We LOVE Yosemite National Park!

Gabriel Clan 6 went camping in Yosemite National Park this past weekend! Amelia didn't know what to think about being all bundled up! It was COLD overnight, even though we were in a tent cabin (unheated), but everyone stayed warm.

Morning cuddling with sisters was a highlight for Amelia!

The views were spectacular and the park was gorgeous!

As much as we miss the beaches of Okinawa, we certainly are happy to be back in the mountains, hiking, walking, and breathing the mountain fresh air!

Amelia Grace at 3 months

Amelia is 3 months!

She smiles . . .

She coos and sings . . .

and she has discovered her hands . . . yum, yum!

We love this little baby!

Pumpkin Patch

We discovered a nice pumpkin patch today on this beautiful fall day in very sunny California.

They had some unique and interesting pumpkins!

Of course, our pumpkins were the cutest!

Our new home

I've had a great time decorating our new home, mixing my Chinese antiques and our other furniture. Here are some photos of the areas that are pretty much completed. The upstairs is still a work in progress . . . I love every piece of furniture that we ended up getting!

Grandma and Poppa visit California

Grandma and poppa came for a September visit! It was a fun week - lots of running around to and from all of the kid's activities, but we got some good visiting in, and poppa got to meet Amelia! It doesn't seem like we took a lot of pictures, but we got some nice ones on a day trip to the coast - it was a beautiful day! This particular beach allowed dogs, which turned out to be a lot of fun!

Sydney couldn't resist playing with Shad in the ocean! The water was freezing, but she spent a good amount of time in there . . . how did I know to pack extra clothing just for Sydney???? :)
