Santi's first trip home!

As much as we have enjoyed our LA house, we started to get a little home sick and a little stir crazy.

Santi didn't have any appointments this week, so on Monday we packed up the car and headed south. That sounds easy enough, but it took 3 hours to pack up! Santi does not travel light. We needed his clothes, blankies, pacifiers, diapers, wipes, medicine, oxygen, pulse ox machine, car seat, stroller and of course Mr. Adorable himself. It took time, but we did it.

This was Santiago's longest car ride yet and he did fantastic! He slept the whole way. We were excited to show Santi his home for the first time. Oh, it has been so wonderful to be home! I have always loved our house, but right now I really, REALLY, LOVE it! There is nothing like your own bed.

My BFF Melissa and her hubby Kirk came over Monday night and brought us a home cooked dinner. It was delicious and just what we needed.

We will go back to LA on Friday with a new appreciation for how lovely Carlsbad is.
