Camping!

Sunday, July 20th, 2014

We had a wonderful weekend up in Tahoe. We spent the first night at the Naylors and on Saturday we packed up the troops and headed off for Sienna’s first camping trip. We hiked in a mile to a beautiful spot overlooking a an alpine lake. It was Nora’s birthday and Tim made a s’more cake and since no campfires were allowed, it was the perfect gift for everyone. We went on nature walks and found lots of goodies for Page and Nick’s ‘collection’. The kids also got a turtle back ride in the lake out to the island. The water was gorgeous and the perfect temperature. Sienna loved the big ‘bath’. We had a wonderful time!

Happy Birthday SB!

Thursday, May 1st, 2014

Brendan flew to Milwaukee for SB’s birthday. It was so nice to see him after 3 weeks away! It was a warmer spring day so we took a hike down to a beach on Lake Michigan. We had some sandwich’s (Sienna had a real sandwich) and played around in the sand, such a beautiful spot. Later that day we had a small Bday party for Sienna. I can’t believe she in ONE!

Fun w/ cousins

Thursday, May 1st, 2014

 

We made it to Milwaukee mid April to spend time w/ Grandpa Jim and to attend Page’s second cousin Megan’s Bat Mitzvah. We tried to spend lots of time with Megan and Sara. They are the sweetest girls and love playing with Page and Sienna. Sara is a bit of a baby whisperer, Sienna couldn’t get enough of her! We tried to have a picnic at the Audubon Center but it was toooo cold, so we went for a quick hike to the lookout tower and then back inside for some snacks. Milwaukee in April can still be freezing! Screen Shot 2014-05-01 at 8.35.26 AM

Sledding w/ the Naylor’s!

Sunday, March 2nd, 2014

 

We had the best weekend up in Tahoe at the Naylor’s. It has finally snowed enough to go sledding in their backyard. Page and Nic were super charged all weekend, sledding, skiing, sledding, playing, hot cocoa… Hannah and Sienna got their intro to sledding, too. Huge props to Nora  and Tim for opening their home to us, great fun and conversations. But I still think Nora and I deserve a medal for orchestrating this sledding session. Yes, the Dad’s were out touring… But it was so worth it. Such a great time!page-nick-hug1

Hot Mom Alex organised a weekend trip to the mountains with our friends from our New York trip, Hot Mom Julie, Monkeyfish and Hot Dad David.

The Squaw Valley tram was worth the ride. Sienna and Alex tagged along, while Page and I skied at the top of the mountain.

Sienna had a bit of a cold, probably due to even more teeth coming through. She perked up on Sunday, watching Page ski at Soda Springs.
