Camping in Bodega Bay

Shani and the boys went camping with her parents in Bodega Bay over the weekend.  John was in Michigan visiting best friends of ours who have been out there for the past few years.  Thankfully they are moving back to California in a couple months!  We miss them terribly and wish we could have all gotten to go out and see them.  Although we'd love to share the abundant pictures that John took on his trip (all of beer or breweries) we (Shani) thought you might get a little bored.  Of course here are a couple as he had an absolute blast spending time with Kevin, Elaine, and their boys.  

Shani described their camping trip as interesting but fun.  No, it's not because the boys are bad campers.  A little before they left Landon accidently scratched his "peepee" which got infected and caused him tons of pain when he urinated.  This made for a very difficult trip of trying to get him to go to the bathroom so he wouldn't cause more serious issues by withholding.  Every time he had to go to the bathroom it was a battle, every time he wouldn't go to the bathroom was a battle, every time he bathed it was a battle.  So in that sense it was very frustrating.  Other than those times, it was really fun!  The weather was a bit windy but beautiful.  Camping will be much easier though once Carter is walking... and not putting everything into his mouth!

This month Carter also turned 11 months!!  He's such a sweet boy.  Although he's going through quite the "mommy" stage making it a little difficult for Shani to get a break.  He still continues to be all about Landon, something that drives Landon crazy.  He continues to sign well and eats a ton.  He's crawling all over the place and creeping along things.  It's difficult to get pictures of him without his thumb in his mouth, although we think those are cute too! So crazy for us to wrap our head around the fact that he's going to be one next month!
