Been awhile and CRAWLING

Well, as usual, I have failed to keep the blog alive and let it go by the wayside for a few weeks. We don't have any new pictures currently, but we have done some fun things.
Lola just started waving and she is finally CRAWLING at 13 months!!! Shocking, I know. We will plan on taking a video this weekend to capture it. We couldn't be more thrilled to see our little girl doing something that we started thinking might never happen. Well, we really didn't think that, but we sure did have to wait a long time! The wait is finally over...
This past weekend, I got to go on a mommy overnight trip to Portland with my girlfriends. We had so much fun! We had an amazing dinner at Blue Hour, the food and wine were delicious. And the waiter was hilarious! I can honestly say, I am ready for the next girls night trip and will look forward to it! I forget how nice it is to get away, and then appreciate your family so much more when you see them again. I highly recommend time away.

Family Vacation in Folsom

Chuck, Lola and I spent last week in Folsom, CA with Lola's grandparents. We relaxed for the first part of the week and then Chuck and I went on our first overnight trip to the wine country without Lola. What a treat, but we missed our little girl. 24 hours sure goes by fast! But she had a good time with Nana and Bumpa.


















Finally, 52 weeks

Lola's 1st Birthday

It was a big day for our daughter Lola. She celebrated her first birthday with some help from her family. Grandma Harvey came in a week early and got to spend some time with her and helped me out tremendously. I swear grandparents seem to love their grandchildren even more than the parents love their own child. Ok, that is not true, but it is so amazing to see how much love a grandparent can have for a baby they didn't give birth too. Truly touching!
The day was lots of fun and Lola was a trooper with everyone staring at her while she opened her presents. When the cake came out, and she didn't really know what to think. There wasn't any significant smearing of the cake on her face, but she managed to get messy enough. We were very thankful that our families could be there to watch Lola celebrate such a milestone. Thanks everyone!!! We love you!

Weeks 47 to 50

Almost to 52 weeks...




Camping in Winthrop

Our family left town to go east of the mountains last weekend with friends and what a fun time! We stayed in camping cabins in Winthrop at the KOA. What a great way to camp and actually get some sleep at night. The weather was great and the company even better. Here are some pictures of our adventure.
