Oorah!

This Sunday we spent a very busy day visiting. We spent the morning having brunch with Uncle Thomas. Sunday was the day he left for bootcamp and will be the last day we see him for 13 weeks. Now we are counting down the days until Sept. 21 when we fly to San Diego to see him graduate.

In the afternoon we celebrated Baby Cal Capote at Aly's shower. Avery had so much fun playing with Capri and I loved being able to catch up with Aly since she lives in Southern California now. We even had some delicious cake and played some super fun games! Now if only Aly, Joe, Capri and Cal would move back to Napa I would have a good mommy friend to playdate with!

Day 2

Yesterday was Day 1 of my new Stay At Hone Mom (SAHM) gig.

It.Was.A.Disaster.

J works from home some days more than others and yesterday was one of the 'more' days. Avery and I got up early and went to the Stroller Strides workout -- which was awesone! Then J came home from work around 10:30 and we decided to go to Babies R Us to get something right then since A was already well into her morning nap.

And it was all downhill from there. She was fussy, tired but wouldn't nap,  pooped every 5 minutes, and decided spitup makes good finger paint.

Today, on the other hand, was excellent. We slept in (until almost 7am!) then had some pancakes, folded some laundry, showered and dressed. Then we met the Nance girls at the duck pond, walked to Kennedy park, rode the 'wee' (which is 'slide' in 2yr old speak), had lunch at the Kennedy Golf Course restaurant. The girls were a hit with the old men just finishing their morning game.

After our playdate we stopped by Bumrite Diapers and picked up A's new swim diaper -- the Swimmi by Bummis. We chatted with the girls there for a bit before meeting J on his way out of town for an appointment.
All in all I'd say we had a pretty good day. In comparison to yesterday almost anything out have been better.
