Pumpkin Farm 2009

We headed out to the Clayton Valley Pumpkin Farm (p.s. if you click the hyperlink you will see an adorable goldfish on their website!) a couple of times this year.  We did Sophie’s pictures first and then went back to take some of Violet.  We hadn’t decided at the start if we were getting a costume for [...]

1 Month and Potty-Trained!

Of course, I don’t mean Vi is potty-trained… that would be super impressive and probably impossible.  But we are super happy that after 1 rough day, and a couple not so bad days, our Booger is POTTY-TRAINED… it took a lot of princess stickers, crown stickers and a promise of watching her new Snow White movie [...]

Princesses on Ice

Saturday we took Sophie on a Mommy/Daddy date, without Violet (thanks Mom for watching her for us!).  We had planned this before Vi came, knowing that Sophie would love Disney Princesses in any capacity and that she made need an afternoon with just Mom and Dad.  Sophie, armed with her Cinderella dress and wand was [...]

A few recent projects…

I have been posting about my girls a lot, for obvious reason, but I have done a couple other things that I wanted to document here also, so this is a slight tangent from the normal postings. 
Before I left on maternity I made a cute project for my boss (who was leaving the week before I was due).  [...]

Birthday Trip

So we went into San Francisco for Jeff’s birthday, we wanted to see the Blue Angels flight show.  We waited for over an hour before we gave up, we saw two whole fly-bys, which was good so Sophie could see SOMETHING, we had been promising airplanes and twirls in the air for a day and [...]

Another Haircut

My regular readers (Hi Mom and Dad!) may recall the last time we cut Sophie’s hair.  It was really just a trim, and was totally necessary to get rid of the “rat tail” that had originated at birth.  Today, Chelsea, hairdresser extraordinaire, gave Sophie her first hairstyle.  It will make me really happy, I am [...]

Happy Birthday Jeff

I know it is a little late, but, well, I have no real excuses… just me not getting online to post anything.  I know he wanted to be at Disney… but a slightly disappointing trip to see the Blue Angels will have to do!  Either way… my annual (maybe bi-annual) tribute to Jeff…
He is, as [...]

Enter… Week 2

Well, I’m still here, and not too much exciting has happened… we are working on survival, but I do love my 2 girls.  Sophie was sick last week, so it was a little more trying than the first week, she was super clingy and only wanted Mom.  That made everything a little more tricky.  Anyhow.  [...]

We’ve Survived…

The first week, at least.  So, not much has happened, we are trying to figure out the whole newborn thing, again.  It seems that you just forget it as soon as possible, that way you keep having more kids…  Sophie is still loving Violet, still hates when we leave her, she seems to not have [...]
