Trip to Malibu

By
On March 14th we flew to Malibu.  This was the start of things closing due to the coronavirus.  During our stay in Malibu most things were closed but we still got to go to the pool (until that closed too) and the beach.  
We made it to Malibu! We love staying at the beach house.

At Cici and Papa's house we picked loads of lemons.  One of the kids favorite things to do is make lemonade with Cici.


Papa is a human jungle gym.
Off to find hermit crabs.

This little hidden beach was lots of fun to explore.
 





The beach is super fun for kids.  Isaac loved this huge hole.  He would run and jump in it, sometimes head first.





Dede and baby Savannah.

Isaac is always prone to getting hurt and being on vacation is no exception.  Luckily his swollen lip healed quickly.



Nasty snails!









Gotta document when I beat Justin in concentration. 

The day before we left CA we had to return our rental car.  This is because our first flight home got cancelled.  We returned the van, got picked up by Cici in dede's van, and then met the Ostler's at In n out.



We were able to book another flight home, a day later than expected, and I was happy that this flight didn't get cancelled too.

My reality check

By
Remember how in my last few posts I talked about how we were teaching Channing to put himself back to sleep by letting him cry it out?  Since Channing has been sick for over a week that has all gone down the drain....  The poor kid is so congested all the time.  When we wakes up at night he usually will not take his binky and fall back asleep.  Instead he needs his nose suctioned, which usually requires Justin holding Channing's head still or it's impossible.  And lately he will not go back to sleep at all until he's fed again.  Last night it was every 3 hours.  I don't know if it's because his throat hurts or he just wants to be held.  Whatever the reason, nights have been a little rough around here.  Oh, and his naps during the day have been pretty bad.  Crying a lot before falling asleep and then only sleeping for 20 or 30 minutes.  Motherhood is definitely a 24/7 job.  With no lunch breaks.  And get this!  Channin...

Happy Halloween!

By
I wanted to do a quick Halloween post so I won't ever forget how adorable Channing was.  He was a scarecrow this Halloween.  We used a pair of his overalls and I sewed on a few patches of material and then we stuffed his pockets with straw.  The paint on the nose thing didn't work so well...he rubbed it off the first time around.  Our ward did a trunk-or-treat in the parking lot.  Channing was a little skeptical about it all when we first started.  But he quickly got the hang of walking up to people, grabbing candy, and putting it in his bucket.  Someone gave him a sucker and he immediately had to have it!  At least he's easy to please!  Such a friendly scarecrow...had to say bye to the trick-or-treaters as they left.

Ooooh crap

   Merry Christmas! It's December 12th and beginning to feel a lot like Christmas!  The tree is decorated and we are slowly adding presents underneath it.  What's new with the Hamilton crew? Well let me tell ya.  Justin is starting a new job as St Alphonsus's webmaster next Monday.  Which means I can kiss my daytime freedom goodbye.  Since February Justin has been working at home with a start up company called RealResultsOnline.  So if I had both kids down for a nap I could easily leave the house to go grocery shopping or whatever.  Now I'm heading back to the reality of being a stay at home mom.  Anyways...I'm sure I'll survive.  Because what choice do I have?!  We'll miss you Justin....  Especially Channing.  That kid loves peeking in on Justin during the day and getting in lots of daddy play time.  But we think this new job will give us better opportunities for the future.  So yes, I gotta suck it up!...
