We had a shoot with none other than the lovely Susie Linquist, a dear friend and our kids' lifelong photographer (literally). To us, she's family. She moved away a little more than a year ago to be near her own family as she now has a baby boy of her own. When I heard she would be coming back to San Diego, I jumped at a chance to meet her baby boy (he's gorgeous), and have her photograph our Aubrey. Here's a photo taken after we finished our session:
Saturday brought us a visit from Aurena and Dan. We hang out with them monthly and this weekend, they treated Dean and I to a date day. They watched Derek and Aubrey while we went to watch Harry Potter in 3D. Aubrey wasn't feeling too well, she wasn't really keeping anything down, but was otherwise in good spirits. Aurena and Dan were real troopers, I think she threw up on both of them...and every photo that Aurena texted me, Aubrey was wearing a different outfit, haha. We're very grateful to have such wonderful friends who love our kids.
On Sunday, we had a lazy morning and midday at home. While Aubrey napped, Dean and Derek ran a quick errand.
When they came home, Derek and I hung out, drawing in his new notebook and playing with his truck. I was laying down on the floor and Derek sent his truck rolling towards my head and...
Yes, it got stuck. Dean was able to get it untangled (thanks hub!) without having to cut my hair. I was NOT excited about this particular hair accessory, but Dean's reaction was pretty funny. :)
We wanted to go on an outing to the park, but I wanted to feed Aubrey before we left. Derek decided he wanted to feed her, so he put on the nursing pillow and I placed Aubrey on it. She looked sort of confused and when she realized that Derek wasn't me, she looked up at me with this look on her face:
and when Derek realized that his idea wasn't going to work, he gave me this face:
heh.
So I fed her, and off we went to the park!
We walked around the park a few times and visited Eric and Christina, our friends who live close-by. Then we headed to the playground, where Derek had a really good time on the slides and stuff.
So now it's Monday and already i'm looking forward to this coming weekend. Our kids are growing really fast. Sometimes I do a double-take when i'm looking at them and think, "Sheesh, they're really tall! when the heck did that happen??" Can time just slow down a little bit?? At least while our kids are still little so we can enjoy this stage.
Have a great week, everyone!
