Just pictures...

Yay!  I found a replacement for my old Picnik website.  Google bought Picnik.com in April 2012 and shut down the website that I used to create all of my collages.  I could never find an equal replacement and really liked missed my collages.  I think google was blocking all my searches.  Well I just found ribbit.com which is almost 100% a duplicate of my old Picnik.com.  So lots of collages to come now.  Tina sent a 6 month supply of old pictures she had taken on her phone over the holidays.  Perfect to try out my new website.  Here are lots of old pics of Cason's daily activities.

Raccoon in trash can

Cason loved this little raccoon puppet in the trash can.  He still exclaims "oh! Raccoon out of trash can!" every time he sees a picture of a raccoon.

Cold January

The past few weeks have been cold!  We haven't done too much outside but when we did we sure bundled up.  We had to be creative so off to the bookstore, rode Caltrain for a train experience, built baby's new dresser and other general things to entertain Cason.


bundled up for a walk - approx 40 degrees

Happy belated 2013!

Too many things occurred in December!  The month was filled with recoveries from injury, parties, family, work and activities.  Everyday seemed like a firedrill and as you can see very limited blogging.
Recap:
We started out the month with still recoving from Cason's slip and fall.  It took him a solid 2 weeks to walk again and around 3 to run.  He has fully recovered and is on the move again.
Steve had minor knee surjury on the 30th and is still slowly recovereing.  He was limited to moving around the house and picking up Cason.  Cason did not like that very much.  "Dada UP!!"  resulted in a few tantrums as we tried to explain that Dada has a owie and couldn't pick him up.

After that it was shopping and decorating for the holidays.  6 months pregnant I managed to get a tree home and into the house along with some Christmas lights on the house.  Cason's 2 year birthday fell right in the middle of all of this and we had a small get together at our house on the 15th to celebrate.  Gigi and Papa made their way up to help celebrate from So. Cal (and took all the pictures, so we are waiting on those).  Highlight was singing Happy Birthday to Cason, who was all smiles and said "One more happy happy" at the end of the song.  We had to sing it again and still have requests ever so often for the "Happy to me" song.

Throw in a few more parties, movies, mom's nights out, etc.  Also, after lots of work thrown in the month of December, refinance the house, and a few late night city board meetings... we had Christmas Eve at the White's house and then got on a plane to So. Cal on Christmas morning.  Lots of presents and clothes between birthday and Christmas (especially trucks) Cason is set for the year.

We rang in the New Year's at the Seed house and actually made it until midnight!

Welcome 2013 as more chaos and change to come very soon!

Can't have a blog without some pictures, here are some more of our professional pictures until I get all the December pictures sent from Gigi...
