and we're back...

We have internet, people! And apparently when I was out, they changed the blogger format... We have internet. We have a house that is 76% put together. We have a new life in Santa Barbara and are are making it happen! More details to come as I find time to breathe...

Sick little bunny...

Happy Easter! Ruby came down with a little cold on Friday night so this weekend has been a LONG weekend with this sick little bunny...


... but we made the most of it (and she's so cute! It makes sickness easier...)! We got in our Sunday best and went to the park, to another park, played with our babies, got frozen yogurt, but mainly just lounged and rested - that baby is sick and this mama was tired!







And where was Josh you ask? Well. We have some news to share with you all. Josh left last Tuesday with a trailer-load of our stuff for our NEW home in Santa Barbara! An exciting job opportunity arose back in Santa Barbara and we're taking it. Josh started the move last week and Ruby and I will follow on Saturday. We're excited for the move and Ruby and I are ready to see Josh!

Hope you all had a great Easter!

TWENTY THREE months!

"Mine!" "No!" "I help!" "Peeeeesss!" These are things I hear a gazillion times a day. Ruby is definitely entering toddlerdom and it's both thrilling and terrifying. She's the sweetest, most cuddly little thing one minute and the next she's crumpled onto the floor in a fit of rage because we asked her if she wanted to take a bath. And I thought pregnancy mood swings were bad! She's starting to put thoughts and ideas together and I find myself constantly surprised as her vocabulary DAILY grows. She's starting to be able to verbalize what she wants and can clearly tell you what she doesn't want (for example, today on the way home she says "No home. Park!" and then "PEEEAAAASSS!"). She is IN LOVE with Daphne down the street and Miss Kristin and Mel Mel at daycare - she's a girl's girl and loves to play dress up and run in circles and giggle. Ugh. She's so precious it makes my heart swoon!
