I WIll Carry You

I Will Carry You

I love that I can kiss your head

Just inches away from my lips

Our hearts beat together as I carry you

Perched up high you see my world

Then turn your head in and sleep

Resting on me you are safe

Your body next to mine you are secure

We are in tune in this external womb

In my arms you will be

Until you are ready to venture out

But until then, I promise,

I will carry you.

Cable Airport

The weather was unperdicatble today so for our outing we stayed local. There is a small cafe at the Upland Cable Airport. They serve breakfast and lunch, Manaic Mikes. We haev been wanting to go for a long time and finally made it there. There weren't to many planes taking off on Sunday, maybe Saturday is better for that kind of thing? The food was good and the place had a nice 50's diner feel to it. The sky was gorgoues and it was nice to get outside for a bit!

When we came home Daddy worked on the yard and I got to work on refinishing a dresser I bought for you a while back. The stain came off easier then expected and I got a lot done before you were bored of being in your playpen. I even managed to get the stain on! Tomorrow the first coat of polyurethane is going on and I hope to have it in your room by next weekend.

Shooting a Wedding

What a busy day! Sarah's sister in law got married today and I was asked if I could shoot the wedding. I was also the coordinator and MC! You stayed home with Daddy and I headed out to Sarah's house. I had a great time and took some great shots for it being my 1st wedding. Thanks to Toni and Nate for trusting in me to capture your wedding day! I posted just a few of my favorites, there were so many to choose from!

Later that night I went to Spring Social for work at the Fairplex. I only stayed an hour but had a great time seeing all the students all dressed up. The artist that was there drew a picture of you from a photo on my phone, he did a great job! You looked so cute in your outfit today, your stripped skirt and onesies with the wiener dog in the stripped dress. I wanted to get a better photo of you in it today, but I was so busy (740 photos of the wedding!) that the day slipped by me. Hopefully you will get to wear it again before you outgrow it!

Flowers from Dating Anniversary

On the 11th was our 12th Dating Anniversary. Daddy bought me these beautiful red roses (1 for each year!) that we have been together. They have really held up well! Grandpa Gil gave us some watermelon tonight and you really went to town on it! You loved it so much, you couldn't get enough. I think it is your new favorite food Genevieve! The photo of you sleeping was to cute not to include, what a sweetie!

While Mommy went out shopping Genevieve stayed with me for the evening. We were very busy. First we played with the toys and Genevieve found her favorite Baby Einstein radio to play music along with all the other interesting toys to taste and play with. Then we went outside and used the baby swing, but the helicopter kept flying overhead and it bothered her. Sitting on the grass was fun for a while, but that got boring so we went inside and I gave her a bath. Splashing and playing with the squirt bottles was entertaining. Nice and clean we went downstairs and played with the toys, but Genevieve got distracted by the kitchen and all the interesting things in the kitchen. 

She found some napkins and discovered tearing the napkin into smaller and smaller pieces was a lot of fun. When she went for the tissues I said no and took them away. She crawled in a circle through the dining room, living room, entry way, back into the family room with a few stops along the way. Back to the toys and she tried to play with the lamp cord, but mean old grandma moved it to another room. Peek-a-boo was next and I was surprised that she can do this all by herself and lift the blanket over her face, then down, and laugh like it was the best joke in the world.  Finally Mommy came home and Genevieve was so happy to see her. All that and more in just three hours! Now Grandma needs a nap.

Morning Time

Genevieve you are so happy in the morning (most days!). It takes you a minute or three to get out of your fog but once you do you are ready to play. It is nice because I can leave you in your crib while I get ready for work. When you were little (your a big girl now!) I had to hold you while I brushed my teeth, combed my hair etc because you would cry. It is hard to get dressed holding a baby! Now you are so happy in your crib with your toys, thank goodness!

Cocos

Published with Blogger-droid v1.6.8

We use to have a Coco's right across the street from us.It was so nice to just walk over and get dinner every once in a while. Since they closed down we haven't been to a Cocos so we decided to break the streak and went to the one on Foothill and Euclid. I got the spicy Asian salad, and I had forgotten just how spicy it is! We enjoyed going and wish Cocos (or at least some restaurant!) would come back across the street. Much better then the boarded up building...
