Keeping Up With The Koshgerians

We all had lots of fun when Gammi, Poppi, and Uncle Paul came to visit over Christmas. Kaden loved it when Gammi and Pop would read to him. They gave him a couple of those Hallmark recorded books and he insists on "reading" them every night - doesn't matter that they are The Night Before Christmas and The Very First Christmas.

We spent the week with a mix of staying at home playing and sightseeing around San Diego. We took lots of "car rides,"

visited various Farmer's Markets,

played at Mission Bay,

and at the local toy store,

shopped at Fashion Valley Mall,

took lots of trips to the playground,

and, the highlight of the week, took Gammi and Poppi to the San Diego Zoo.

We also spent a lot of time snuggling,

and going for rides in Marley's airplane kennel.

Kaden LOVED having Marley in the house. For the first few days the two of them stayed pretty clear of one another; then Kaden warmed up. He was so good with her - no chasing, hair pulling, hitting, etc. Taking her out for walks delighted him, so much so that he would walk around the house with the leash trying to get Marley to somehow attach herself to it!

Shaving was an exciting new activity to watch...

...and try.

And, sometime during the week, Kaden found a new favorite spot - Uncle Paul's lap.
