Happy Easter!

Sunday, March 31st, 2013

We took Page to the Roaring Fork Valley for a ride on a steam train and an Easter egg hunt. She was very excited to see the Easter Bunny Rabbit and search for eggs and chocolate. She was very sweet and saved some candy for her baby sister (or maybe she didn’t like the type of candy). She went without a nap today and this has been by far one of the easiest nights to get her down. Maybe that is the secret…

Aptos Saturday and 35 week bump

Sunday, March 24th, 2013

It’s getting harder to move around. If I had my way I would be horizontal all day long. This baby has some serious strong kicks. But I am trying to not be a complete sloth so Brendan’s job is to motivate me to get out and get moving. Saturday we drove down to Aptos and met some friends at Burger. There is nothing like a good burger to motivate me these days! Afterwards we took the kiddos for a sunset walk down at the beach.

We are down to the last month, YAY! We have almost everything in place at home. We just have to dust off a few things, strollers, car seats. etc. Page has grown up so quickly, we are excited to report that we have reached two major milestones. She is now potty trained and she is sleeping in her own bed ALL NIGHT! We still struggle trying to get her to sleep. She is the master of procrastinating and it still could take up to two hours before she actually drifts off. But its a step in the right direction and just in time!

All about the tutu’s

Thursday, March 21st, 2013

Page has worn a tutu to school everyday this week. She has a school tutu, a home tutu and a dance class tutu. When we get home from school she will dance for as long as we will let her. Twirling and twirling, trying to mimic the mouse Angelina Ballerina from her favorite Netflix show. Thursday’s don’t come soon enough, its dance class day and she gets to wear the REAL tutu. After class today we are going shopping for some clothes for the new baby and of course, we HAVE to get the new baby a tutu!

Early Spring Garden

Monday, March 18th, 2013

Brendan lugged home a car load of good soil and compost tonight so we can have a go at our early spring garden. We planted rows of peas, lettuce and carrots. We have a good couple days of rain ahead so hopefully the plants will hold!

Thanks Wawa!

Wednesday, March 13th, 2013

Page spent Sunday evening with Tata and her family while Brendan and I had a rare night out alone. Wawa, Page’s nickname for Tata’s Dad, made her this cute little birdhouse. Page recently received a report card that states she loves art class at school. She could paint all day if we let her. Tomorrow we’ll hang the birdhouse in Page’s garden and see if it gets any action!

34 Week Ultrasound

Tuesday, March 12th, 2013

We went to get the 34th week ultrasound today. We did the same with Page at 35 weeks and the pictures came out great. We were hoping for the same this time but the baby had her back to the camera and her head very tucked away. At the very end we were able to get a shot of her face. Eek! She is so cute!

Here is a pic at around 35 weeks for Page.
