Our Home

Our House and Neighborhood

We live in Long Beach, California in a wonderful neighborhood full of big shady palm trees.   We love the fun of living in an area where there is lots to see and do.  We have a membership to the Long Beach Aquarian and we love to go there to look at the fish, otters and seals.  Ayden favorites are the sea horses and the jelly fish!  There are lots of kids on our street who love to come over and play - in fact the older kids keep giving her the toys from when they were toddlers.   The best part of living in sunny Southern California is all of the beaches, amuesment parks and other attractions.  Ayden loved the fireworks at Disney Land and was completely wowed by Tinkerbell as she flew across the sky.  We can't wait to go there again as a family.


BABY'S ROOM
We have got the baby's room all painted and decorated. The room is painted sage green - a very gentle color for baby. We have a rocking chair ready for night time feedings and rocking baby to sleep. Ayden's room is across the hall so we're sure there will be lots of running back and forth the kids play in each other's rooms.


OUR GARDEN
We love to hang out on our back deck in the Spring and Summer. Kevin has an amazing green thumb and has created a beautiful garden. It will be great for playtime the kids and family BBQs. Kevin plans to teach our children all about trees, plants and insects.


John with our dogs - Hank, Tilly & Toby
  "Even though Ayden keeps us busy, we still have lots of "daddy energy" for our lovable dogs. We are both big animal lovers. Spending time in our garden is one of our favorite things to do. Kevin has an amazing green thumb and has created a beautiful place to play and learn".

Our Pets
We still have lots of daddy energy for our wonderful pets.  The pets have adapted very well to having a child in the house. We have three terriers, Hank, Tilly and Toby. They're very gentle and easy going dogs. Hank is a lover, Tilly is a very gentle girl and Toby is very lively. We're both big animal lovers. We hope to pass on our love of animals to our child. You can see picture of them in the photo album.
