Owen Fix

Posted by Rebecca in Owen.

Owen slept through the night last night. I’m not exactly sure what led to this . . . could be the supercute bear jammies, or perhaps the lack of his usual long afternoon nap, but somehow, he slept from 8:30 pm to just before 6 am. I’m doubting this will be a regular occurrence  as he’s been up at least twice each night in the past week. But, that extra sleep felt great last night!

Also, it’s probably time to move him from his bassinet into something a bit more his size, but I love having him next to me at night. He fits a bit better when he’s all swaddled up, so maybe he can hold out for another few weeks.

Apple picking with A&O

Posted by Rebecca in Ava, Olivia.

Sometimes, I think we don’t shoot nearly enough video of the kids. And then I remember that no one wants to listen to the soundtrack bickering and complaining. Doesn’t it look far more idyllic in the still image?

Bec: “Ava, you are delirious.”

Ava: “Is that the opposite of hilarious?”

Little Miss Attitude

Posted by Rebecca in Olivia.

Lately, Olivia has taken to expressing her discontent by stating simply but sharply: “Hate it.” It cracks me up every time, which only further annoys her.

 

 

Eventually, she relents and cracks a smile…

 

Even though the attitude on this one causes me quite a bit of consternation, it really is one of my favorite things about her.

Grilled pizza

Posted by Rebecca in In the kitchen.

We’ve had grilled pizza about once a week this summer, primarily focusing on fresh tomatoes and mozzarella. Bryan had an idea for a more seasonal pie, based on a incredible pasta dish at our favorite restaurant: ricotta, Italian sausage, roasted butternut squash, parmesan and fresh rosemary. It might be the best pizza we’ve had so far!

Second grade is going well—Ava’s working on a short story at school, and she’s teaching herself cursive handwriting at home. She’s making a few new friends and will host her first sleepover on Friday night.
