Heading to San Diego

We left Annapolis and headed for San Diego, taking a few detours along the way.

We took Skyline Drive along the crest of the Blue Ridge Mountains,

got Ella baptized,

passed through New Mexico, stopping on Route 66,

saw the Grand Canyon,

and finally saw our new house in San Diego.

 

 

Ella settling in, as we prepare to move

As Ella settled in with the family, we were busy preparing for our big move from Annapolis to San Diego.

Ella at two weeks old

We gave Tyler a few more chances to run around the Naval Academy, and...

... Tyler decided he wanted to push Ella around the Naval Academy

Ella at four weeks old

We miss Katherine's old building,

our old house,

and our old view.

A lot has been happening (and will be happening this summer).  But, by far, the biggest thing is the birth of our daughter!
