Clearly I Have the Laptop

Obviously, since I just posted three new posts, it must be my turn for the laptop!! I suppose you'll have to pardon my once-monthly posting! We are still sorting out the computer in our house! I have been meaning to post on the subject of Sunday mornings for a while now, but generally speaking I am so tired from them that I don't have the emotional energy to relive them in writing. So I read this post on a friend's blog...if you want some insight into my Sunday's this pretty much captures it! Thanks for capturing my life for me Hilary!

Sleepover


A few weeks ago, Wyatt went on a sleepover to my parents house. I didn't tell him that papa would be coming to get him until the evening as to avoid the nagging questions about why papa is taking so long all day! Within five minutes, Wyatt was in his jammies with his backpack on his back and a few toys for the road! He left on a Thursday evening and my sister drove him back to our house on Saturday. He had a great time with papa and memaw all to himself! I had an interesting two days remembering what two children (just girls) was like. My house has never looked so clean or seemed so quiet! We had a great time too! Addie Grace did shed a few tears that she wasn't allowed to go to the sleepover, but she gets the next turn!

Grapes


My mom bought these organic grapes at the Farmer's Market over a month ago. They were so beautiful and so delicious! I had to take a picture to capture the memory because I am not sure anything has melted in my mouth quite like these grapes! On the subject of Farmer's Markets...we have a quaint little market that is about three blocks from our house. We've been visiting weekly and the kids love the samples! There really is nothing like fresh tasting local produce!

What we've been up to...
















In order of appearance I'll give a little background on the photos...the first are just some updates of the kids. Lila made her debut with rice cereal a while back and we caught that on camera. Wyatt had his birthday right after we moved. He turned four and had a great party at my aunts and a fun celebration with family. He had birthday visitors for a whole week it seemed! He got the superman costume for his birthday! And finally, some pics of the apartment. My favorite is Addie Grace's big girl bed! I don't know what it is about it but it just makes me smile when I see it all tiny and cute! We've enjoyed our first month here in Tustin. We took a trip to dog beach recently which Sierra really enjoyed! Just last night our small group BBQ at Doheny State Park on the beach. It is so great to be back by the coast!
