Yes we are still alive

Yes.. we are still here. I know it has been a long time since I've posted. Things have become very busy for me with a new position at work and trying to fit in time to exercise, etc. Here are some of the things we've been up to for the past couple of months. I will try to do better about keeping up!! Hope you enjoy!

The Air Show

Last weekend, the Thunderbirds were in town for the airshow. Here are some pictures I was lucky enough to get. What an amazing show!

Bird Nest

We had a bird nest in our backyard this spring and had the pleasure of watching the eggs hatch and baby birds grow. Connor very much enjoyed watching this, and we were lucky enough to have the nest low enough to allow us to take pictures.

Mother's Day Tea

In May, Connor's preschool class hosted a Mother's Day tea for us. It was adorable. Connor escorted me in saying, "May I take you to your seat?". Then he pulled out my chair for me and served me a cookie. They also sang us songs and had some special gifts for us. It was so sweet.

The answers he gave to questions about mommy... BLACK hair????

Weekend in Sonoma

At the end of April, Mat and I went on a no-kid trip to Sonoma. We had a great time wine tasting (one of my favorite things to do), going to an A's game, dining in San Francisco and enjoying the company of great friends. Here are some pictures of our getaway.

For the birds!

Connor LOVES to do "projects" so today we went to Michaels and stocked up on project supplies. Today's activity was buying a bird house and letting him paint it. Here are some pictures...(some silly ones too...)

Future Baseball Player

For his birthday, Connor got a baseball tee from Tante Nen-Nen, he and daddy practiced with it and it was very cute. I'm sure these are the first of many, many father/son baseball pictures.
