Jack's Plane on the Hudson

When news came in about the airplane that landed in the Hudson river Jack showed a lot of interest and concern. He asked about it for days and even searched the news channels for more pictures. He got out his airplane and set it all up like this by himself. I was amazed at how well he remembered the photos that he saw briefly on t.v. He wanted to reenact the whole thing. Cute kid.

Jordan's crazy nap

This is what I found when I went to check on Jordan during her nap time. Looks like she had fun before she fell asleep. She could reach some of the games and puzzles off the shelf next to her crib. Since that day I take down those bins that she can reach every time before her nap. She is so funny.

Christmas Break Get-Away

We went had a great little get-away to San Francisco, Point Reyes, and Napa over Christmas break. First, we went up Coit Tower which has a great view of San Francisco and the bay. Then we drove to Golden Gate Park and had a picnic and played at the children's park. We then drove about an hour north to Point Reyes. There is a cool old lighthouse there. It was SUPER foggy when we got there. Jack counted every step as we walked back up the 300 steps from the lighthouse to the car. We drove east throgh some smaller roads to Napa and got dinner and found our hotel. The kids thought it was so fun to stay in the hotel and did what all kids do in a hotel room--jumped on the bed. The next day we explored Napa and several different wineries. Napa valley is beautiful. I loved how there was field after field of perfectly straight rows of grapes. We explored a castle winery and rode a tram up a hill to another one that provided greats views of the valley. The kids fell asleep in the car which was a life saver. We had a late lunch, rode a trolley around Napa, and even got to stop at a few outlet stores before heading home. One memory I have of this trip is that night when we pulled in to Palo Alto after 8:00pm we decided to continue to live it up and went to Red Mango for frozen yogurt. We just didn't want the fun to end.

New Song!

Does this count as a post??? I changed my song. Ha, ha! Actually, this song from jason mraz and colbie callait, and the other one I added to my playlist from plain white tees are my two favorite songs right now. Enjoy :)
