my 2nd birthday.

7. Went to Disneyland twice.
8. Got pregnant.
9. Had a miscarriage.
10. Moved to our first house in San Diego.

13. Captured the greatest video of William dancing.
14. Saw Harry Potter 7.2 three times (in the theaters).
15. Had tons of visitors at our new house.
16. David and I started hiking.

  8. This will sound odd, but I mentioned to my mom that I would love to take a music class with you. I'm 22, a bit out of the range for your course. Oh, and I live in Utah. Details, details. :-D

    Happy birthday from a long time lurker!

  9. Happy Birthday!

    I remember reading about those music classes you were going to teach and thinking they sounded super fun!

    We live in LA and we'll be coming to SD with our 9 month old in September. Since you're from the area and seem to be doing a great job exploring the city with a baby (well, toddler now!), I was wondering if you had any tips on places to visit or good areas to stay with a baby.

    We've gone to SD a few times pre-baby and always stayed in the Gaslamp district but that doesn't seem practical now. Thanks for any tips & if you don't have time to get back to me, no worries! :)
