Blocks




On our morning walk we passed a garage sale and Erin forced me to buy these building blocks and a bouncing horse. I had some similar as a kid and loved to build with them so now it is her turn.

Learning to Jump

Here Erin is learning to jump on her own. When she holds hands with someone her feet actually leave the air, but I think this is so much cuter.

Where is Erin?
















So no pictures of Erin since this was our first night away from Erin where neither of us was home for the bedtime routine. Thankfully Grandma and Grandpa made excellent substitutes. This was practice for the next time we go away for an entire week without Erin.

Here we are at Andrew Sperry's rehersal dinner and practice. Notice the matching suits!

Going down the slide


At the park we had fun going down the slide.

Sheehey Cousins visit











Uncle Rory and Aunt Maya came to visit along with their sons Dusty (8mths) and Aedan (4years). We went to the park and had ice-cream at a local creamery.

Saying goodbye to Uncle Cliff and Aunt Nora

Erin has recently learned how to give kisses. From these pictures it is hard to tell who needs more practice...









Showing Uncle Cliff the grass



First we put on shoes. Next we directed him to the front door.















Then we showed him the lawn and the flowers.

Who's to blame?

So here is the story....Grandma and Grandpa bought Erin a wagon for her legos....Uncle Cliff taught her how to climb into the wagon.....Brendan pulled her along.....and Bridget tried to take a picture of her in the wagon.


And then closer inspection of the wagon clearly states DO NOT LET CHILDREN SIT IN WAGON!
And now her first bloody nose!

Taking off shoes




We started construction on the masterbathroom and Erin wanted to play on the drop cloths. Here she is rolling around trying to take off her shoes.

Good Morning







Erin often wakes up with a smile on her face and is eager to play hide and seek through the crib bars. She is wearing her Costco winter pajamas since it is still very cold here in California

New Chair







We bought Erin a new plastic chair from Big Lots. She loves this chair and carries it around like a doll. We have to hide it when it is time to leave or she insists on bringing it with. In addition to carrying it she will sit in it and drink her milk or play with her toys.

Farewell Bristol Farms




The nextdoor neighbor had a farewell party for Bristol Farms at the beach. Here Erin and the neighbor Brian (her birthday twin) watch the volleyball palyers and play in the sand.
