Last weekend we went on our first camping trip in four years. This time, we had two kids in tow, Amelia and Audry. For us, the camping trip went well. We got a little rained on, but we dried quickly. The weather wasn't hot and wasn't too cold, either. Amelia loved be outdoors and didn't really fuss. At night she got to sleep with Mommy & Daddy. Amelia also got her first boat ride, or third depending how you look at it. But it was her first outside of Mommy's belly. She had a good time but was easily lulled to sleep. Hopefully we'll be able to get some video of the boat ride soon. Other than that... just plugging and chugging away!

Til next time...

Amelia's party pictures

So it's been awhile and I am finally not too busy and awake enough to update the blog. Here are some pictures of Amelia's birthday party.

As for the house, we're nearing completion. The floors are done (sanded, stained & sealed). The tile in the bathroom is done. The carpet is in. The paint in Amelia's room has been redone. Now the sinks and fixtures need to go in. The microwave needs to be installed. The banister/ballustraud needs to be refinished. The kitchen cabinets need to be realigned. The rest of the light fixtures need to be reinstalled. The mirrors need to be installed. We need a door for the shower. We need closet rods. And the floor boards and such need to be installed. Then it's a full clean of the house, final inspection and then we can move in. I'm not guessing when we'll be in, but I don't think it will be before July 4th weekend. Ho hum.

More to come...

Long time coming...

Sorry it has been a long while since I last posted. But I know some of you are itching to see new pictures. So without further ado, here are some of her birthday party a week or so ago.

It's my party and I'll cry if I want to!

Mmm... cake!

Amelia's new slide!

Something to keep you occupied

Amelia's first birthday bash went really well. But Mommy is wiped out. Until she can muster up enough energy to really post, this will have to do...

Here's MoMo and Amelia having fun at the diner. Enjoy!

Just in case she doesn't believe it... we caught Amelia in the act. You'll have to turn it up because Daddy kept making noise. But the best is around 10 seconds in.

Can you picture this in about 12 years, "I don't snore!"

12 Month Check Up

All's well with Amelia. We just went in for her 12 month check up. She is 18 pounds 12 ounces and 28" tall. At her last check up she was 18 pounds 3 ounces and 26.5" tall. So she definitely had a height growth spurt. Doctor says everything is on track with her and says she must be a really active baby. He even asked how her birthday was and if she enjoyed eating cake! She had two shots... the MMR and the pneumococcal immunizations. We opted not to do the chicken pox vaccine. Our next appointment isn't until September.

Still recovering from Amelia's first birthday. She absolutely adores the 50s Diner. She loves taking all the stuff out from the diner and crawling around with everything. I think it's a good choice! :) Here's some video of Amelia and Audry using the diner.



We go for round two this coming Sunday!
