various and sundry things

nighty night big girl!

boys in the bay

Amelia is now sleeping in a 'big girl' bed. Should be interesting when we have company stay overnight since that is our only extra bed... but I'm sure we'll figure something out. So far, its been working great at night, but alas, during the last couple of nap times she has figured out she can climb down and play instead of nap. Ugh. Hopefully this won't be a daily routine for us!

We had the opportunity to be in San Diego again this weekend and we had a great time. The girls all went to a little shower for Megan and Mia on Saturday morning. Julie and Kathy did a wonderful job with the food and putting the whole thing together. I don't have any pictures because my hubs took the camera with him to the bay for an afternoon fishing trip with the fella's. No fish, but a little sunburn and a desire to go again soon when the fish are biting! I know most of you would rather see pictures of cute babies and kids, so hopefully someone else will post some pictures of the shower (don't be offended boys, you're cute too!). On Sunday morning, Uncle Bow woke up feeling miserable, so he stayed home while the rest of us headed to meeting. Aunt Tsiasa (or something like that...) went home afterward to take care of him so they unfortunately missed out on the nice meal at Ms. Red Freckle's parents house.

Amelia has been enjoying coloring lately. So today I decided to take some inspiration from my friend Brooke who always does such wonderful crafty things with her kids. Except for the fact that I didn't take note of how she always goes to the store before hand and is prepared to do whatever project it is she's doing. So with no glue sticks or glue and then running out of scotch tape, we still came out with the cheerful scene pictured above.

And for those who are interested, C & S's pet snake was quite well behaved this weekend and stayed in his cage! : )

Hi Natalie, Love your pictures! Amelia is sure growing up. She is precious! We have enjoyed keeping up to date with your blog. I finally started one today, so far have spent two hours on it. I can't figure out how to make the main picture smaller, it's huge! You have to scroll to see the whole thing. Hope you are well. We are so happy about baby boy! Congratulations!

First off, I can't believe you stayed in a house with a snake :) You are far and beyond braver than I! And second of all--your spring scene pictures are darling! And I often forget to go to the store first too, don't worry. I love the face Amelia is making while working on her project. I wish we could plan a playdate and craft together with the kids : ( Thanks for the "shout out" : )
