The oldest versions of the Blackwells traveled from the middle of nowhere Alabama to the big city of Los Angeles, all to see the youngest version of the Blackwells.
I think my dad has been out to L.A. 4 or 5 times now! Margaret has been out at least 3 times! They love it out here, but we can't quiet convince them to move here. ;) Yet. How great would it be? Zoe would learn math and we'd always have a babysitter!
While they were here we all did a lot! We saw the Santa Monica Pier and 3rd street promenade, went to the beach in Malibu, went hiking at Runyon Canyon and ate a lot of good food! Zoe also learned how to moo (thanks grandpa!) and she's doing long division! ;)
I took a break from Facebook and Twitter for 7 days, and it was wonderful. I don't feel like I missed a thing, or like anyone missed me! While social networks are great, it's important to keep perspective in the real world and stay focused on what's REALLY important. There's no need to fill your brain with useless information like your friend's friend getting a sandwich at Subway. My brother Blake said it best "someone's hatin' that it's Monday, and someone else is lookin' forward to Friday!" Sums it up pretty well!
We had a great time with the family, and now it's back to business! We have very exciting news to announce to you when the time is right - we're just getting all our ducks in a row.
Hope you all are well!
Peace,
