Garrett told me he was leaving for two weeks in Feb for a business trip, so I set to booking my flights back to HMB to avoid complete isolation in our snowy house. I can't stand be home alone for so long, and the snow makes it impossible for us to go play in the park, so leaving was obviously the only way to go. I didn't want to make a big vacation of it. I just wanted to hopefully help Chelsea with her pregnant back problems being so bad right now, and let May build relationships with her far away cousins.
I was pleased to find that Dancelle especially loved to play with May, and the two older girls loved to make her into their little doll. May seemed to be extremely anxious to assert her place with the girls, and constantly sought their attention. She was far less needy and cranky around them, and it felt like she grew extra fast with their influence.
When the girls rode their bikes to the beach I put her in the stroller, and she smiled and yelled as if she believed she was on a bike too. She would also sneak into their room at night and keep them up past bedtime until I took her to bed, and we could hear them all squealing in the room together. 
On Friday Mindy took the day off work and we went to the Winchester house in San Jose. It's the supposedly haunted house of Mary Winchester, and it was rather large and oddly built. I mostly appreciated the Victorian era style of building, and the oldness of things that I love. According to Mindy, Chelsea and I were the "tour rapscallions" cause we were always lagging behind and looking in doors we weren't supposed to touch. It rained all day but we explored anyways.
I'm super in to this greenhouse. There was also two different indoor conservatories that were incredible too.
It was forecasted to rain the entire week I went, but we turned out to have good weather just about every day for at least a few hours. We spent most of our time riding bikes, walking around the neighborhood, and playing on the beach. It was just as perfect as I could have possibly imagined it to be.
The lush green explosion in the spring makes everything seem so fairy-landish. Rosie looks like she belongs here.
