End of June

My birthday was at the end of the month. I didn’t feel like doing a whole lot, other than sleeping, relaxing, and being with my family, which is what I got to do. Well actually, I didn’t get to sleep much, Layla had other plans. But it was a fun day nonetheless!

The boys all had camp that day, so Jonathan and I went out to lunch with Layla. She was very sweet and slept in her carseat the whole time, so it was more like a date!

It was sunny out, so we sat on the patio and I had a glass of wine. It was very pleasant!

Another trip out. She looks so peaceful!

I was going through the work the kids brought home at the end of the school year and came across this keeper from Kieron. Get your minds out of the gutter! It clearly says “I went to Zeek’s Pizza”!

I also received this one I will hang on to from Avery. It was after an altercation in the playroom which resulted in the swift removal of ALL Legos for a period of time.

They’re putting in a new Safeway, Bartell’s, and some other retail near us. Here’s Silas checking out the construction.

Jonathan has been taking the boys to the river to play while I recover and look after Layla. I’m looking forward to joining them there soon.

First Few Weeks

Today Layla is already three weeks old! Time is flying by. These photos are all from her first two weeks. It’s been a bit of a blur. Here’s what we’ve been up to:

The week after Layla’s birth, two of my best girlfriends from Jr. High, Lyndsey & Jennifer, were in town from Utah & Singapore. They came over with their kiddos for a visit.

Side note… this coyote has been hanging around our house lately. He started showing up a couple of days before Layla arrived.

These two play awfully nice together sometimes

Little lady in her crib. While decorating the nursery over the past few months, I’ve been dreaming of the day I’d get to look at her in there!
