Sunday Funday At Peacock Gap Park






Swinging, sliding, laying in the grass.

We've had great weather this month (except for all this rain and cooler temperatures this past week), so we thought we'd get out as a family a few Sundays ago and try a new park. There isn't a park within walking distance from our house, so Ellie hasn't had a lot of park experiences just yet.

But Peacock Gap Park was a score!

Quilt Photo Shoot



Most of you know that we are celebrating Grandma's 90th birthday on March 8th. I'm putting a book together of all the quilts she's made for our family, including my cousins, aunts and uncles. Everyone has been sending me pictures, and Ellie and I had a mini photo shoot a few weeks ago. Here's a sneak peak.

Crawling & Pulling to Standing



I'm so behind on my posts.

Our little girl started crawling the first week in February. And pulling to standing.

This is what most of our days and sleep time look like. E crawling around and standing in her crib instead of sleeping! We love that she's growing and developing, but it's definitely thrown a wrench into our naps and nighttime as our good little sleeper is no more. We started sleep training again last week and seem to be making some progress. Slowly but surely...

My Posse


This is what most of our mornings look like. For reals. No posing was involved. Ellie in her highchair eating breakfast, and Cole in position waiting for food to drop.

Little buddies.

I'm busy Mom.


Stop taking my picture and let me play!

Hungry Monkey


We finally figured out how to get more food in Ellie's mouth than on her clothes since she insists on feeding herself these days. Two Spoons. And no shirt. Duh.

Three Day Weekend





We made the best of John's three day weekend despite Ellie being sick and John's ailing shoulder and hiked at Roys Redwoods Open Space Preserve. It was pretty muddy and would've been better had we not had the Bob Stroller, but it was still fun.

We also signed our loan documents (Ellie wanted to help) which will allow us to replace our 40 year old furnace and install AC (yes, AC!), as well as replace the joists and get a new deck on the front of our house. Phase Two Construction Project starts now!
