Week in Review...Heatwave!

Monday we started swim lessons and Lily loved it.   Its mostly to get her used to the water.  It was cold and raining, luckily the pool was 85.  Lily also joined me at work on Monday because Jessica's son had the stomach flu.  It was a bit challenging but fun at the same time...everyone took turns playing and hanging out with her.

Fun in the pool...even if it was cold!

Tuesday we had playgroup at Kristina's.  We had planned to have a pool party, but again the weather wasn't on our side.  But that babies enjoyed playing while the momma's enjoyed some homemade fish tacos.
Hi mom
always more fun with other people's toys
Wednesday we had our weekly walk with Melissa and Jack and then ran a bunch of errands.
A little playtime before bed
Thursday the heatwave hit.  We've been in 100 degree temps since then...ugh!

Friday after work my friend from Duckhorn Sally and her husband came over for pizza and wine.  They were going to start helping us with our bathroom demo but it was way too hot so we just enjoyed the deck.

Saturday I worked in the brutal heat, while Rollie had Lily and started our bathroom demo.  Him and Lily also walked around Target and he got a haircut to beat the heat in some nice a/c.  Saturday evening we headed down to Petaluma after I got home from work, had dinner, walked around town and got some ice cream.  Great summer night.
95 degrees means eating outside at 7:30am!

Today Rollie and Kai finished our bathroom demo while Cameron, Micaela and I had a nice morning walk before it got too hot.  After our walk Micaela and I took the girls for a dip in their pool before meeting the guys for a great lunch at a new beer place, Heritage Public House.  After lunch the three of us came home and all napped for almost 2 hours!  After nap time I worked in the yard while Rollie and Lily played in the baby pool.  Pretty great Sunday.

In the thick of it

Hopefully monthly blogging won't become a habit.  Life has just been crazy.  April was a big blur. We host a bi annual pick up party at work and for the months of April and October I'm pretty much a working like mad or exhausted from working like mad.  Then it took a week to feel normal again! I'm also working split days at the moment (off on Sunday/Tuesday) and its really not fun.  I can't truly enjoy a weekend and its really hard to decompose on Sundays knowing that I have to work the next day.  Hopefully I only 2 more months of it until Piper can start at Lily's preschool/daycare. Rollie was a rock-star Dad as always, taking care of not only the girls but me too.  I know there were days that I was grumpy and not myself.  They did come to visit me one day during the craziness and that helped! Lily is wonderful 90% of the time and a threenager the other 10%.  It's absolutely amazing what a 3.5 year old absorbs and their tiny little imaginations are just the

May (or better known as my Birthday Month)

I took the girls to the Museum again-it was a hot one! That afternoon we enjoyed some Popsicles on the deck. One night after work we made a Home Depot run and then decided it was too hot to cook so we took the girls to Pieology. We brought bagels to the teachers for Teacher Appreciation Week. We celebrated May The 4th with our Star wars gear. I had a work dinner one evening and we spoiled my Manager with baby stuff for his soon to be baby girl. Lily, Ariya & Ensley had their first official sleepover at Ensleys house. We had framily over for a late cinco de mayo dinner. My mom sent the girls super cute matching dresses. Rollie set up a day date for us in Napa.  We went to Freemark Abbey, Goose & Gander for lunch and then Cardinale.  It was such a lovely day just the two of us.  Janet was in town so she hung out with Piper and Lily went to Kerry and Kristen's and enjoyed the pool and a nap on the Farm.

Comparison

I started reading blogs almost 5 years ago. It first started with following a few photographers when I was laid off and thinking of pursuing a career in the photography field (that didn't happen), then it was home improvement blogs after we bought our first house (and I still follow many of those), and most recently pregnancy blogs that have now in a way turned into 'mommy' blogs.  I really enjoy reading a select few women's journeys through motherhood.  I even follow some of these women on Instagram and in a way some of us have become IG 'friends'.  Two of them posted about a topic today that I really can relate to.   Comparison is the thief of joy.   We are surrounded by Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, Reality tv, Blogs and Pintrest that it is WAY to easy to find ways to compare our lives with those we know as well as complete strangers.  I work in the luxury wine industry and I meet people everyday that don't even blink at dropping a mortgage payment worth
