Merrik is growing up right before my eyes. I can’t believe how ‘old’ he looks in these frames. Thank goodness I have captured so many moments like this to go back through and remember how little he once was!

A couple of weeks ago we went to Newport El’s stage performance of Schoolhouse Rock. One of Merrik’s favorite people in the whole world, “Macole“(Nicole-who is a cousin of his cousins on the other side of their family so she is not related but we spend a lot of time with her family), had the lead part! About 104 students, a third of the K-6 elementary school, was in the show so there was quite a presence on stage.
Merrik and Maliea loved the live stage performance with music and dancing and Merrik even thought it was more fun than going to the movies. My favorite part was “I’m Just a Bill” that I have always loved since I was a kid. It’s probably one of the only things I really understand in our government.

Merrik has been obsessed with Curious George lately and when he saw these monkey pjs he just had to have them-for himself and for Maliea. I think it is very sweet that he thinks of her too. Of course hers are pink and his aren’t. Oh and by the way, he is also obsessed with Maliea.

I was so lucky to help at Merrik’s preschool on one of the days they were learning about bears. All the kids showed up in their pjs and brought their bears to class with them. The bears ended up “sleeping over” at the school all weekend long.
Merrik is anxiously waiting to see how big a mess they made at the shool while he was at home. He also told me that he really missed his bear and when we had a thunderstorm pass through he wondered if his bear was scared.
They made bear claws at the science table and had pancakes for snack. I love preschool. Can I just keep him there forever?

After doing hours of research about the closest and most accessible places to reach the newly deposited piles of white stuff in the local mountains, we decided to stick close to town. Neither one of us really wanted to drive 4 hours to get to a place where the rest of Southern California was going to be. The traffic, sketchy road conditions and hordes of people suffering from cabin fever did not sound like the way we wanted to experience our weekend together.
We always find that not going very far to do the things we like to do ends up being the best decision for us. Both Jim and I have a hard time getting in the car and driving for different reasons. He commutes to Santa Ana every day during the week and does enough sitting in the car and in traffic. I don’t like getting in the car to get somewhere ever since we sold our cars to go sailing then lived in Hawaii and took the bus everywhere. Yes, the car is extremely necessary for our Southern California lifestyle and we could not live without it. However, to get in the car for long distances when you really don’t have to makes us think twice every time.
