Park...What's in name?

-

I've heard it asked before, but I must ask it again; why do we call a park a park? The only people I see "parked" are the people with older kids who can play on their own or are just there to take in the fresh air...not the toddlers or their parents! Today Max and I went to a very nice park on the lake with our friends Mrs. Corrie and Casen. Casen is about 3 months older than Max and showed Max how to run all over that place. Max was very amazed, but played it safe by either crawling or staying clamped onto my finger. After a picnic lunch, the boys played on a toddler sized playground for about an hour. Max discovered how to slide all by himself and also that mulch can be a very nice playtime snack. The weather has been amazing park weather and gives us all so much more energy than the frigged winter wind. The sun was not out today, but we could still feel its warmth. At this moment Max is conked out in his crib. I expect this nap to be much longer than normal...he played hard today! I can't wait to go back to this park in the spring and summer. It will be such a fun place to meet Jeff after work for a family date.

Our precious Piper will be two weeks old tomorrow! So much has changed and yet she has slipped right into our family so perfectly. I will have to write more to tell you what has been going on in our home, but for now enjoy these photos I took of her this morning. I love the simplicity of her holding the pink carnation. So beautifully organic.

We Still Love Eachother

When we were first Married, Jeff's Dad would always ask us if we still love eachother...well we do. This weekend we are celebrating our 6 year anniversery of our first date! I had to show off what Jeff got me because it is so neat. He said it is to help me feed Cooper...but I know he wanted it for himself too. He is very sneaky...hehe. Anyway, I will be enjoying my new Eagle's Nest lounger for a very long time. (If you come to visit us I might let you try it out.)

Becoming a Mom

The past few days have been more than a challenge, they have been almost a turning point in my life. This has been my first experience taking care of two boys when one is very sick. Max woke up Wednesday morning with a low grade fever and as the day progressed he got worse. By about 4:30pm he was at 104 degrees. That was a long night of rocking my sweet boy. Cooper thankfully slept really well that night. Yesterday I thought the worse was over. Max was playing almost back at full strength with his cars down his "car ramp" otherwise known as a slide, but by about 3pm his fever shot up again. Thankfully this time we were at his doctor's office for his 18 month checkup...perfect timing! So we went home with the knowledge that he did indeed have a virus and to try to keep Cooper from getting it. When the boys and I got back home both of them needed me. Cooper was hungry and sleepy and Max just needed his mommy. So as I sat on the couch holding my extremely hot s...
