Rosie turns TWO!

We love our Rosie girl! She turned two August 10th, and due to scheduling/traveling schedules, we just got to celebrate recently.
Rosie wore an adorable dress that Heather made for her just for the occasion.

A tiny table for two. The girls dined together on cheeseburgers and corn on the cob on little pink pig plates.

We love you, Rosie!

What's in your carry-on, Miss?

Some people hate small, confined spaces. Lucy seems to gravitate toward them.

Baby Brains

I know.
I have fallen off the bloggin wagon again. Blame it on the smoke in the air? The gigantic baby smooshing up my internal organs? The school year in full force? Who knows.

The good thing is, just because we haven't posted any fun doesn't mean we aren't having any fun.

And thank goodness I have friends and family who HAVE posted some fun.

Thanks friends and family for letting me steal your creativity.

Bear hug

I always knew it was nice to hug your stuffed bear as you drifted off to sleep. . . I just didn't realize that sometimes they hug you back.

Night night Luie.

Bass Lake

We decided to spend the weekend in my old hometown of Oakhurst/Bass Lake! What a magical and nostalgic weekend we had!

It's very strange to stay in a hotel in the town where you spent your formative years, but at the same time, it added a feeling of adventure. We swam in the lake, ate at favorite restaurants (The Pizza Factory, El Cid, The Forks, Miller's Landing) and spent some great quality time with the Heather and Ron, who were up finishing their summer at camp. They treated us to some fun camp time including a leisurely cruise around the lake. We even got to go back to Sierra Vista and see some favorite people.

What a great weekend!
7 months pregnant! (31 weeks) This boy is getting BIG.


Rosie and Lucy threw rocks into the lake. . . Simon threw his share as well.

Summerland Beach

An incredible afternoon at one of our favorite spots, Summerland Beach. Lucy is a huge fan of sand, and spent most of her time feverishly digging. She also enjoyed time splashing in the waves with Dada.
