Story Time!

Today was the last day of  "Storytime" at our public library, for the winter session.  We take a month off and then we'll resume in April for the spring session.  It's a great, free activity that Millie really enjoys.  Once a week for 30 minutes.  We sing, read stories and she gets to hang with lots of little kids.  Awesome daddy went in late to work last Thursday and this Thursday so he could go with us!!  Yay, Dad!  Good times!

Grocery Shopping!

Millie LOVES riding like a big girl in the grocery cart.  She "talked" to everyone that walked by us :-)

Millie rockin' the Fisher Price beats!

Any requests?

As soon as the doorbell rings, Walter will chime in with the vocals!
Easy listening!
"hey party people!"

Walter has always loved a good DJ!

7 months old today!

Likes:  shaking her head when we ask her questions....as if to say "no, no, no!", sitting up and reaching for things...anything, peas!, monkey, being barefoot
Dislikes: seems to like most things these days...although still dislikes naps :-)






(this next series looks like Millie had a hard night of partying...hee hee)


Dancing to "Kermit's Duwop"


Millie LOVEs watching videos....her favorites are Kermit and Elmo!!  Jaimeson loves practicing his dance moves to them too ;-)

Fun Weekend!


A cuban lunch at "Havana's"

(notice her V-day shoes)

We were lucky to get a wee bit of sunshine here in the NW this weekend, so we took full advantage of it.  Jaimeson and I have never been ones to celebrate Valentine's Day.   But since it was Millie's first, we decided to head over to one of our favorite neighborhoods in Vancouver, Commercial Drive....on the east side.  It's a very eclectic, diverse mix of people, stores, restaurants....always a good time.   We hit up our favorite restaurant, Havana's.  Millie got dolled up in some stylish duds (including her Valentine shoes...patent red, with little hearts cut out on top...too cute!)  After lunch we did a little shopping and spent some time in the city park, swinging in the sun.  


On Sunday, we drove over to North Vancouver....there's an epic little spot called Deep Cove.  A quaint little village tucked into the North Shore of Vancouver....surrounded by moutains and water...the views are incredible.   It's a short drive from the city, but you feel like you're miles away.   We played in the park with Walter and then had a fabulous lunch at "Arms Reach."   Great way to end the weekend!

Old friends and new friends!

Another reason that it was super to return to RI for a visit was to meet our great friends' Nate and Pam's new baby, Olive. She and Amelia got along splendidly, and being that Olive is a few months older, shared notes on everything from sitting to standing to playing with toys. Soo cute!

Thanks for making the effort to come across the Bay to see us, you guys, and hope to see you again very soon.
