Long days of January

We've had a bit of a change in our routine. Our two weekly playdates have been cancelled or postponed. The Edward family moved to Southern California & the Bailly family had a baby - who ended up in the hospital for a week. We are SO looking forward to seeing them again regularly once they are healthy - hopefully next week.

Anyway, we've had to be creative in filling our weeks up. We've started having playdates w/ a good friend of mine who has two daughters about Oscar & Calvin's age. We meet at a place called Me Too which is way cool. Here are a few shots. It gives Shawnna & I a chance to actually talk. Shocking, I know. Here are the boys playing in the playroom & Lauren all dressed up...

We've also added a weekly or bi-weekly trip to the downtown library. We take the max which is an adventure in itself. Jen Bailly made the boys "book bags" for Christmas so this gives them a chance to use them. The dwtn library has story times, a huge children's section & is super fun for them. We even got them each a library card!

And of course there is OMSI - which we hit a few times a month.

7 weeks or so to go before we'll have to reinvent it all again when the baby arrives. Speaking of the baby - we moved the boys into the same room together this month. That is going great. This has freed up the nursery for re-decorating. So I've also spent the last few weeks painting giant navy dots on the wall. It'll give this little guy something fun to look at & make the nursery his own, instead of yet another hand-me-down.
