On the Home Front

Let's kick things off with some baby cuteness:

She's climbing!

She's on the move!

She's an old grandpa man!

With that out of the way, we can move on to Addy's basketball--which was an awesome experience, and where she forged some fun new friendships, even if her team didn't go very far in the playoffs:

On the court

Huddle

Rock-star players

The whole, awesome team with their coaches

And a gorgeous sunset to drive into after their last game

Then we got a visit from my awesome sister and her family. We loved getting a chance to chill with them at Sea World and the beach:

Cousins! That's me looking like Aaron's "Muslim wife," as he says

Shark!

Petting the rays

Another gorgeous sunset as we left the park

And a perfect evening at the beach, roasting hotdogs and toasting marshmallows

Plus a little more Sea World--Chinese New Year style:

 

And some music fun at American Idol, America' Got Talent, and Tosca with Aaron's choir:

We got to see the audition of Grace VanderWaal, who Simon Cowell called "the next Taylor Swift," plus a few other awesome acts and a couple of pretty terrible ones.

Meanwhile, Cora enjoyed her first playdate with her friend Dorothy

Tosca! Asher came too, but wouldn't dream of allowing his photo to be taken at an opera

But some nights we took it easy--like the time we celebrated the release of Fuller House on Netflix!

And finishing out the month with some whale watching:
