Michigan Pictures

Here is the link to more pictures from our trip to Michigan. We had a lot fun playing at the beach and swimming. Hunter also loved all the toys at Grandma's house. Our first day there was like Christmas morning for Hunter. Flying was as good as it can be with a 2 1/2 year old and a 5 month old. They both did very well on the planes. When we got to Michigan, and when we got back to LA, Hunter cried when we were getting off the planes, "I want to go on another plane!" Adjusting back to West Coast time has been a little more challenging. Both kids are still waking up in the five o'clock hour. We are making progress, but it's exhausting! All in all, we had a great, fun, and relaxing time with family and friends, and the weather stayed decent for our whole trip. What more can you ask for?

4th of July

Here is a link to a few of my mom's pictures from the 4th of July, at her house on Lake Macatawa in Holland, Michigan.

Facebook

I did it, I joined Facebook.  Because I made a point in my first post on this blog to say I wasn't going to join Facebook, I feel like I should explain.  The first reason is because my dear friend Courtney moved to New York and I discovered that when I can't reach her by phone, she is on Facebook.  Secondly, I am in Holland, Michigan visiting my family and staying with my mom. My mom doesn't have cable TV, and my kids are asleep by 7:00pm, so I have some extra time to actually do Facebook.  I have heard the Facebook is a big time drain, and I am worried I will spend all my free time on it (which is one of the reasons I resisted joining at the beginning).  As you can imagine, as a mom of two young kids, I don't have a lot of time to spare, but at this point, it's done, and I plan to exercise constraint. Unfortunately, I love it, so we will see how disciplined I can be!

The Terrible Twos

Today was a day of terrible twos for Hunter. Everything was a meltdown. He'd ask for milk, you would give him milk, and he'd cry for water. This was how it was today for everything, all day. It makes for a very long day. We thought and nap would cure things this afternoon, but we were not so lucky. It also happened to be the long anticipated Recycle Center Open House. Of course it was a disaster with Hunter. We left with him in tears, screaming all the way to the car, and all the way home. Somehow, we captured a few good pictures and Xavier slept through it all (thankfully).

A Few New Pictures

Xavier hanging out... it took 10 pictures before I got one with smile!

Hunter on the Bumbo (which is for Xavier). Hunter thinks it's a potty.
