Christmas was very exicting for Paige this year. She woke up to find this slide from Santa. She was so happy she ran right up to the top and slid down first thing in the morning. This continued all day. She also figured out how to send most of her other toys down the slide as well. She was also suprized (as were we) to find a full size tramp set up in the backyard! A gift from Santa as well. He really knows what we need (a tramp in 0 degree weather!) Thanks Santa!
Paige has been practicing smiling and has really fine tuned it with her new digital camera. Yes our daughter is already getting expensive electronics for Christmas at 20 months old!
She has also perfected the sad face which she can do on command or just to get what she wants!
Cam enjoyed Christmas as well. He mostly got clothes but I think he realizes that in the next few months he will fully enjoy the slide and tramp as well.
Last minute (due to oversold flights) we left for Portland 9am on the day after Christmas. Our kids did awesom on the flight and we are looking forward to spending the next 2 weeks in Oregon. The pic of Cam above shows exactly how happy he is to be going to visit Grandma Suze and Grandpa Terry.
Happy Easter!
Despite our best efforts, Paige could not supress this smile!
Cam liked the grass most of all.
But as soon as he discovered this chewy lizard, the grass went by the wayside.
Valentines Day started off with Paige and I making chocolate covered strawberries. Paige thought she had gone to heaven when I let her go to town on the leftover chocolate. She started with dipping pretzel sticks but soon ditched those and went for fingers only!
I know it looks like she is grimacing, but this is actually her SMILE face.
I prepared a romantic dinner for 2 of miso salmon with sake butter and rice.
Needless to say the "romantic" portion of the dinner went out the window when we were joined by two extras!
Cam got a little crazy and we had to pry his fingers AND toes off the sparkling white grape juice bottle!

Yes, he is FINALLY here! Baby Cameron decided to have mercy on his mother and came 4 days early on September 14th. He weighed in at a whopping 8lbs 4oz and was 21.5 inches long. Had I been expecting this size of a baby, I may have opted for a repeat c-section. But we went for it, had a "tear"able delivery and are still in the middle of a rocky recovery. Baby Cameron, however, is as happy as a clam. He is a great baby and brings our family nothing but joy! We are so happy to have him and Paige loves being an older sister.
