March 2010

So I don't want to say it's been a busy month, but we have kept busy. Grandma and Papa Huebner have been enjoying the sun in Phoenix and we've been stuck here in gray Washington... though we certainly have been blessed with some beautiful days.

We've spent several of them bushwhacking at Grandma and Papa Ob's...

making phone calls to daddy while he's at work as well as various friends...

trying out new shades...

Unfortunately, Jaydan is stuck inside with a cold so we brought up his "new" construction bench from the garage to keep him busy...

and he's turned out to be such a happy worker.

Now that March is coming to a close, we're ready to be well and have some Spring sunshine to play outside. We're hoping April comes with fun and zest!

NESTING

The time has come... I've begun the nesting process. Jaydan's bedroom is becoming a community (kiddo) space so I've moved furniture around to prepare for baby girl's armoire. Today includes putting the feet on the armoire and (eek) getting it upstairs and stocked so that her clothes can get out of the way and into an organized home.

Vacuuming, which has NOT been my favorite chore in the past, has become part of my daily routine. I can't seem to get the floor clean enough and every morning I find that it's too dirty to function for another day. The rest of the house has suddenly appeared very clutter-ridden in my eyes and I'm getting frustrated with no where to move our stuff!

The kiddo sleeping situation is our next task to tackle. We have a couple options - both include baby girl sleeping in our room for the time being. Our first thought was to keep J in his crib (as he's not quite ready to potty train and it keeps him confined when he's "not ready" for sleep) and getting a smaller mini crib for our room. Then when we're ready to move into a larger home, J can get a bed and baby girl can inherit his larger crib. Second thought is to move the full sized crib to our room and get J a toddler bed and just deal with the in-and-out for awhile. Ugh... decisions decisions!

We *heart* San Diego

So I'm about a month delayed... oh well.

For Valentine's Day weekend we ventured to one of our favorite cities: San Diego. Jaydan was in tow for his first visit to SoCal, along with Grandma and Papa OB. We visited the zoo, Sea World, Mission Beach and most of the downtown corridor. We even found time to have dinner with some old friends - so great to see the Vey's again! It was short lived but definitely a great trip!!

enjoying the view at the zoo... totally enthralled.

loving the animals with daddy.

SO excited about the show at Sea World!

We were lucky not to get soaked and it was fun to see Jaydan enjoy himself so much.

all tuckered out after a fantastic weekend in the sun.

comfy flight for him, not necessarily so much for the rest of us.

Now that we've been home for a month and the sun has made it's appearance in the Seattle area, we're much less antsy to get away. We had a great time and can't wait to head down again someday soon!!
