Well I have not updated in nearly 5 months...so much has happened in the Guerrero Family universe. Here is a pictorial overview of the last few months:

First of all, David turned 1. We were in the process of moving at the time (more on that later in the post) so he had a modest lil birthday:




A few weeks later we went to California Adventure w/ Amy's fave cuz'ns, Erica, Bobby & lil Bob to celebrarte Sara's 3rd Birthday:



Sara had a blast & we all enjoyed a wonderful day at Disneyland's sister park.

A month or so later came my birthday. The family headed out to San Juan Capistrano for a weekend road trip. We booked a couple nights at the Doubletree in Orange County.


The Mission was absolutely beautiful. Probably the nicest Catholic landmark an old ex-altar boy like me has ever seen. The city is the site of California's oldest residential neighborhood, Los Rios. It is also the home of the oldest in use building in California, the Serra Chapel in the Mission. The area was the site of both the first vineyard and first winery in California. So much California history here.





The trip was finally completed when we stopped for lunch at our favorite OC Mexican restaurant, El Cholo:



April brought Easter Sunday, a very interesting celebration for such a secularist, agnostic family as ours. I do not know if we are actually paying homage to the Jesus Christ ressurection myth or to the older pagan celebration marking the Vernal (Spring) Equinox. Most likely the latter, but anywho, it is always a good excuse to gather with loved ones & have a good time with our extended family.






Yo Gabba Gabba's DJ Lance Rock was going to be performing at the LA Times Festival Of Books & being that Sara & David are HUGE fans of the show, we packed the van & headed out ot UCLA to be in attendance when they hit the stage. The campus was sweet as was the weather. The kids danced to every song (even Jake got into it!) & we all enjoyed the festival. Especially a bookworm like me, being surrounded by books & droves of people that acutally still read was awesome.






That pretty much catches us up with the highlights of the past couple months. Oh yeah, I forgot what is most likely the biggest development since our last post. We MOVED! We got out of our modest apartment in North Hills & moved to a modest house in Panorama City. Never had a backyard before, never had a front yard before. Always lived in a concrete jungle. Now we have a garage, plenty of parking, we even have a garden! David & Sara love playing in the yard (Jake is still stuck in the house staring at a video screen)




We love our lil house......tomorrow is Jacob's 8th birthday, we are going to Disneyland......pics to follow.
