Vegas!

Right after we got back from Finland, we had another wedding to attend: Jason's sister got married in Las Vegas on the 15th. We had so fun hanging out with the family, and seeing Vegas for the first time (well, Jason had been there before). Luckily it was a short drive, and we made it back before the big storm hit.

Laura's Wedding

It has been some time since last updates. We did travel to Finland in December to attend Laura's Wedding, and to have a wonderful snowy Christmas! More pictures from the trip http://www.lukastriptofinland.blogspot.com/

Wild weather...

A big series of stroms have been pummeling Southern California this week. Water almost got inside our house too. Never seen anything like this: In one hour yesterday we got 2,9 inches (6 cm) of water - that is how much water we usually get in all of January! The biggest storm will arrive tomorrow.

Luka scores!

Getting ready for Halloween

Pumpkin patch last weekend. Fun!

Start of School

Big changes... Luka is in Kindergarten now, so our family's school career has officially started. We were lucky to have Luka accepted in a new local Magnet school focusing on technology and science. After one week, we're all very happy. Luka is making new friends, although the leap from being the oldest kid in Preschool to youngest in elementary has been tiring. Luckily the class size 20/1 is small, and his teacher is really nice. Ella continues at Harbor Trinity.

We also visited Colorado for a week before school started. It was nice to see all the friends, and be reminded what a beautiful state Colorado is...

Swim lessons

Luka does a silly jump and swims on his own for a few feet.


Both Ella and Luka have attended swim classes for the past couple of weeks. Luka is so close to swimming. Ella is getting used to being in the water. She will cry though if you say the word "dunk".
