naptime for everyone

dear bed,

i want very much to crawl into you right now.

kate and i just returned from a two hour walk around bb's neighborhood.

the weather was perfect and i am happily exhausted.

i would love to snuggle into your white comforter and enjoy the breeze blowing through my window.

a 20 minute nap sounds awesome right now.

but i know me.

and if i don't blog now about the good times we're having with mom and dad,

i probably never will.

and the going-ons won't be committed to my memory.

then when bb says 'remember when....?' i'll have to say [yet again] 'nope, don't remember'

so here's what happened thursday:

breakfast @ gourmandise. 

fantastic- i want to eat there every morning

kate eating her raspberries- is there a toddler who doesn't enjoy sticking food on their fingertips?

 i highly recommend the cinnamon apple french toast. and check out all those berries!

lunch on soda row in daybreak [can't remember the name of the place]

lizamagoos rocking it out in her sunglasses, eyeing bb's root beer.

nana getting in some harry-loving while kate gags....er... feeds harry.

 snuggling with nana after a long day of fun

we call the spot kate's in 'the bird's nest'- it was the coveted spot when we were younger.

ok, now i can go crash until kate wakes up from her nap

[yes, she still naps! it took me a week or so of retraining her for nap time but it was worth it. she sleeps like a champ for about 90 minutes every day. hallelujah!!]

welcome back mom and dad,

let the fun times commence

dad+mom:

thanks for calling yesterday.
it was nice to hear your voices [if only for a few minutes]
i feel like the parent and you guys are my kids-
off galavanting around the world.

i can't wait to see all your pictures.
the dead sea... nazareth... the sea of galilee... capernaum.
and that's only the first few days!


glad you're enjoying yourselves.
all's well here in utah.
the sun shone for a few hours yesterday and that made me incredibly happy.

i saw harrison again.
he's still super tiny- he looks just like liz did at that age.
he was all snuggled in his blanket and his eyes were open the whole time.
bb says he doesn't do much sleeping and apparently he loves to eat.
he's a content baby thus far [hopefully he stays that way!]

b thinks she looks bad. silly girl looks a-ma-zing!

thanks m+d for good genetics.

keep the updates coming.

we love to know about your adventures.

but let's not text anymore at 0230, okay?

you woke jank up [not that he cared, but still]

love you both,

beaner.
