We're really trying to do some special fun things now that we're settled in to our new home. We fully realize this is probably the only time we'll live in CA (just based on LCMS church locations), so we're trying to make it a year to remember. Next Sunday and Monday we're heading West even farther to see the Pacific Ocean and the Santa Cruz Boardwalk. Here are some photos of our fun from the last week or two:
Norah enjoys getting to eat like a big girl now. Our picnic at Shaver Lake was the first time we let her bite chunks off the banana. She's also really good at picking up and eating a sandwich. Sidenote about our "big girl" - Norah is completely done nursing now, and we've decided it's time to give up the pacifier cold turkey. Nap #1 started out kind of rocky, but she's been asleep almost 2 hours now! I'll let you know how it ends up. Oh, the news bulletins in a Mommy's life!
The beautiful view of Shaver Lake... about 1 hour away from Fresno, up up up 5,000 feet. It was nice to see a lot of trees and greener grass since it actually rains up there. Tim and I both really enjoyed the fresh woodsy smell too. Tim said it was a real California smell and thinks it was Redwoods.
Norah didn't really enjoy putting her toes in the water, even though it was a nice temperature.
We had a pajama party in the living room a week or so again. Norah had had an early bath (probably dinner in her hair again!) so Mom and Dad got on jammies early too.

Thanks for the photos! Brings back so many memories! When Grandma and Grandpa used to take me on "cheap night" it was 25 cents a ride and hotdog!
ReplyDeleteoops! I thought I had this figured out, but posted the comment under the wrong entry! This should be under the Santa Cruz entry! Just call me your computer challenged sister...
