We've just been so busy! Left us quite tired:





Much love,

Disneyland - Day 1.

We have lots to celebrate this July... Abue turned 50! Our baby cousin, Lia, graduated high school and is headed to the prestigious St. Olaf in Minnesota.

Naturally, a trip to Disneyland was in order!

Makani insisted that the first ride we go on should be Buzz Lightyear. Fast line, so why not?



I carried Ellie around in a Tula carrier. She was safe and snug while still able to see everything.



Yes, that's Lia with a Mickey/Perry hat.



So excited to see Buzz!



Very serious work.



When you attempt Disneyland with two young kids, I'd assume that you generally look for rides with the shortest lines. That was our strategy and it worked really well.

Small world was next. Huge plus that it was air conditioned inside!



Ellie fell asleep. Disney is sooo relaxing when you're being carried by your mami.



Boys in wonder.



Kind of hard NOT to wake up when you hear loud music playing. This girl didn't cry once!



So happy.



Family photo attempt...



And again... Fail?



Brad took a turn in carrying Ellie with the Tula.. On his back!



Lunch was followed by Mickey shaped beignets! They were delicious!



After a failed attempt at naptime in the hotel room, we went straight back for more Disney fun.



Carousel ride!



That really ended up being all the Disney we could handle on day one. Had some lovely dinner, then back to the hotel for some quiet R&R so we could be ready for day two!

Much love,
The Dolfos.

Comic con!

Brad's been working at comic con for the past few years, an this year he got lots of extra tickets. Now, I'm not by any means a comic book nerd or even knowledgeable about that stuff (outside of whatever major motion pictures are made), but I hear a lot about the "experience" that is Comic Con. I had to see it for myself.




I took my cousin Lia with me to help with the kids, but also because I knew she'd appreciate it.








Ellie wasn't too impressed with anything...








TNMT! I felt like a kid again.




Her face!

We went again on Saturday, and we brought Mak this time.




He was just a little bit starstruck.




Couldn't help it!




Brad was able to take a break and hang out a bit.




High five! Mak was much braver with daddy there.




Breastfeeding at comic con! Hell yeah!




All in all, it was fun. Don't know if I'd do it again, but it's nice to say we've been there, done that.

Up next: Disneyland!

Much love,
The Dolfos.

Belated weekend photo.

Enjoying a date night!


Great food, great company, great laughs.

And of course, great love.

Our fourth of July...

Fourth of July dress.




Sitting with Tata. Great grandpa.




Both with Tata.




Blurry picture with Nana. These two love to laugh.

Then we went over to Abue's after nap. Of course she had karaoke...






Giving Papa Pancho a turn.




Dance party! We didn't let the gloomy weather bring us down.




Ellie wasn't quite sure what to make of the singing.




But Abue kisses cheered her up.




Then some fireworks watching on YouTube before bed.

Perfect day.

Much Love,
The Dolfos.
