Today, Yesterday, and the Day Before That

Today we went to Salt Water State Park for our play group. We had a lot of fun finding little crabs like the one pictured above.

And Liv had a lot of fun holding hands with her friend Nalu.
Nalu rode in the car with us on the way over, because his Mom's car was in the shop. They were giggling and laughing really hard and I wanted to know what was going on. When I tilted my rear view mirror down it perfectly framed their little, fat, hands reaching across the car, from car seat to car seat, outstretched and clasped in each others hands. I was pretty sure I had another 12 years before this sort of thing started happening! :)

Yesterday after family night and just before Olivia went down for bed, we were watching her organize (or un-organize) her toys in her room. She is always the happiest when Mom and Dad are both there watching her play. I decided to take some pictures of Liv, just because I haven't in a while.

And here's my belly starting to poke out and show evidence that I am indeed pregnant. In a little over a week we get to find out what the gender is. I'm pretty excited. Any guesses?

This picture was taken a few weeks ago, just after a long day at church. While I was rocking her and singing her some pre-nap time songs, she fell peacefully asleep. I love these moments.

About a month ago (I know I've been slacking on my blogs) a neighbor friend and I took our kids down to the Children's Museum in the Seattle Center.
Here's Liv playing fire-lady.

This was a few days after we had gone camping in Oregon and as you can tell the Mosquitoes couldn't get enough of Olivia's sweet blood. The poor girl.

Olivia's favorite part of the museum was the art section where she got to paint and create things out of clay. She was very into it.
