Feelin the heat!

So I've been feeling the pressure from mom to post and now with the fires, she thought I should update you all. We all know to do as mom says. It's been a yucky week, but it's difficult to complain when others have lost much more than a day at the park or Trunk or Treat. The fire in Irvine, which is now contained, was about 5 miles away and didn't threaten many structures. Unfortunately, the other fires in Orange County made our air quality bad enough that we've been trapped indoors for the week. Last night was the first time since before we left for Arizona that I've seen some blue in the sky. Today we drove out to Riverside and took a highway that had been closed, it was crazy to see the land and rooftops charred and burnt. Our house, clothes, everything has smelled like a campfire...the air is warm and thick of ashes and smoke. So, we've been going a little stir crazy...I wish I had extended our visit in AZ!


Speaking of AZ, I thought I'd post some pics of our trip. It was short but we crammed a lot in...and we were so happy to be there for Bailey's blessing, it was a great weekend.

This was such a great moment, Emma had grandma trapped singing Eency Weency Spider over and over with her "pweeeeease!"
