in Sherman Oaks

August 18- Excitement & extreme heat!

I believe there is certain criteria that makes a vacation a vacation and although Sherman Oaks probably doesn't sound like it'd pass the test, let me enlighten you.

Criteria for a vacation:
1. Going somewhere that's not home: technically we did leave our "home" on Sweetzer
2. The ability to "Get Lost" & explore: I have no clue what exists in the Valley, in the 5 years I've lived here I think I've gone over the hill once!
3. People in LA pretty much act like driving to the Vally is the equivilant of driving to the moon, & the moon would totally be a vacation!

That's my reasoning, so eat it. On this particular "Getting Lost" adventure, we travelled over the mountains & through the woods to a special land called Sherman Oaks. It's full of happy children, sidewalks, and really cheap dry-cleaning. On this vacation we decided to stay & not return home to Sweetzer. On August 18, 2011 in over 100 degree weather (no joke) we moved from WeHo to the Valley  and bought a house with a yard and a pool because that's what people do when you have a baby in LA, right?!

Here we are signing the docs... 
We just got our keys!
Our first home! 

Yes, in your old home we did used to change Paxton in his closet....not that there's anthing wrong with that ;)
Paxton was a huge help with the move....
 Margarita was a blessing with ALL the packing!
We LOVE our new home & our new little family!
