First road trip

Andie went on her first road trip this weekend to attend her second cousin's baby shower. She was a fantastic travel buddy! She enjoyed the many hours in the car, and even slept well in a new place for the first time away from home since she left the hospital.
Andie is an excellent car-napper, just like her mom.

 On Saturday, we stopped in Grass Valley, where Andie got to meet Great-Grandma Jo, Aunt Lynn, and cousin Kody for the first time.

We had a wonderful dinner at Grandma Jane and Grandpa Stan's on Saturday evening. Andie got to see Aunt Sue and Uncle Joe, Aunt Ashley and Uncle Andy, and her cousins, too!

Andie enjoys watching the cieling fan while sitting with Grandpa.

Living up to her nickname: Andie shows Auntie Sue how good she is at blowing bubbles.

Jason always seems to have a nephew or two attached to him when we all get together.


On Sunday, we drove to Yuba City to celebrate the arrival of Andie's second cousin, Eleanor (Ellie) Rose, who was born 12 days after Andie. The party was at Aunt Pam and Uncle Loren's, so we finally got to see the pomegranate farm!

We finished off the weekend with a video chat with Nana and Papa. Kristin tried to take a screenshot to share, but none of us ended up looking very photo-worthy. Maybe next time.

Changes

There have been a lot of changes over the past six weeks in the Herilino household. Perhaps the biggest is that Nani and Papa moved out! We were so happy to take them in after the fire, and we are even happier that they have found a new place of their own to call home (especially because it isn't in Iowa). They are again just a short drive away in Santa Rosa, and they even promised to still babysit one day a week. Nani and Papa really enjoyed spreading out after being relegated to such tight quarters at the Herilino house. Although they didn't have too much stuff to move, Andie helped them unpack some of their new things. She liked how the packing material stuck to their clean windows. They don't have much in the way of furniture yet either, but Nani and Papa made sure Andie felt comfortable by stocking their house with new toys, a kid's table, and a potty seat. We are already having lots of fun hanging out there. Andie loved trying ou...

Farmhouse

Team Herilino had a fun-filled trip to the little red farmhouse this weekend to see wonderful friends. Andie got to see her buddy Sam, who she hadn't seen since she was six months old. Andie and Sam, July 2016 Andie and Sam, September 2015 They got reaquainted via some hand touching. It was the perfect coastal summer day. We ate some tasty food -- Andie particularly enjoyed the strawberries. Andie showed everyone how to boogie to the music. They picked up her instruction quickly. Jason taught Andie to skateboard. Andie was very excited to join the big kids for a round of frisbee golf on the hillsides beyond the fence. The frisbee crew She loved riding the wagon full of discs back to the house. Steve took some drone footage of the surroundings while we were golfing (you can see the footage here: https://www.skypixel.com/share/video/the-farm-house-171c2db9-64b8-486c-bb59-8c4...

More visitors and first real bath

Andie met Uncle Joe and Auntie Sue yesterday. It was wonderful to have them visit, and we wish they could have stayed longer! They brought some delicious Kalua Pork and lemon bars, and even made a run to Wild Flour Bread this morning for some breakfast treats! Andie had her first bath in her infant tub last night, and she loved it! She lost her umbilical cord stump a little over a week ago, so she can finally submerge her cute little belly button. She's clearly well on her way to dive training!
