The Move Has Been Made
We're back in California! This time we decided to try the sun and surf in sunny Southern California! We are in San Clemente and loving it. We are getting settled into our house and making it our home.
To catch you up, here's a recap of the past few weeks. We put our house on the market, and within a week we had an offer! We never expected to move so quickly, but once the offer came in there was no turning back! We were set to have movers come on the 17th to start packing us up and our cars were to leave the same day on a different truck. As everyone knows, timelines rarely work out with moving. The movers did not arrive until late on the 18th and the cars left that morning. The packing took all the way up until sometime on the 20th, well after we had signed the papers to close on our house, and set off to the airport to fly to California with the boys.
We stayed in a hotel in Seabrook until the closing, which was an adventure. My dad and stepmother came into town for a couple of days and endured the adventure with us! We are so very grateful for their help and I don't think we could have done it without them. Nick ended up staying at the house because of the incompetence of the packing and I was at the hotel with the boys. They did remarkably well considering all that was going on. Once I gave up on Matt having a nap at the hotel, the adventure became a bit more enjoyable. He slept with his Granny and Grandpa one night after refusing to fall asleep for me.
Once we closed on the house, we said our goodbyes and we were off to the airport. Matt was incredible on the flights out here. He slept much of the flight to Phoenix and was an angel on the way to Orange County. The boys were both a mess by the time we got to the house, but we still had to get a few things. Considering time changes, Matt was up at least 2 hours past bedtime by the time we ate and got our essentials at the store. Because our things left Seabrook the day we did, we had nothing here and decided to camp out in the house and get Matt acclimated to his new home. It all worked out well and he even took naps!
Our things arrived finally on the 24th, as I was out interviewing for jobs. It was a bit chaotic, but we made it through. Our cars did not arrive until the 26th. We are still unpacking and finding interesting things in each box. There was one box that contained things from 5 different rooms in our house. Why they labeled the boxes amazes me!
Enough about the craziness of our last 2 weeks, and on to the pictures of the boys!

There's a little devilish grin peeking out from behind Jonathan's crab.
Matt still combines his toys so he can use as many things at once as possible. Here he is preparing for his first ride to our new park, donning his baseball helmet. He took off the helmet as soon as he got on the bike and we went off to the park.
He is much more adventurous than he was last summer on this same playground, but he's still a bit cautious.
Jonathan and I walked around while the big boys played. He was quite entertained by all my funny faces to keep him entertained.
Matt was quite proud of himself climbing all over the playground by himself. I think Nick was a bit proud of him too!
There were some older kids at the playground, and Matt wanted to try all of the things they were doing. He was enjoying it a bit more than his expression lets on in this shot.
There was a little 4 year old girl at the playground that had no shoes on, and she ordered Matt to take his off in order to play with her. They were quite funny together.
In true Trevino men fashion, here are 2 of them zoned out watching the USC song girls on tv.
Jonathan's expressions and vocalizations are increasing daily! Today he just started laughing. He looked at me and started laughing. Should I take it personally?
When Nick came out to find us a house, he went to a wonderful indoor playground with our friend Aaron and his son Waylon for Waylon's birthday. Nick couldn't wait to take Matt and see how much fun Matt would have there. He was right. The boys played together for a little over an hour and they were both working up quite a sweat by the time we left.
Matt tried his hand at playing piano. He looks like he really knows what he's doing.
