Move to California

Well, we did it... we left Vancouver for a new chapter in our lives in sunny California! Richard took a new job with BlackRock in San Francisco and we are living in Walnut Creek, just outside the city. We spent a month in the city in corporate housing and although being downtown had it's upsides, we are happy to be out of that 2 bedroom apartment! The city is cold and foggy - yuck, and so noisy!

Our move to Walnut Creek was less than stellar. We were greeted by hungry fleas when we arrived and discovered some of the appliances weren't working! Despite our woes, we are happy to be here and enjoying every moment so far. I am really enjoying my time at home with Lexi, and we found out she will be having a baby brother in January. I've joined a mom's group and enrolled Lexi in art classes and Gymboree which keeps her busy :)

Daddy just put together a playhouse in the back yard, and Lexi is loving it... and Rich is enjoying the basketball hoop. Much to everyone's disbelief, Rich really can get the ball in the hoop.

The weather here is awesome - sunny and warm everyday so far. I am going to have to take a picture the first time it rains... it took me a while to realize I didn't have to carry an umbrella in my purse!
