Nana in LA

This week my mom came to help out a bit and we loved having her here! She helped with lots of day to day stuff that is harder now with 2 kiddos and gave lots of snuggles an hugs to make sure everybody felt special. 

One of the first things we did was go to the Edward Sharpe and the Magnetic Zeros concert last Sunday. It was a blast! They are from LA and wanted to have a old timey circus feel so they set up a big top and had concerts four nights in a row, including a family matinee on Sunday afternoon so kids of all ages could go. Such a great idea! There were contortionists, acrobats, sword swallowers, etc etc etc. 

And of course, the music was awesome. They played on a rotating stage and the concert was in the round. They were so down to earth, walking through the crowd during the concert, opening up the mic if anyone wanted to tell a story,  and Suzy got to meet the lead singer after the concert! She loves their music as much as we do, so it was a success all around.

Mom also kept the kids one evening so we could go out to dinner and coffee. We ate some delicious Vietnamese food.  

I was so worried about Emory b/c we had never been away from him that long and he doesn't really take a bottle well, but this is how we left him and this is how we found him when we got back:
