The Past Couple of Weeks or So...

Saturday was such nice weather. It was almost strange because it was so gusty and cloudy but it was a warm wind. Definitely warm enough to spend a little time outside. Bryan was working all morning Saturday and since we are without a backyard I sent Julia to play on the deck. She collects berries from the tree back there and pretends to plant flowers in her garden. Audrey is crawling and climbing up on everything but I didn't want her crawling all over the deck eating Julia's flower berries. The highlight of the morning was watching the girls blow smeary kisses to each other through the glass while giggling. I could listen to those giggles forever. It was one of those moments you wish you could freeze in time.Here is our now mobile baby. She is crawling and climbing. She is still pretty slow but I feel that coming to an end very soon.

Here is the gardener planting the berries.
Last week we had the chance to go to Disney on Ice. It was such a fun show and just Julia and I went with some friends so it was some special time for her and I. Julia's only disappointment was the absence of Princess Aurora (Sleeping Beauty) but she was still entertained as the Incredibles made their way through Disney Land.
Yes she had to make a "silly face."
Julia and her little date Jansen. Such good friends. Jessica and I were both worried they might be a little scared during the Haunted Mansion portion of the show, but they both put on a brave face. That, or that had no idea what was going on. The ghosts were wearing dresses and that was all Julia was worried about. The ghost looked like princesses. I think Jansen was showing Julia what a brave stud he is.
We also had a little belated Valentine's Party after we got back from our trip. We had to say goodbye to Alici as she moved away this past week. It is always so hard to say goodbye to friends and I seem to be doing a lot of that lately. We just feel so blessed to have so many wonderful ones to say goodbye to.
