A Milestone

Last night my beautiful little Elsa Beth slept through the night! She slept from 11:00 pm to about 7:00 am. Hooray Elsie! Jared had been gone on call for 24 hours, so I really needed some solid sleep. What a little angel!

Getting Old!

Yes, I realize I'm doing a lot of blogging for one day, but I decided to finally sit down and go for it. Both girls are asleep, so I thought I'd take a minute to shirk my duties and have a little fun.

So last night I went for my maiden voyage to the UCLA gym. We got a family pass to use their swim & tennis club along with the gym. So, I go walking in there in a sweet pair of red shorts that I bought at some outlet in the Pocanoes with Leslie and an old Chi Omega shirt that doesn't show my post baby #2 belly. I'm all pumped up and ready to work a little junk off of my trunk. I start looking around and I'm thinking, "Okay, these guys don't look that much younger than me. I'm not sticking out too much...hopefully!" So I get on my eliptical machine and start working out to my special "Runnin'" playlist. Then I realize all my music is kind of oldish. You know, like what I thought was cool in college. And it hits me. It's almost been ten years ago that I was a college freshman. YIKES! In my head I still kind of think that I'm there until I look down at my Bid Day '99 shirt and realize that I'm an Old, Old Lady!

Fall Festival

Once a week in our apartment complex we have story time under the tree. Yesterday we had a fun little Fall Festival. It included...

A Picture Station

Ava's the scarecrow and Elsie's the cat

Cookies

Painting with Leaves

Jumping in Leaves

A Hay Ride

And Carmel Apples

As you can see from Ava's pink cheeks in these pictures, it was really hot, so we polished off our October day at the pool! I LOVE CALI!

Elsa's First Smile

These are pictures that I took of my happy little baby last night. Elsa's first actual smile was Friday October 12th, but these are the first captured by a camera.

The New Potty

Hooray! Ava went on the potty for the first time yesterday! That could make life much cheaper and easier (eventually) for me. Keep up the good work Ava!
