1st Day at Day Care

Yesterday was Monkey's first day at the Y day care we enrolled her just down the street from us. When we first got there, they were serving breakfast which was Cheerios and applesauce so she sat down and happily ate while I gave her a quick hug and snuck out. When Daddy and I came to pick her up in the afternoon, we discovered a prety upset little girl and we were told she had been upset all day except for when she was outside in the play yard.

The second day has been the hardest. She started to cry as soon as we got there, and although I stayed with her for an hour and a half, she never really stopped crying for long. I engaged her and another little boy in a game of peek-a- boo and then I had to go. I was crying too when I left. Who knew that gaining some free time at home would be so hard for me?

Hopefully tomorrow will go a bit better!

Getting Monkey all dolled up for Portland French's company picnic!

Playdate PDX

Here's some pics from our most recent trip to the best playland in Portland.

Toodee Love

Look at the cuteness I found when I checked on Monkey before going to bed.

Link Love

Daenerys and Link have become the best of friends, which is good because he has no problem taking over Monkey's chair, spilled food, and toys. They both have a lot of fun chasing one another down the hallway into our bedroom, and Miette is relieved to have some of Daenerys attention diverted from her. The whole family has fallen in love with our little leopard-bellied Link!

Meet Link

Here's the newest addition to our family Link! He was born on April 20th, and we've had him for 5 days now. Paulino fell in love the very first night when Link spent the entire evening curled up in his lap for the entire D&D game.

Splash Time

After five consecutive days of swim class Daenerys has decided that it IS fun! We are having lots of fun splashing, kicking, and blowing bubbles.
