there and back

Anna and I got to take a quick weekend trip to California last weekend to spend time with my family and see my little brother dance in Berkeley with his company.  Oh it was a fun trip.  Anna did pretty well considering the three hour time difference.  She was all smiles usually.  It was so great to see everyone.  Here are just a few of the memories.

Anna decided this time in California (since last time she figured out how to roll over) she would start to stand up on her own and balance and then get so excited that she was doing it that she would sit.  What a big girl.
