July...

Wow, it's July all ready!  I just realized I haven't posted a new blog in 2 months.  I feel like a lot could have happened and maybe it did but I don't remember everything so here are the highlights...

Our New Car

I still love our new car.  I was thinking this morning about what a blessing it is to get in and the motor starts and all the bells and whistles work.  I love how it drives.  It was great for going to Ikea to pick up our new bookshelf and for a trip to the cabin.

Condo

We've been continuing to prepare for the new baby.  The kid's room now has a fresh coat of paint and a new shelf to keep stuff out of reach.  Our living room has a new bookshelf so all our movies, books, cds, and other clutter items are safely out of reach.

Memorial Day Weekend

We spent the weekend at our cabin with my parents and our friends, Megan and Eric.  Samuel also had someone to play with, David.  It was sunny and beautiful at the cabin and we walked to town for Samuel's 1st haircut.

Samuel was starting to get kinda fro-ey.  So off we went to the Hairstream, a salon in an Airstream trailer.  He looks so much better now, like a big boy.  Then it was coffee time at the Wake N Bakery, followed by playing at Glacier city park aka the playground on the back lot of the ski shop.  The boys had a blast being boys.

Glacier

I love this little town.  It is the last town before the Mount Baker Ski Area.  There is a general store/restaurant, an Italian restaurant, the Ski Shop, the Snowboard Shop, The Hairstream, The Wake N Bakery, and some other random shops.

When we stay at the cabin we walk thru the woods to town for coffee at the Wake N Bakery.  It's such a peaceful way to start the day.  Last year we were able to stay for a whole week this year we couldn't seem to fit it into our schedule

June

June just went by way to fast.  I know we've been taking Samuel to the park.  He needs to run free and burn energy quite often.  I washed a lot of cute baby girl clothes in preparing for Charlotte.  I've also napped a lot since Charlotte doesn't like me to sleep at night and only lets me sleep in the afternoons.

Club has been winding down and is now over for the school year.  Tyrone took an entire week off and got tons of stuff done around our house.  Now it's field trip time!

July

July will probably go by fast too.  Only 70 days until Charlotte gets here.  I still have some stuff to get.  Fortunately, it's mostly stuff that can wait until she's here.  Somedays I'm so excited that I just can't wait!

Baking with Samuel

Tonight, Tyrone took Charlotte to run errands, so that left me and Samuel to spend time together.  First we had to clean the kitchen and pick up toys, then it was time to make cookies. Samuel is Ready! Samuel loves cookies and watching me work in the kitchen, so tonight I combined the two to make Snickerdoodles.  I haven't had very good luck making GF Snickerdoodles, they always seemed to run.  One time I improvised and made them in muffin tins, they kinda looked like reverse volcanos.  Thanks to the yummy ones my friend Megan made, I thought I'd give them one more try. I used this recipe from Betty Crocker,  Snickerdoodles , I just modified it with Brown Rice Flour and Xanthan Gum.  I think the Xanthan Gum was key,  I'd been out for a while and finally had some, what a difference.

Family Movie Night

Last night we had our 1st Family Movie Night.  Samuel can almost sit still for about 30 minutes at a time, so I figured he was ready.  We borrowed Cars from my dad and finally got to watch a Blu-Ray movie in our new Blu-Ray player.  Cars seemed like Samuel's speed, he loves Thomas and Friends and cars with faces can't be that much different than trains with faces. Family Movie Night was like embarking on a new adventure, could 3 people with very different tastes and attention spans enjoy the same movie?  Turns out we can for about 30 minutes. At 8:30pm dressed in our PJs we all climbed in to bed and started Cars.  Samuel was so cute sitting between Mommy and Daddy.  He was watched very intently as the cars raced around the track in the opening credits, he identified the helicopter as an airplane and watched for other things he could name.  He tapped his hands to the music and wanted water just like mommy and daddy had.  This family bliss laste...

3 Weeks Yesterday...

As of today I have been the mom to two kids for 3 weeks and 1 day. Wow!  There was a point in time where I thought I'd never have kids.  After we got married we still thought we wouldn't have kids.  After a year and a half of blissful married life, we had a miscarriage.  This got us thinking, maybe one kid would be kinda fun.  Samuel was born two months after our 3rd anniversary. Samuel was so much fun.  A cute little person to hold and love, to explore the world through his eyes.  He fit right into our life.  He was almost too relaxed.  Samuel wasn't big on eating so he slept alot and didn't gain much weight at first.  Once we got the weight gain on the right track he was still an awesome sleeper.  He started sleeping through the night at 2 months.  He almost never cried and was happiest playing on the floor. After Samuel turned one, we thought we had this parenting thing figured out, so why not try for another...
