Start of Summer

I'm a bit behind after getting back from Chicago.

We had Lilys end of year preschool ceremony.


It actually rained.


Rollie and I had a date night while Grandma Janet was here.


I had a great Stella &Dot show at Jean Claires.


We had a fun family pizza night at the Patels to say goodbye to their old house before moving to a new one here in Santa Rosa.


I went up to Goldeneye with some work friends.  The girls did great.

We enjoyed some outdoor meals.

Grandma Anne came up for and afternoon and dinner.


I had the stomach flu for 4 days. No fun.

We celebrated Fathers Day with breakfast out, a long walk at Spring Lake, and naps :)


We enjoyed the baby pool and hot temps this past week.


I had some friends stop by for a visit while they were in town wine tasting.


Lily and I snuggled one morning (since I was still not 100%).

I had a work picnic at Three Palms Vineyard.


Lily loves her trampoline.

K&K came over for a BBQ.


I had a mothers night out at a pottery painting studio, super fun.


Diane was on vacation this past week so Piper had fun at three different playdates.  I have the best friends anyone could ask for.  I know that its not an easy task to watch a 9 month old all day, so I thank you all so much!!  Piper played with Ruby on Wednesday, Quinn and Ensley on Thursday and Jackie on Friday.  Kasey even snapped a few 'real' pics of Piper.

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 imaginatio...

21 Weeks

21 weeks Cooking time: 21 weeks, 1 day Weight gain: +4...I'm thinking from here on out it will probably be 1 pound a week since it was slow to come on in the beggining.  I think this is the ONLY time in my life that I've been called small by several people that know how far along I am.  I've struggled with weight since college, so maybe this is god's kind way of saying...you won't be one of those people who put on 50-60 pounds during pregnancy. Maternity clothes: oh yeah...I LOVE my grey maxi skirt from Target, I think I'll go grab the black one tonight :) Food cravings: red meat still...had a nice burger for lunch today and chocolate...I indulged in a bit too much Easter candy Food dislikes: frozen peas are the only thing I've found so far Missing: Sleeping through the night and beer...I've really been craving a nice cold beer latley and the non-alcholic stuff is crap so its not even worth the calories. What we've been up to: On Saturday ...

My latest read...

I have lots to blog about, Chicago, Michigan, our recent weekend in San Fran...but this comes first.  Last week I was doing my usual 'before bedtime Facebook scan', and I came across a post from a High School friend.  Maggie had posted an article about Natalie Taylors new memoir, 'Signs of Life'.  I knew it was going to be released  this Winter/Spring but it had slipped my mind.  I immediately went onto Amazon and ordered it.  I got the book Thursday and I'll be done tonight (I have 2 more chapters to go).  I'm not a fast reader.  Rollie can back me up on this one.  I got about 6 books for Christmas and I've only finished one so far, and I'm in the middle of two others.  Rollie would have had all of them finished and probably would have bought a few more by now. But back to the point.  A little background on Natalie...Natalie was married to Josh Taylor, one of my closest friends brother and someone that...
