a visit to the dog beach

The three of us have had our battle with the flu the past week or so.  It's hindered our opportunities to get out and have some fun, especially since Mama has been hit the worst.  Today however, we spontaneously decided to tell Mama's flu to take a backseat as we drove out to Leo Carillo dog beach.  Definitely a place that I have built some very fond memories - today was no exception.  

bye-bye to 2013

What a year!  Many big events this year for our little family.  The most significant?  Mama leaving work to stay home with Naomi and take on the challenge of a full-time Mama.  We bought our first home!  And we are finally starting to settle in :).  I definitely need to make a post about it.  I've made more strides in my career and of course, our little Naomi has flourished into toddler-hood.  A big year indeed.  We always try to meet the year's end and beginning at our favorite place - the beach.  This year's visit was a little more special since it's our first time really seeing Naomi take part in the festive tradition.  We have a lot to look forward to in 2014.  Naomi turns 2 in literally 3 months!  And both Nadia and I have big plans both individually and as a team.  I love the renewed sense of self that this time of year brings.
