Brad & Billie's visit


We had a super fun weekend with Brad & Billie who came up from Los Angeles. We were so sad (especially Olivia, who bawled) to see them leave on Sunday evening. To see pictures from the weekend, click here.

Beach

We had a beach day with Jonna & Andrew and Matt & Sara. Olivia enjoyed chasing birds and burying peoples feet in the sand. Finn liked running down by the water and ate a lot of wet sticky sand.






Finn standing





Finn loves to stand at the toy bin in the living room and throw all of the toys out.

Muir woods


We met up with Jonna & Andrew and Matt & Sara (who were in town visiting) at the Muir woods. Olivia loved leading the way and managed to eat a whole container of Finn's snacks while walking. Finn just loved being outside (his favorite place to be, besides his chair at the dining room table). We can't wait to go back and take Dean with us! To see more pictures, click here.

Climbing skills





These were the first steps that Finn conquered.

A fantastic Sunday

Putting some new plants in the front yard.
Finn helped water.
Olivia collected snails. This ones name was Susie.
Looking cute.
Enjoying Sunday night taco night with a silly old bib on to make us laugh.
Finn showing us his handless sippy cup skills.

Finn is crawling!




A few weeks ago Finn started to crawl! He had been getting around pretty well by pivoting on his stomach, but he decided that it was about time to reveal his skills. By the end of the week he was pulling himself up to standing. In these pictures, Olivia decided it would be nice to relax outside on a blanket rather than have quiet time inside. Finn joined us after his nap.

DISNEY ON ICE!


Dean & Olivia went to Disney on Ice together. It was her first time in a big arena to an event like this. She was scared within the first 5 minutes of the show (Mickey's car exploded) and wanted to go home, but they stuck it out and she is still telling people that she went to see Disney on Ice.

Fresh eggs



Our neighbor brought over some fresh eggs and even labeled them so we would know which chicken they were from. Dean put them in a nest that I had found earlier in the day.

Finn's favorite activity


Eating! Finn hasn't passed up any food yet and often eats Olivia's leftovers. Maizey parks herself right under his seat and reaps the benefits of his sloppiness. To see some eating pics (we take a lot of them) click here.
