The two littles are in full melt-down mode from our long and exciting day today. Do you think they’ll notice if I move bedtime up an hour?

[Home]school
A glimpse of our first day of [home]school. Cate sat in on Bree’s lesson and didn’t want to stop!
Yuck
When my kids are grown and invite me over for dinner, I must be sure to say “Yuck. This is yucky. I like the noodles but not the sauce. Why is there onions in this? It’s too spicy. How much do I have to eat before I can have dessert?” and various other sayings that […]
Toothpaste
Of course it would be Cate that would eat toothpaste and make me have to call Poison Control. (No worries; turns out she didn’t cross over into the toxic zone.) Miss Cater-tot decided she was done with nap time and sneakily hopped out of her crib (which is already turned backwards against the wall to […]
Las Vegas
Greg and I aren’t fond of making decisions or having to plan things, so when our vacation plans to Phoenix (to visit family) fell through on the evening before we were to leave, we weren’t sure what to do. I was stressed about having to make new plans. So we came up with the idea […]
Carmel-by-the-Sea
Our road trip brought us to the Pacific Ocean, where the girls enjoyed playing in the sand and watching the mesmerizing waves. It was a bit chilly, but our time on the beach was still a highlight of our trip. This was Cate’s first time seeing the Pacific Ocean. She would giggle with glee as […]
Yosemite
We spent an afternoon in Yosemite National Park. Parking was awful, but once we found a spot, we enjoyed a leisurely hike along a river, taking in the sights. El Capitan was truly magnificent!
Moab
We stayed the night with Greg’s former coworker from his Sun Microsystems days, Andrew, and his family at their home in Moab, Utah. The first day we were there, they took us to Dead Horse Canyon. (We didn’t tell Bree what the name of the place was.) While we were there, we heard a rumbling […]
Winnie the Pooh
Cate found this costume in her closet and asked me to put it on. It may end up being her Halloween costume. We’ll see.
Zoo Trip
We had a nice afternoon at the Denver Zoo. The girls enjoyed the new water feature / play area near the polar bears. I love the toddler hair. Her hair is getting so long. (She’s had several trims already.) My baby is growing up too quickly. I love kissing those cheeks!
