The weather here is outstanding right now - the LEAVES are actually changing color and falling!!!!!!!!!!!  Something we have missed for 19 years living in San Diego!  It's cool and Fall-like and just gorgeous!!!  We are lovin' the cold weather!  Well, I guess you can’t take the California out of us - lol!  We feel cold at 60˚ and turn on the heat at night - HA!  It gets into the 30˚’s at night and sometimes only the 50˚’s for highs - Amy is in heaven!!  We actually get to wear coats here?!!! 

    We have been here for almost 4 months now and I can finally say - I can actually find my way home from 2 places now, by going 2 different ways!!  I'm so proud of myself - LOL!!!!!!  I have to say, I am definitely getting tired of not knowing where anything is and getting lost!  Oh yes, I do have a GPS on my iphone, and it’s a lifesaver, but I’m definitely not using it while driving unless I pull over so I do still need to use my brain to get places lol :) We have wanted to get take out a couple times too and we just look at each other and have no idea where to get it from. UGH!  We did find a good Chinese take out place and after trying 3, we found a good pizza place (Papa Murphy's - they make it, you take it and bake it).  Of course, not as good at Rosaria's Pizza in SD, but pretty good :)  I am really longing for Rubios and Chevy's!  I tried mexican at a restaurant here........well, lets just say, it tasted like east coast mexican....good but not really mexican.  We do need to try a few other mexican restaurants, I'm sure there is something better, surely!  Ok, now for a bit of humor - we have been laughing at some of the names of restaurants out here for a while now.  They truly are funny!  Ok, here's one:  Chuy's Mexican (now would that be asian mexican??? lol), Texas Land and Cattle Steakhouse (does that even sound appetizing?), Chubby's (ok, just a poor choice there)...there are others, I just can't remember them right now.  But they do have Steak-n-Shake (I grew up eating there!!  And kids eat free on the weekends!!) and Cracker Barrel (our VERY favorite restaurant!!!)!  Dave and I went out to a Mexican Restaurant tonight for our belated Anniversary (19 years!!) :)  It was Uncle Julios, ok, the name is mexican at least! :)  However, on the menu among other things, were QUAIL and frog legs!!!  Ok, if that is Tex Mex - I think we are about done with that!!  LOL  The menu did not have one burrito or chimichanga, mostly fajitas and a few tacos and very expensive.  I think we can safely say that San Diego is the restaurant capitol of the US, hands down!  :)

    Mei Mei’s sleep has improved!!!  Well, she was up 6 times (or more) last night crying BUT 10 days prior to that, she slept through the night 8:30pm-7:30am (except for once where she woke crying twice but put herself back to sleep eventually!)!!  Yea Mei Mei!!  We have renewed hope!  And Kali lost a second tooth!!!!  AND she can ride her bike without training wheels!!!!!  GO Kali!!!!  We just started potty training Mei Mei today (at HER request) and it went pretty well.  2 accidents but she’s very motivated and “Will work for marshmallows!”  Stay tuned for the potty report :)
