The McNosky Blog: CA Weekend Pictures

What a week I've had! SO much has gone on from our quick weekend to CA, recooperating from the weekend, getting sick (ear infection & sinus infection) my good friend Kristin had her Baby, Asher... decorating her nursery, Valentine's and MORE. man oh man, what happened to me having time off??

Amy, Rilee, Mason & I headed out to California on Friday and came home Sunday...what a fast weekend! Mason was teething SO bad while we were there. Sad to say, he's never cried so much!! I dont think there were enough teething tablets or tylenol to get rid of his pain. He was just cranky all weekend. He cried at the littlest things (except the beach, he enjoyed that too much!) He cut one of his cuspids over the weekend, I'm not quite sure how many teeth he has right now. All i know is it hurts him! He's got his 8 front incisors top and bottom, top 1 year molars, not sure if he has the bottom ones yet (trying to see in his mouth is next to impossible except when crying!) and he cut his bottom right cuspid this weekend and looks like he's starting on the left too. So I'm sure the top will be soon too! Poor kiddo, its rough! Cathy told that if adults went thru the teething that babies do, they would have to be put on serious pain medication! YIKES!

Besides the crankiness and teething, we had a great trip. We got to stay in my Dad's new house on the beach (we dont call it the beach house, because its SOOOO much more than just an average beach house! its AMAZING!) The house is in Corona Del Mar (Newport Beach) its down in China Cove and 40 feet from the sand! Its a nice quiet cove with lots of history and so much to see! The house is 3 bedrooms, 2 1/2 baths and SO nicely done, my dad did a great job finding it! And congrats to him to accomplishing something like purchasing a beach house! My mom would have been in heaven there (hee he hee!) and boy would she love to see the babies having fun on the beach! The great part is, we've got a great place to stay now and we can make several trips out this year and see all our family and our wonderful friends (the Davis') that much more now!!

Besides playing on the beach (which Mason absolutely LOVED!!!! I couldnt keep him OUT of the water!!!), of course we had to hit up the Orange County swapmeet with Candy & Cathy & the girls (McKenna and Maddy) we helped get the house situated a little (not easy with babies!) and found a great little italian restaurant in Newport Beach. Cant wait to go back soon!!!
