First Mother's Day

We hope everyone had a great Mother's Day.  We sure did!  Shani's family has celebrated Mother's Day in Yosemite with good friends from all over California every year since she was 4 years old.  This year was especially special because she was being celebrated too.  She has always looked forward to having a family and to taking part in the tradition as a mom. This year was wonderful!

Our best friends, Kevin and Elaine, also joined us from So Cal with their two boys for the first time.  We had a blast!  All of us stayed in a motorhome together and actually got good sleep!  Every year we go on a hike with Shani's family to a waterfall that's a bit off the beaten path.  We took Kev and Elaine on that hike and it was more treacherous than normal due to a recent rock/snow slide. They trusted us (we kind of wonder why too) enough to push through and make it to the top of a waterfall.  Yes we had the little boys with us which is what made it scary and hard.  But we made it!  It meant the world to us that they came along and we couldn't have had more fun.  We hope/expect them to join us in the future once they move back from Michigan (sorry guys :-))!

Landon also turned 12 weeks this week and will be 3 months old on Saturday.  He is now 14lbs 1oz and 25in long.  That's the 70% in weight and 85% for length.  He's quite the growing boy and we love it!   On Thursday he rolled over for the first time from his stomach to his back.  He even went both directions!  He's such a sweet and mellow guy.  Landon did great camping so we look forward to many more trips in the future.  We'll have to see how next year goes as he'll probably be walking.  That won't stop us from going though, we'll just have to make sure he stays away from the campfire!
