This morning the Smiths and Berghoffs spent our morning in downtown San Diego. We had breakfast at Cafe 222 to try what Bobby Flay called the best French toast he’s ever had. Next we walked around the Gaslamp District and then explored the auto shop of a Mercedes restorer. Fun stuff.

This was the first sunny day we’ve had since we got out here to California. Although I’ve enjoyed the moodiness of the rain, I have enjoyed the sunshine.

Being a dad is magical. I get to experience innocence again. This makes my home into a wonderland of joy for me. I get to hide with Norah underneath a blanket as we wait for mommy to find us. Do you know beautiful it is to see nothing but a smiling little face like that?

…Norah is unhappy at the end of the night if I’m not holding her. Her skinny little arms wrap so tightly around my neck. She squirms and nuzzles every couple of minutes just to try to get closer than she already is. She’ll wake up and kiss me on the neck and whisper “hi daddy” then go back to sleep.  Stella is like a chubby little angel. Every time I see here bundled up asleep on the couch, I laugh because she’s so cute. I love holding Stella because inevitably end up holding Norah too. Stella gets about 1000 kisses a day.

At first I didn’t know what to do with all this sweetness in my home. Now I just don’t think about it…I just soak it in and enjoy it.

Dad and I got up early this morning and drove through Arcadia on our way to a meeting. I snapped this photo from inside the car.
