It's so easy to just put videos up. They kind of speak for themselves and I can just do less writing!
Here are a few funny ones from the last couple of weeks. Enjoy!



Here are two. I have more but don't have time right now. The first one is from our trip to San Francisco. This is in Golden Gate Park. We stumbled upon some sort of group dance lesson. It was so cool so I had to take a video.
The other one is of Charles and Madeline. He discovered her little ABC magnets and wanted to sing along for Madeline. She was unsure of him touching her stuff at first but then kinda got into it. They are super cute! Now she has started singing her ABC's too!

Yesterday, Madeline and I went up to Addie's house for a little visit and for some raspberry pickin'.
Madeline could not eat them fast enough.
Here is a video. Enjoy.

Madeline is very a very caring girl. She always wants to make sure we get a little try of whatever she's enjoying. Check it out.

So, yes, it has been a very long time it seems since I have entered anything! We have just been so busy since school has been out that today I think was our first day to just be at home with a relatively clean house and feeling like we could relax.
Anyways, there are a lot of photos to post so I will put some up of our trip to Calistoga with Mike's family, Madeline and my cake from yesterday and whatever else I can find.
There is also a very cool video.
Madeline is on fire right now. She is SO quick with new words and everyday, she is surprising us with something new.
She is really into Winnie the Pooh right now and also, has found a love of honey, probably something to do with Pooh. But she yells, "POOHHONEY!!" and spins in circles laughing. She has had a few of those honey sticks that we bought at the farmer's market and well, it was love at first taste.
Tonight, we also smoked a whole chicken breast on the bbq and she could not get enough of it! Holy cow, she probably ate half of a breast by herself. Her love of sausage is so weird. If she had just sausage for every meal of the day, she would be pleased as punch..."saussaus and eggies" is what she always asks for but she hardly ever eats the eggies but always the sausage. We get the kinds with no nitrites. Well, enough babbling! Here are some photos of the last couple of weeks!

So, this is wine tasting with Leslie. The guys took all of the kids while the ladies went out to lunch and did a little wine tasting. We are at Rombauer and I could barely slow the car down before she was out the door and hopping on the cow! (We dared her and well, of course she couldn't turn down a dare!)
These pictures of Mike and Hank are from the oyster fest. Some booths had HUGE oysters and they could barely choke them down...













That is a picture of the cool house we rented. It's actually a small bed and breakfast but we had the whole thing. I think it only sleeps 8 anyways.





Here is Madeline with her cousins. They were fast friends and she pretty much could care less about where I was, she just wanted to hang out with Emma. And Emma is SO good with her too!



That plate down there is what I had for lunch. We went to the CIA restaurant and I got the lamb kufta, it came with falafel, tzatziki some micro greens of course and crispy pita! YUM.






This is Madeline and her friend Hope, our neighbor. She came over and they painted one day. They had a ton of fun!




Sorry, the photos are all out of order because I can't figure this thing out! I am going to do two posts so that I can do it better on the next one!
