My little Pixie

Monday, May 6th, 2013

Sienna is more and more alert and awake everyday, probably up to 5 hours a day. Brendan and I took her to see the movie MUD this morning, she didn’t make a squeak (and a great movie!).

Here is my little pixie this arvo soaking in the sun – and a comparison photo of Page at the same age here.

Sunday, May 5th, 2013

Page’s school puts on a spectacular Art Show for all the kids every spring. Every room in the school was transformed into a gallery to display works by each of the age groups. Here are just a few pieces that Page either made or had a part in the making of…

Go Daddy!

Sunday, May 5th, 2013

Brendan did the Gatos Hill Crit on Saturday and did pretty well for his first time. The course was 14 laps around one of the more beautiful neighborhoods in Los Gatos and included a brutal 22% climb. Page had so much fun dressing up in her biking outfit and ringing her bell to cheer in Daddy! According to Page, her and Dad were BFF’s that day because they had matching outfits.

We are bringing Sienna into the bedtime routine. A few books in bed, a few snuggles, some monkey business and then hopefully sleep…

Why did we choose the name Sienna?

Friday, May 3rd, 2013

While in between contractions we passed the time making some silly videos. Here I am trying to explain why we chose the name Sienna Belle. We thought long and hard about this one. There were a few contenders but this name seemed to fit the best.

Sienna’s first hike – one week old

Friday, May 3rd, 2013

While Page was at school today Brendan and I took advantage of some alone time with Sienna. She has much more alert today and spent from 9-11 this morning taking in her surroundings. Today I am feeling great and decided it would be a good time to venture out on the trails. The weather here has been absolutely gorgeous. We took Sienna on the Sanborn trail just above our house. Its an easy 4 mile hike to the lake and back.  Afterwards we headed to Saratoga and enjoyed a nice lunch on the patio at a main street bistro. I am going to really miss it when Brendan has to go back to work!
