Long Awaited Post!

Wow!  So I sort of lost track of time and forgot I had a blog!  The last update was Riley's birthday which was in April so I have quite a bit to report on.  We have had a lot of exciting things happening in the Emery household.  First, we MOVED!  At the end of May we moved to a great house in our favorite neighborhood of Birdrock in La Jolla.  This neighborhood is amazing.  There are little lending libraries around and lots of lemonade stands popping up on sunny days.  This is an extremely kid friendly and dog friendly place with houses that have been here for decades.  Some houses, like ours, were rebuilt and sit on very small lots but you give up a yard for the community.  We sit up a bit from the beach so we get an amazing ocean breeze all day so we haven't even turned on our A/C yet!  We are thrilled to have a place out here to call our home. 
All packed up and ready to go!

The little park by our new house.

Our View to the Pacific Ocean from the rooftop deck.

And, yes, this is Max.  We apparently came with the house.

So then, literally the weekend we moved in, we were walking down to our local coffee house, Birdrock Coffee Roasters, and I mentioned to Matt that...hmm....maybe we should stop by CVS on the way home for a pregnancy test.  He was like, "Say What?!" Well, with all the other things going on I totally lost track of my, ahem, cycle so yeah...it may have been a while.  So I picked one up and the next morning I did what you do and before I even got out of the bathroom is flashed: PREGNANT...loud and clear.  So there you have it.  Baby #2 is on its way!  I am currently 15 weeks along now and we find out the sex in three weeks!  We are thrilled and can't wait to meet Baby Emery #2 in January!


Well those are the two big announcements but beyond that we have had a great Summer.  My mom visited early into our move and then Matt's parents visited as well. 





We have been having a blast enjoying San Diego as always including the beach.  Riley LOVES the beach.  It's her favorite place.





I'm sure there was a lot of other things that occurred in the months since my last post but I hit on the major news so I feel accomplished.  I will be better about it, I promise!  Next post will be on a great little getaway to Ojai!  I can't wait to relax and get pampered!!!
