Besides our California road trip and Illinois trip, here's a day in the life so far this year.
First, a pretty winter sunset view from Z's room.
In January, Yiayia treated Z and L to Disney's Frozen on Ice at the San Diego Sport Arena!
Great seats!
Thanks, Yiayia, for a special outing!
Z and her new beta fish named Hearts.
In February, we attended A's concert with the 1st Marine Division Band at the Escondido Performing Arts Center. He was a featured soloist and even conducted one of his arrangements!
Proud family members in attendence.
In March, A received his Staff Marine Musician of the Year Award while attending the Leadership Symposium at the Naval School of Music in good ol' Virginia Beach.
