Camping w. Mommy!

I guess I just got a hankerin to be in nature. It seemed like it had been so long since I had woken up outside, so I arranged to go on an overnight trip with a friend of mine. We went Tues-Wed (weekends are packed if you don't have a reservation, and of course, I went last minute) so Ryan couldn't come, and was sadly missed. However we had a beautiful sunset, the ocean, hiking, and lots of good weather, both Josiah and I loved it!













A hike down to Jade Cove- too bad Tracy and I don't know what raw jade looks like. I guess that would have been much more interesting. P.S. Check out Josiah's face in this pic, who is that baby?! What happened??








Josiah hanging out in the campsite, drinking his milk and relaxing. If you look closely, you can see his little eye peering out under the hat. He did great, took all his naps in the tent. I shared his tent so I had to listen to his talking a few times during the night when he woke up, but he managed to fall asleep on his own again each time. Can't wait to do it again, preferably with daddy next time!






Puttin' Down Roots!

A few home projects that have been keeping Ryan and I busy as we sink our roots into our "new" home...


I've finally succeeded at growing something beautiful! Daffodils and iris's are blooming now and they make me so happy.



Ryan planted an orchard with pears, cherries, apples, apricots and peaches, complete with an irrigation system and a fence to keep the deer out!





Finally finished the bay window, it looks great inside and out. This picture doesn't do it justice.
Of course, not to be outdone, our little man is full of smiles, trying to get his belly off the ground to crawl, and he loves being outside. He is so fun to make laugh and he is starting to appreciate our little daily adventures!
