*An old post* Sunshiny weekend

An old post that never made it up - Nov 2012 I think-

This weekend we had two glorious days of sunshine and blue skies! It was cold, but we got outside to soak it in. We headed to Carkeek park - a gorgeous park with trails, a playground and a beach with sound and mountain views. Saturday was mostly enjoying the beach and Sunday we went back to walk on the trails a bit.

Family visits!

We've had lots of visitors with the arrival of baby Max! These pictures are from the first few weeks of August. Bubbie Linda & grandma Darlene were staying with us when the baby arrived. Zadie Ernie & Nanna Sharon drive up to be here for Max's bris. Finally Auntie Jeanne and Izzy came fir a bit to help out!

We are looking forward to more visits as hopefully the east coast contingent will visit soon as well!

Zadie Ernie with baby Max!



The day of the bris was also Riah's last day if dance class - the only time they allowed visitors. Moriah had the biggest cheering section in the place! (including Rob who was the photographer!)



The girls danced like little toy dolls!






She kept running over for kisses!




Bubbie Linda & the kiddos!






Nanna Sharon got in some snuggles!



Sleepy max on his zadie.



Bubbie and Riah made blueberry muffins.


Moriah helped crack the eggs.

The morning book!

We used to read this book to Moriah every morning and now she's enjoying reading it with us to Max!

So this past week (or so) has been crazy! We enjoyed a wonderful visit from my sister Jeanne & my niece Izzy. They were super helpful with Moriah and Max, especially during bedtime which has started to become Max's "power hour" as Jeanne calls the colicky time. Note: I have now invested a small fortune in colic remedies. Jeanne & Isabelle went home on Monday, along with Jeanne's husband Tom who came up for the weekend. Our house is now quiet for a while after 4 weeks of visitors...well as quiet as a house can be with a 3 1/2 yr old and a 3 1/2 week old!!

We have also been fortunate enough to have some friends deliver a few meals. This has been such a blessing and we feel so lucky to have made some great friends in Seattle. Dinner time gets difficult with toddler tantrums and baby colic. I keep reminding myself that both of these things are temporary (thank goodness!!!)

Below are some pics from the last week(ish). these pics are just from my phone. I am still figuring out this blogging thing and have more good pics to publish from the camera. for now these will have to suffice as I mostly sneak in blogging here and there on my iphone!

Hope you enjoy...if you do, feel free to scroll to the bottom of the blog and click on "subscribe" so that you can get emails when I/we put up new pics.

Morning stretches...


The moby is my new best friend! Max is definitely happiest when being worn. We alternate between this one and the ring sling (Thanks Heather for the recommendation!!)



I wore the Max in the moby to go outside and blow bubbles with Riah.



She loved chasing them!


Happy girl!



Snug as a bug... (sleeping max in the bouncy seat means a hands free dinner for mom & dad!)


...but not for long! I'm awake. Someone pick me up :)


Alert and enjoying his bath!


Aunty Jeanne and Izzy trying to get one last picture before they go.


Moriah was tired and crabby the other morning. She asked to go for a ride in the stroller in her jammies with her favorite pink fuzzy blanket. Here's a cute pic of Riah poking her head out to say hi!


Rob and his babes (note that rob is patting moriah's tush and she is patting max's)


This seems to be the klein lang kiddo newborn face. We have so many pics of baby moriah doing the same thing!
