why bother with a bib? this girl has a special way with food! I can say good bye to baby food. she really wants what we have on our plate and won't be silent until she gets it!

holiday happenings...

ellinor christmas morning. she was very much interested in eating the paper!

Our first go at gingerbread homes! always more candy in the mouth then on the house!

Olivia marveling at her Lulu the ladybug books. Now her collection is complete, until march, when two new books are released!

A little different year picking our tree. we still went up in the hills. The girls were bundled up fairly well, but still caught a cold!

Yuck. On our trip back from visiting the Hocker's in Redmond. This took about a half hour to clean up. We set Olivia on a tarp and hosed her down!

oh. my. goodness! Has it really been 5 months since my last post? I could swear in those five minutes of silence that happen before my head hits the pillow I must have posted! I am not even sure where to start. So to save those few precious moments that I do get, here is the short and sweet....

brown trout...

only the most memorable times get photographed in our home! ha. here is her first poop on the potty. oh the things you celebrate as a parent!

red, white and blue

We took our girls to their first parade! Ridgefield really knows how to put on an old fashion hometown celebration! In the early evening we moved our fire pit out to the road to see the show our neighbors had financed. Olivia asked to go to bed around 8pm, i think she was a little frightened by the loud noises. Both girls slept through the night-amazing.

JJ took a few days off before the fourth to spend some time with our BFF's from Redmond. Their two kids are so adorable and i was estatic to get our kids together. Good weather + good food + lots of laughs + minimal tears+some sleep=an awesome time! My only complaint was that i wish we had more time...maybe next year we can plan ahead a little more!
