I love OC, hon

When I first saw Eli walk on the beach, I got that feeling all mothers get.  It’s when you can actually feel how much you love your child – in my heart, in my thoughts, everywhere.  It’s comforating to watch his little feet bury themselves in the sand.  When he was a few months old, Mikey would take him out on the beach at 5 am for some sunrise pics.  Whenever it’s possible, we love to take him on the beach.

Yeah, hon – we’d go down to the oshin.  You’z going to get sum crabs?  I know OC isn’t the most glamorous place.  (Being that I’m on my way home from the beautful Santa Monica).  But you know what?  I still love it.  Why?  Because its a town built for families and children.  Man, I have so many warm and wonderful memories from my childhood and my high school days.  I can only hope that Eli will do the same.  Although I’m pretty sure his memory book has begun.  Eli spent a good week down there with the entire Barnstein clan.
