The Locklins

Our dear friends Kevin, Lisa, and their little one Chloe came into town this past week so we had a UCI FEMBA group get together at Mothers Beach in LB on Saturday :) It was so nice to see everyone and the babies that have emerged! It's been 1 year since graduation and so much has happened! New jobs, new babies, and busy lives :) Violet rode on a swing for the first time... Between blankets and towels :)

We just love the Locklins! They're fantastic parents to little Chloe and inspire us to be 'pick up, pack up, and go' type parents :) Even before having Violet, Kevin shared with us that it's a choice you have to make, to take your little one with you on adventures. You just need to have a patient and relaxed mindset to think, 'let's go _______, want to?' And then grab the essentials and walk out the door :) It's that 'keep calm and carry on' business :) Again, their calmness, positive nature, creativity, patience, and happiness are why we love the Locklins :) We wish we saw them more often and that they lived closer, but weekend get togethers will do :)

My only regret of the day was a horrible burn on my shoulders which is going to turn into some nasty tan lines... Sunscreen should've been worn! After coming home we were both exhausted... Matt took a nap with Odie :)
