A day in our life, summer '09...

Most weekdays Chris and I are awakened by 7:30 with "Mama c'mere" or "Daddy c'mere". Aria and I play for a little while, watch Dora or Diego while she drinks her milk, make breakfast around 9 (eggs & cheese, cheese on toast, waffles are favorites) and then head out to the Y pool or a play group, a walk around the neighborhood or errands. Lunch is at 11:30 and nap is at 12:15. Aria is usually up by 2 or 2:30 and we have a snack (blueberries, pretzel fish, craisins are favs) visit with the girls across the street or David and Susan or Will and Allyson. By 4:30 Chris is usually off work and we do something as a family...walk, play, go to the pool. Dinner is usually around 5:30 and Aria is in bed after a bath and some books by 7. I just started training for a 10K and run around 7 or 8pm, Chris goes to the Y to lift or goes for a run a few days/week.

First haircut...

I need to upload the photos of her first haircut. She sat quietly in the salon chair and had about 2" taken off. New things: she now has "favorites" ("chalkies --aka chocolate-- is my favorite") Yesterday I showed her the storm clouds coming and she said "Big storm or little storm?" She likes to sleep with her t-shirt of Ariel the mermaid which has red lights which light up and blink when she moves. She still loves swimming at the Y pool--we change it up between Great Bridge and Greenbriar, our neighbors, Diego and Dora, "watching a show", her three loveys (truck, night night and downstairs). We are working on turning " 'poon" into "ssssssspoon" and generally just enjoying life in Chesapeake. What a great summer. Hard to believe she will be in preschool two mornings a week next month!

Couple of videos from our Myrtle vacation...

Broadway on the Beach at Myrtle...

Summer!

We had a fantastic time on our 5 day vacation to Myrtle Beach South Carolina. We stayed at Chris' Dad's place there and it was wonderful...we had great weather and spent a ton of time on the beach, in the ocean, playing at the water park and pools and going to ride some rides at Broadway on the Beach.
