Pumpkin Fun

We went to the pumpkin patch last night to get a pumpkin for Halloween. Cady had so much fun running around and picking out pumpkins.

Catching up again...

Yesterday, Cady went in for surgery. She had her adenoids out and tubes put in her ears. We hope this will help alleviate the constant ear infections.

In other news, I finally broke down and got an iPad, so now there is no excuse for me not to keep up with the blog! I just need to figure out how to post pictures.

Catching Everyone Up...

Since the last time we posted: we've closed on our condo, had a visit from GG and Grandpop, moved all of our stuff up to the new place, signed a contract with a property manager to manage the house in Southern California, found a tenant for that house, and been back to the doctor for ear infections twice.

We're on another round of antibiotics and have an appointment to meet with an ENT next week. We're hoping he can recommend something to stop these ear infections. Most likely, it will mean tubes. We'll keep you posted.

Here's Cady in the midst of unpacking. Luckily, she thought all the boxes and paper were a lot of fun. That worked out well because there were A LOT of boxes, and A LOT of paper. We're taking it all to the recycler. We're there so often bringing loads of cardboard and paper, the recycling guy recognized Dan at In-N-Out when we were there for a burger.

Here's Cady putting money into her piggy bank, which she LOVES to do. She likes the sound the coins make when they drop into her pig.

This is Cady's new room. It turned out almost like we had planned. I was hoping for a white canvas slipcover, but for the sake of just getting it done, I got this one at Target. It's functional, but not ideal. Maybe when we get around to painting the dresser, we'll get around to the slip cover as well. It beats that ugly fabric on the couch though! If you come to visit us, this is where you'll stay. It pulls out to the most comfortable sofa bed we've ever felt!

Fun at the Park

We took Cady to the park today, the weather was beautiful, and she had such a good time (so did we)! She loved the swing, and going down the slide with her dad. We'll be going back often, especially since it looks like we'll be getting our condo.

15 Months & a Visit from Uncle Ron & Cousin Jake

Cady celebrated her 15-month b-day with her Uncle Ron and cousin Jake. We spent Saturday at the Monterey Bay Aquarium, doing the 17-Mile Drive, and walking around Carmel.

Here we are by the lone cypress.

Here's Cady, enjoying the view of the Pacific along the 17-Mile Drive with her little dog.

Having fun at the aquarium, at entrance to the very cool, new "Open Sea" exhibit.

We had such a great time, and hope we get to see you all again soon!

Happy 4th of July

We spent this morning and afternoon in downtown Morgan Hill for the annual 4th of July Parade. The town has been doing the parade since 1896, and it's always so much fun. It's the kind of thing you see in movies, the textbook, small-town, 4th of July parade. Cady really enjoyed watching the people, horses and floats go by. You can see her watching and waving here.
Midway though the parade, she got a little tired. She actually sat through the whole parade. As "on-the-go" as she is right now, we were both shocked at that.

Here's the start of the parade with El Toro as the back drop. Lots of fun!

Independence Day BBQ Fun

We spent July 3rd at a BBQ in the country. Cady had a great time playing in the water and she really enjoyed the tri-tip. She's getting good use out of her new 1-year molars. Here she is running around the yard. She was on the go ALL day!
Here she is with Kenzie. This is the $1.00 chair we found at a yard sale earlier in the day. It was perfect. We'll take it to the parade tomorrow. And in case anyone is wondering, yes, we reapplied sunscreen 3 times.

These two had a blast at the end of the day, playing in the playpen. They would stand up, fall down, and laugh, over and over again.
