Playground!

Playing at the park while Tom went for a run.

And trying on sunglasses.

Babyproofing

Daniel took a spill and fell head first into the wall/outlet, leaving a decent bump on his noggin.  His response, "yeah, well, you should see the other guy.."

Apparently a hard head can break an outlet cover...who knew?

Weekend Update

We tried to go to the pool yesterday, but the baby and kids' pools were both closed!  We didn't feel comfortable taking him in the deeper lap pool, so we went home to wash the car instead.  Daniel appears to have enjoyed it.

We spent some time at the beach today.  The water was stunningly perfect and we had so much fun that we didn't take any pictures really.  Daniel was much more comfortable in the water today than he was the other week.  He also started lying down on the beach as if he was trying to sun himself, it was super cute. 

We also had some time to hit a hotel pool (and waterslide for the adults!) before heading to Barnes and Noble.

Finally, this evening Daniel found the laundry basket and immediately asked for a ride.  My rides are often just here to there, but Tom really takes things to the next level.

A great weekend!

Ukulele

These pictures were taken through a computer screen as we were video chatting while Tom was away.  Despite the pixel-y nature of the photos, they're some of my very favorites of the two of us recently.

Daniel is learning to strum while I change chords.  And Baby just sits there to enjoy the music..

I've said it once, but I'll say it again...can we just freeze time?!

Look Who's Home!

After a week+ of Tom/Dada being gone for the solar eclipse and a conference, we're super happy to have him home!  He came in late last night and Danny was so excited that he woke up at 2 and stayed awake for almost an hour.

This evening we enjoyed a Schad happy hour outside on our driveway.  Classy.

All of our moods have greatly improved!

AND I had an awesome week teaching and ended on a really high note with my last two classes.  Yeehaw!

Hats

Danny had a kind, but strong opinion about how he should wear his hat(s) this morning.

So this is how it all starts doesn't it?  Pretty soon he'll be wearing ridiculous, self chosen toddler outfits.

Sprinklers

We went outside to play right as the sprinklers were turning on yesterday evening.  Perfect timing, a toddler might say.

After just a couple of minutes, he was soaked but oh so happy.
