This is officially the final installment of “us-3-on-the-blue-island-for-Daddy’s-b-day” photos. :)

Throwback: ’17, ’16, ’15, ’14, ’13.

Soooooooo, we are moving to San Diego! After many a visit, we’ve always thought it’d make for a great place to live. God opened doors in His perfect timing, through testing our faith, stretching us to trust wholly in Him and yet another process of refinement.

Our chapter here in the South will be closed come end of June. Excited and humbled for this next adventure out West!

We took a trip there last month to check out housing, schools, areas and the like. PTL, we were able to purchase a new construction home immersed in nature and the beautiful outdoors but yet accessible to most places in the city and Elias will be attending a Mandarin immersion school.

Some quick snapshots from our last time there as just visitors, before calling the place home. :))

OM, a kombucha bar??? Oh, the flavors!

This game still exists!

One of these was durian infused. ;D

‘Til very, very soon, SD!

Went to a b-day party on a little farm with horses!

The mini. :)

Sandwiched by buddies on a carriage ride.

Haven’t seen many of you since NZ. ;-P

The birthday boy and his long table o’ friends.

Balloon animals and face painting after cake, ice cream, hot chocolate and popcorn.

A wittle wabbit showed up.

Meow, and this kitty.

We walked over to a county fair that was happening close by but it was just ending. The fire trucks were all polished and shiny.

E&E: Bestest buddies!

He asked to go to a salon for his much needed haircut. Did great this time!

They let Mommy play hairdresser. ;P

Free cone day at Ben & Jerry’s.

Grand opening at another Meet Fresh. No line?!

Time for spring soccer!

A giant egg at the city’s eggcellent adventure event. Unfortunately, they pretty much ran out of eggs at all the other booths!

Played a few games and met up with some friends…

We didn’t wait in line for the photo WITH the bunny so he got the throne all to himself. :D

Probably the tamest egg hunt we’ve been to date — at his school (also a church). We’re sticking to the low profile ones from now on, haha.

And very well the most eggs he’s collected at a hunt. And yes, we are those parents that do not get occasion themed containers like Easter baskets or Halloween buckets… Reusable Lulu bag, FTW!

Some other randoms…

Made a different WeDo creation — a monkey!

Thanks for the Darth Vader PJ’s, Auntie Loyce. Daddy fashioned a mask to go w/ it. :)

Now we’re tree climbing, too! (Blending in as well ;P),

Big buddy Joseph and the Critterman.

A good number of animals were introduced with lively commentary.

The token bunny was brought out last for Easter weekend. :)

The new Cowboys’ facility, The Star, had a grand opening over Easter so we checked it. Daddy brought a frisbee on the sacred football field which garnered some odd stares. ;P

We walked around the entertainment district and peaked in all the new eateries.

And this one couldn’t resist some ice cream.

I.C. AND donuts???? That’s a first.
