Miscellany Monday

It's Monday again!  They seem to come faster during the summer.  We can't get enough of Daddy time and we love the weekends!!  Lots of time is spent playing at the local playground.  I am a little spoiled since it is only 2 blocks away.  I think I'll be very picky when it comes to choosing a house next time we move!

The Little Guy got a bike earlier this year as an early birthday present and a "give up your paci" present.  He loves it and wants to ride it all the time.  It's so cute to watch him!  He is looking both ways here before we cross the street to the play ground.

Construction is big at our house right now.  Especially bulldozing.  Bulldozing my flowers.  After planting and replanting the same flowers over and over I finally told Peter we had to build a sandbox.  This little man was so excited!!  Lots of time has already been spent in that box.  Now to teach them that the sand stays in the box!

We had a LONG overdue date night last weekend.  We do our best talking in the car so we drove to Seattle and dined at a yummy Italian place.  I picked it from a list of chef's who I'd seen compete on Food Network shows.  The food was excellent and the company was perfect.  We are definitely making time to do this more often!

The Reedster has been slow on the vocabulary development.  He clearly understands directions and follows them but he isn't talking much.  He says Mama a lot and the occasional Dada.  His newest word is Meow.  Every animal says meow.  And this local cat says meow.  This cat follows us around on walks and occasionally hangs out on the front stoop.  That's as close as he is getting!

The Reedster has also been FULL of cuddles lately.  He wants to hug and kiss and be in my lap all the time.  If I am sitting down he comes and sits with me.  He only stays for about 3 seconds and then makes a few laps around the room and comes to sit again.  I'm loving it.  He has been SO busy and active from the start that it is nice to get some cuddling!

He has also been making our dinner at night so that sure is nice ;)

Perfect summer night.  A walk....the playground...the mountain.  What a view!

This guys turned 3 earlier this month.  We had a little party for him this weekend and he insisted on sleeping with his new train, Belle.
