playing in napa

One of my dear friends, Dianne, had a little baby boy exactly 3 months after Maddy was born. While she was on maternity leave, we met to enjoy the sunshine and company of another new mom. Dianne and I worked at rev prep together and are so excited to have little ones so close in age!

maddy is six months old! (august 22, 2012)

Our little lady is six months old! She has two bottom teeth, crawls all over the place, adores her brother and daddy, and nurses every 3-4 hours like clockwork (even at night!). She is an absolute joy!!

Labor day lake love

Another holiday, another cabin rental with the Willis family! We rented this little gem over labor day weekend:

It had an awesome sunny front deck and was situated on a quiet street. The kids enjoyed the sun!

It got pretty chilly at night and was in the morning too, so we were thankful for the inside play area.

We spent some time on the beach too!!

Maddy yelling at the big kids. She wouldn't go in the sand, so she would sit and yell for their attention. Mostly an, "aaaack" to call her big brother!!

pumpkin patching at erickson ranch!

Yay!! It's pumpkin time!!!!

Last weekend, between a baby shower and dinner in sf with friends (kind of the best adult weekend in a loooong time!!!), mom and I loaded up the kids and ventured to Erickson ranch for a little fall fun.

I just love pumpkins! These are the best orange color!

Cute gourd-geous displays!

A scarecrow and a pumpkin patch!

One beautiful baby sis, enjoying her first Indian summer (it was over 90*)!

Gran and jack picking one off the vine,

and brining that lucky guy home :).

Completing the afternoon with a posed picture:

If I'm up, I should at least blog, right?

Long time, no blog. It's been super busy 'round here. Busy with all sorts of baby-developing and kiddo fun! Busy with house projects and personal projects. It's been really really GOOD. That's the good news! The bad news is that I've neglected the blog. Yeah, it's not the end of the world, but it IS the only baby book/photo album/record keeping that i keep! And I enjoy it. SO.... Enter blogsy and our iPad and our baby that doesn't sleep!!!! If I'm up, I should at least blog, right?

 

 

This is precious baby girl at lunch in napa... What? Sleep????

 

Meets hope this venue allows me to get some of our happenings on the blog. I just need to update my Picasa to grab recent photos and boom! Blogging while nursing!
