Mother’s Day 2007

Continuing our recent binge of posts, here we have a set of pictures from a day trip we took to Santa Cruz last year on Mother’s Day. As you can probably tell from the photos, it was absolutely freezing that morning: we stayed bundled up on the sand, keeping as far away from the water as we could while maintaining a credible claim to having gone to the beach. That’s the primary reason we didn’t repeat the trip this year, though we might take another crack at it in a few weeks.

Next up: pictures from my parents’ visit last September, including still more shots of very cold children.

Joseph’s Birthday Time Warp

Seeing as Joseph is turning two in just a few days, it seems only appropriate that we post last year’s birthday pictures this weekend.

It’s also worth noting that Joe is moving up to Room I at daycare next Monday, after having visited part-time for the last few weeks. Room I is more or less the two-year-old room, the last step before preschool. Because he’s moving up, we’ll no longer fill out the day Infant Care Report sheets when we drop him off, and we’ll no longer get an itemized breakdown of what he ate, when he napped and played outside, and how often his diapers were changed at the end of each day. I’ll miss it.
