"Happy"



Eva has been quite the party girl lately. This summer has been an action packed season packed with birthday parties, BBQ's, and a host of other celebrations. I usually try to prep Eva for what is to come to develop her vocabulary in addition to setting clear expectations for behavior, etc. She's on to one pattern, and that's birthday parties. She has come to associate the cake with "happy" and says the word over and over again. It's really quite endearing. Every time we tell her she's going to a party she says "happy." It makes me smile every time. We all want our kids to be happy, no?

Abrahamson Larkins Visit! Trip to the Zoo...



Our good friends, Tim and Adelpha, came to visit last weekend with their two boys, Noah and Eli. We had such a good time hanging out with them and filled our days going to the zoo, kayaking, hiking, and other adventures. We were sad to see them leave but look forward to seeing them again in San Diego in June.
