california: day 7

on friday, randy found a nice little piano studio to practice in and got several hours of practicing in. i spent a quiet day around chuck and ruthanne's. in the evening, we all headed to the beach for a bonfire and wienie roast. i love the ocean, but i have to admit that it is a different experience with a baby. madeleine actually really enjoyed seeing the ocean and usually doesn't mind wind, but it was really windy and she was really tired and it was hard for her to calm down and go to sleep under those conditions.

you can't tell from this photo, but she had sand all over the inside of her port-a-crib. i tried so hard to block it all out with towels and blankets, but to no avail.

madeleine and lainey in their cribs with calli watching over them.

randy's cousin bryan, carsten, and calli.

i think madeleine had had it at this point.
