At the hardware store looking at the nuts to fix the stroller.
I find the isle with the nuts i said I was looking for.
Ainsley says, “Mom, please don’t buy these nuts. I don’t think I will like them.”
Leaving the store about to walk home, it starts to rain.
I say “oh no, we are going to get all wet. I might have t call Daddy to pick us up.”
Ainsely “ Mom, Dad cannot pick you up! You are too big! Daddy can only pick me up.”
On the walk home she hops out of the stroller while we are on a busy street.
Me “Ainsley, get back in the stroller. We are on a busy street!”
Ainsley “ No we are not on a busy street Mom.”
Me “Yes we are Ainse, see all the cars.”
Ainsley “Yes, THEY are on the street, but WE are on the SIDEWALK!”
Lesson of the day — Choose my words very carefully.

There are many things we have enjoyed about living in Southern California.
We enjoy the sunshine and beach year round.
We have great parks, storytimes and an awesome zoo.
The hardest part has been missing living near family and enjoying the many friendships we shared in San Jose.
New friends is something we’ve been praying for over the past year and I’m so happy and blessed that God has brought some fun friends into ourlives during this new year.


Storytime @ SB library. We made Cats. Ainsley named hers “Belle” Emmie named hers “Daddy”

it was a beautiful afternoon at the Beach!

Special treat for good listeners

we made edible peanutbuttter playdough too!
The girls have become quite the funny ladies lately. These are some of their favorite things.

We love Christmas!! Every night we ask if it will be Christmas again when we wake-up.

We love to run at Dog Beach.

Emmie got a piano from Santa. She loves to play Mary had a little Lamb and have everyone sing-a-long.

Ainsley is a dare devil on her scooter from Granddad. She loves to ride it in the Park and through the house. She's a pro at a one foot hop.

Emmie is obsessed with wearing her bathing suit. She also loves hats and glasses. My little fashionista.

Emmie is very attached to her paci still. I think the binky fairy will be making a trip to our house shortly.

We love to wash our hands and end up without our clothes cause they "were a little bit wet Mom." (log into flickr to see this pic- "friends/family" only)

We like to paint and make hand-prints.

Helping make cookies and licking the spoon in a favorite pastime.

It was a relaxing day. We first started out with some toe painting.


which turned into funny faces
these are our new “say cheese for the camera” smiles


It was time to get outta the house so Mom strapped on her new running shoes and we headed uphill to the park.

We enjoyed our favorite activity- The swings!!
\
Ainsley informed me her hat was bothering her.

I needed to fix it and apparently this

is fixed.
then it was onto lunch


we brought the usual apple, carrots, cereal and our latest obsession, Edamame.
Emmie decided she needed to fit in some yoga after the long stroller ride home

then it was upstairs for a prolonged savasana in the crib.

Wow.. is anyone still out there? Anyways, lets forget that there’s no update for the last 11! months and move forward.
The girls have been down with a cold the last week or so which made for an uneventful Halloween. Unfortunately we missed out on all the parties but did manage to wander over to a few neighbors houses. The girls were very curious as to why they were being urged to grab candy from a bowl but once the concept caught on they were all for it. I was surprised that their favorite part of the night was passing out candy to the trick-or-treaters. Ainsley loved putting each piece in their bags and as the kids left both girls would hold their little arms out with a candy, yelling ” Mo.. Mooo Moore..” It was too cute!
