Running in the Rain

We had a rain storm this afternoon.

We left the playground just as the first drops were falling,

but couldn't resist spashing around in it when we got home.

Camila Luna pics

Baby Luna (that's what I'm calling her this week...) is, as all babies do, developing incredibly fast!

She eats well, sleeps well, and loves to be carried in the Bjorn. She's weighing in these days at almost 11 pounds and about 22 inches. Still a chunk -- but not quite as round as she seemed at first! LOL

She's faster (and louder) to squawk than I remeber Liv being - but I suppose she had better be! :)

here are some pics from earlier this afternoon.

Soooo Good!

Many of you have heard Liv exclaim "Sooo Good!"

Here are some pics from snack yesterday.

- homemade blueberry muffins -

Thanks

Our thanks to Christina for staying with us these past few days - it's been a wonderful visit for all of us. Our hope is that Dan and Jeff will be able to join us next time!! 

Camila gets bigger and stronger with longer alert periods.

Sometimes, I swear she really is smiling!

Liv admiring her super-cute new bear jacket - thanks Carlota and family!

We're all sad to have to say goodbye to Tia Christina.

And excited that Daddy is coming home tomorrow.

Happy Valentine's Weekend

XOXO

We miss you, Daddy.

My sister, Christina is visiting for the long weekend! Thanks, Tia!

She came to Kid's Crafts with us.

Camila cheered us on...

More fun...

Liv wants to show off her climbing tree.

The weather has been great!

We went for a nice hike today.

Stopped for some sidewalk chalk fun!

Had fun tracing our shadow!

Jingle Bells

Thanks, C for the great bells!

As you can see, Liv loves 'em!!

Hicups & Buggies

warning:

may put you to sleep!

Favorite Things

Well, actually, we have a lot of favorite things.

But a new favorite "game" (Thanks, Mrs. Marlys) is PlayDoh.

and a special treat ... when we're out on a "big car trip" is "Go to restaurant - have meatball sandwich?"

Trip to the Library

In an effort to put some structure in our day and keep from feeling lonely...

We've planned some outings for the mornings this week.

Today for example, we went to the library...

we picked out some new books and joined Miss Sandie's Story Time

Liv was intent on observing everyone & everything...

she missed some of the participation games,
but we brought home some new songs and sang them after nap!

Baby Camila is doing very well. Eating well and even sleeping for hours at a time at night (woo-hoo!)

I'll try to get some new pictures up here soon.

Grandma & Grandpa's last day

Liv's all dressed up like a little Valentine's Present.

Kicking back & catching up on some video time.

Waiting for the train & enjoying some Bubbles!

an important lesson for Mommy about staying in the moment.

Yes - goodbyes are sad - but playing together is joyous!

Liv wanted so bad to get on the train with Grandpa & Grandma.

... maybe next time, kiddo!

Family Fun & New Camila Pics

FLYING!!!

Daddy took Liv for a spin after working in the garage.

Woo-Hoo!

Dancing with Grandpa!

Thanks, C for the Bells - they're AWESOME!

And thanks Marlys for the Sling... Looks like a winner!

Little Milly-Bean in a Pod.
