since Ryan graduated, we left Washington & started getting settled in to our new house in San Diego.

1ST TRIP TO THE BEACH
We had gone to the beach before in Seattle, but not to swim, so Joshy wasn't sure what to make of it all when we first arrived at the beach in San Diego.

Even though the water was very cold, he warmed up to the idea of getting in it.

Daddy & Joshy ended up having a great time splashing in the waves together. (Mama thought it was much too cold & watched from the shore.)

Joshy's favorite thing about the beach was all the sand!

He thought it was so funny to be buried in the sand by Daddy!

Joshy even found a leaf bug at the beach, which he thought was quite interesting.



ON A DATE!
Ryan & I have gone on very few dates without Joshua in the past year & a half, so we felt very lucky to have some willing grandparents watch Joshua while we went to a play. It was super fun, especially since it was at an outdoor theater, so we got to sit outside on the grass & eat pizza in our seats before the show started. We'll definitely have to do that again!



AT THE GRANDPARENTS' HOUSE
Joshua & I flew down to San Diego from Seattle and spent a few days at my parents' house waiting for Ryan to arrive in the car.

Joshua found a new use for the basket in the middle of this Lego table. :-)

Every time we put this Darth Vader hat on him we chanted the Darth Vader theme song, so now every time Joshua puts anything on his head on he sings, "doo doo doo doo doo doo."

He loves helping Grandpa feed the birds & the turtles.



AT MISSION BAY PARK
We had so much fun playing on all the playground equipment at this park. Joshy especially loved being pushed on the "wee."

Here he is hiding in a tube.

And climbing on a net.

Looking cool in the car.



UNPACKING
Once we moved in to our house, we had a lot of things to unpack, which Joshua enjoyed helping with most of the time.



GRADUATION!!!
After 4 years of a lot of hard work, Ryan graduated from medical school. I am so proud of him!

Here's Ryan & his proud little pseudo-graduate.



CA GRANDPARENTS VISIT WA
My parents flew up to Washington for Ryan's graduation, so we took them to Whatcom Falls to show off some of the beautiful greenery that the area is known for.

Joshy thought it was so funny when Grandpa made it so the leaves brushed his little face.

Joshy & Grandma both thought this log was a great place to hang out.

Joshy loves his daddy.

Here's our little family (even the twins) getting ready to go down the slide together.

Joshy loved jumping on the trampoline with his grandpa. I think Grandpa thought it was pretty fun too.
