Drawings of a 2 year old
Maisie likes to draw. She did this one a little while ago now and I can't remember what she said it was? Maybe it was me!?
Finally Feels Like Spring
On Sunday we had a nice family outing to a local trail. We went to the Hayward Reservoir Trail and Steelhead Falls. The kids like to go the "forest" (as they call it) and Rocky (our dog) is was heaven with the freedom to run!
Ambrose was picking up rocks like they were the last ones ever to be found and by the end of the walk he was off the rocks an onto the sticks! He and Maisie were prentending to fish off the trail in the ferns and looking for bo-bo's or singing about bo-bo's ??? They talk about them alot these bo-bo's and we don't know what or who they are or what they do??

Steelhead Falls
Waterfalls never look quite as pretty in pictures as they really are!

I Jumping in Puddles!
Maisie came upstairs at after supper last night sporting this outfit! We asked her what she was doing? She said with a great big grin on her face, "I jumping in puddles!!" We laughed, and laughed! Of course you are! You have on your rain hat and puddle boots! She then proceeded to jump around the family room splashing in her make believe puddles!

We've Misplaced Something.....
SPRING!! Where is Spring? Where is the warm sunshine that draws you outside? The warm air that makes you feel like you should go and plants some flowers? Where is that Spring? It has been misplaced somewhere!
Well, it seems there is not too much to report around here, but I am sure once I start typing I will think of things. I cannot believe we have been here in our new place for 5 months now! It does NOT feel like it at all!!! It seems way shorter than that! Maybe because I still don't feel settled in here. I had all kinds of reasons as to why that was, but now I am not sure? Maybe it takes a year? Maybe 2? Maybe I thought I would be settled in 2 months? That is probably more like it.
Life is going well. Andrew's still finds his job interesting and challenging and enjoys the variety. He is still traveling a fair amount making several trips away from home during the month. We are all used to that now.
Ambrose and Maisie are 2 1/2 now and talking like crazy. We have started potty training and one of them is getting the hang of it while the other has NO interest what so ever! We are also having some sleep issues right now, but I am sure that it must a normal phase and we hope to pass through it quickly. (please!please! I need some sleep!)
Easter was fun this year as it was the kids first Easter where they sort of got the gist of what to do. Although we made the rookie parent mistake of having the Easter Egg Hunt in the morning BEFORE breakfast! WHAT WERE WE THINKING??? Now who wants to eat a bowl of porridge when you have a whole basket of chocolate in front of you!? OK, we learned from that one!
The kids are really great buddies right now. Well, I am sure that they always will be, but it is really neat to see on a daily basis the bond they share with each other.

We've Moved
As most of you are aware of by now, we have moved to Mission. I won't give details, but will just say that it was a TRYING move from the first day the For Sale sign went up until the very last box was moved into our new home! It was a LONG 4 months I tell ya!!!
This is what boxes are for!!

The first accident
I have some catching up to do with this blog!! Here it is '08 and I am reporting on something that happened in October!
Our first major accident of sorts......... at the end of October, after their birthdays and before Halloween, Maisie fell down on some ceramic tile and broke her two front teeth. She was FINE! No, blood, or cuts, just clean broke them off (or chipped them I guess?). I was devastated! I think because of how she looked. It was coming up to Halloween and she looked a little vampire like and that broke my heart!
A trip to the dentist revealed no further damage. Thank goodness!
That is yogurt on her face in case you were wondering..... it was really hard to get her to open her mouth for a pic!

Happy Birthday to Us!
October is such a lovely month to have a Birthday! Of course, I am bias!!! Myself, Ambrose and Maisie all celebrated another year older! Well, I wasn't really "celebrating" this year. I am not sure why? 37 is not such a bad number, but I was just feeling like I didn't want to acknowledge it this year.
2 years old Ambrose & Maisie! Now THAT was worth celebrating!!

Addison
My sister & husband (Cindy & Mike) are doing well and baby Addison continues to grow!! That little girl is chubby for a little new born! She is soooo cute though with her pudgy lil thighs! I loved holding her! I cannot even believe my kids were THAT small and they were 2 lbs smaller!! I acted as though I had never held a baby before and Cindy was laughing at me and how cautious and gentle I was being undoing her sleeper when it was time for change!! LOL! How quickly you forget I guess??
I think Carsen will LOVE being a big sister and will eventually be mommy's lil' helper!
