Play Time with Daddy

No one can get Will laughing like Paul. (well, and Dante) From the moment Paul comes home Will is just so excited to see him. Paul plays so well with him, he's such a great daddy.

We're not in Kansas anymore...

I have to admit, I have moments when I really miss the bucket. You know, that window of time where you can put your baby in the car seat bucket and just do whatever you were used to doing. But then they grow out of the bucket and you love that too, but alas, this Starbucks visit was indeed one of those days I longed for the bucket.

I made the mistake of taking Will out of his stroller. The pictures say the rest. Thanks to erin and Erynn for being such good sports.

16 Months!

At 16 months Will is becoming more and more "boy".

He loves music and books so much, he loves doing the actions to Patty Cake and Itsy Bitsy spider, he loves all foods, and I mean ALL. He can stand on his own now in the middle of the room (but still not walking) he cleans up his toys, and has lots of new words. At breakfast the other day, he actually used his crayons to color instead of having them as a snack. This is progress.

Hello Crazy???

Most of the time, I wish I didn't have a dog (sorry Dante) but there are those days when we all get a good laugh out of him. I don't know what got into Dante and Will but they were having a good time.

Oh, and i'll have a little coffee with that please.......

Normally, when you go for coffee, it's not unusual to have a "little treat" with your coffee. Unless of course you are are Erynn, erin and me where we like to do things the opposite way.

We met for coffee last week, just the three of us, and we ordered...two rice crispy squares, a pumkin loaf, a ginger cookie and a vanilla cupcake. Did I mention that it was just the three of us. And of course a nice little non-fat sugar free coffee to go with it. Man we had to laugh.....

As always, the kids and us had a great visit.


erin's cupcake even came in it's own fancy container...

Lover's Day

Paul Day told me that in Panama, they call Valentine's Day "Lover's Day", which I think does sound way more romantic.

Normally Paul and I would go out for dinner but instead we decided that we would stay in and celebrate with Will, our little Valentine. For Supper, Paul made me the very first dish he ever cooked for me....seafood linguini. It was so fantastic! Along with ceaser salad, crusty olive bread and a great bottle of one of favorite white wines. Even Will loved it--the pasta, not the wine.

After Will went to bed we finished the evening with a chocolate fondue and a bottle of bubbly (I love chocolate and bubbly together). We had some fruit and my new favorite thing to dip in chocolate fondue......creme puffs! HELLO!!! MERCY!!!

We danced and spent the evening talking about our dream house and plans....I love my husband, I can't believe I get to spend every day with this person. It was a wonderful evening.



My crafty home made Valentine

My Valentine

It just wouldn't be Valentine's Day if I didn't torture poor Will by dressing him up and showing him off. He's so gonna hate me for it later.

I got Will dressed and spiked his hair and then went and delivered some Valentine's. First we went and saw daddy at work and brought him flowers, and then we are going to see Auntie Erynn to bring her her Valentine. Of course he was a big hit, especially since he says "hi" to everyone who passes him.

Happy Valentine's Day everyone!!!
