Too much fun with our little guy!

Jude is now 10 weeks old and is growing into quite the little man.  He is 12 pounds 12 ounces and 23 1/2 inches tall! We are so grateful to God for blessing us with such a perfectly healthy and happy baby boy.  His precious smiles and adorable voice remind us daily how beautiful life is and just how good God is.  What a gift he is!

Jude and the judge

We have had quite the fun these past few weeks.  Earlier this month, Collin's parents visited us from Arizona.  Jude loved hanging out with his Nana and Poppa.  We visited the mission, went for walks on the beach, and enjoyed some delicious meals out. That weekend, Jude met the judge for the first time.  Collin's judge is a natural with babies--Jude loved him immediately.

Getting ready for the weekend away in Cambria!

For Mother's Day, Jude and Collin took me to Cambria with my parents.  Collin took care of Jude while I got to go for a run along the coast.  Later, we went out for a nice lunch and went wine tasting.  That evening,  Collin and my dad made a gourmet dinner for my mom and me at Moonstone Beach.  They cooked salmon with dill and roasted vegetables all on the grill.  It was delicious!  Jude also gave me a strand of pearls that Collin's dad had given Collin's mom on the Mother's Day after Collin was born.  The pearls are beautiful, and I can't wait to one day pass them onto Jude's future wife when they have children (oh wow!).

All bundled up for our dinner on the beach

Jude also had his first visit to the beach a couple of weeks ago.  My cousin Julie and her daughter Kiran visited us in Santa Barbara for a couple of days, and we spent a morning at Hendry's Beach.  I made a little tent for Jude, so he would be protected from the sun.  He took a little nap, and I was able to go play in the waves with Kiran.  Later that weekend, Jude and I spent the day at Bacara Resort with my parents.  Jude hung out with my mom under an umbrella while I went swimming.

Future tennis player?!

The three of us spent Memorial Day weekend with my parents, Rob, and Kelly in La Quinta near Palm Springs.  We had a fabulous weekend.  Jude spent most of his time inside the cool hotel room or under an umbrella, but Collin and I enjoyed the sun.  Collin played golf and tennis, and I went for a few runs, went swimming, and lounged by the pool. Jude loved having time with his Uncle Rob and Aunt Kelly! We wish they lived closer.
