Beautiful and 83 Degrees...Hate to rub it in but a cold front has come in and we are enjoying cool breezes with temperatures around 83-85 the last 2 days. Two blocks down from us is having their block party today and our friends, Wayne and Jennifer, live on that block so we may head over that direction later today. Apparently each house (each house mostly being a 2 family house) contributes $20 and they have outdoor food, bubble bounces for the kids, games, live music, etc. So, that would be fun. Our block is supposed to have a block party soon but we haven't gotten the notice yet. They only allow 4 blocks at a time to have their block parties on the same day because it would impede traffic too much. Once again, WE LOVE LONG BEACH!!! It is THE most fun, most family oriented place I have ever been to. It is amazing!

And for you grandparents, Jacob and I are working on a special Christmas present for you. The trick will be keeping mums the word until Christmas...ha! He has become quite a creative little dickens but that is your only clue...ha!
