Lots of laundry happening in our house. Ian's cutting his first tooth, and has started to eat his first foods. So far he's had rice cereal, winter squash, and today he ate an entire avocado! To say he likes to eat is an understatement- he gets mad if you don't keep his mouth full of food at all times when he's eating.

Cooper's found a new fashion style, and has discovered whole carrots!

Visit with Nana (or, "Thank you, Allegiant Air!")

Allegiant Air has been such a gift for us, with their cheap, direct service to San Diego. Case in point was my mom's visit this weekend. Cooper was so thrilled to wake up Friday morning and see his Nana, and Chris and I were thrilled to have some "project" time. Chris has been building bookshelves for the boys, and I managed to dig through a bunch of stuff that we moved from our other house, but have not looked at since. We even got to have a date!

Here are some pictures from the weekend:

Farmers' Market













Cooper must have eaten a full serving of Pad Thai!



















The Fish Hatchery
The kids loved watching all the big salmon swimming.

A Treat...

It is 9 a.m. on Tuesday,it's rainy and stormy, and I'm doing something I haven't done in months- laying in bed. After being up from 3:30-5:30 this morning, Ian's still asleep. Chris is off today, and got up with Cooper about 7, and then brought me coffee & the laptop
(since we don't get the paper) about 8:45. What a treat.


Flashback to summer.
