Blessings

Every since CPea was born, we wanted to baptize her. It seemed like a lovely ritual to share with loved ones and a new baby. But, along with my plan to make homemade baby food, decisions were put off for so long we ended up with a second baby that we also wanted to baptize.

So fast forward to Easter weekend this year. We found a great way to baptize the children just the way we wanted to, Huntington Beach style, complete with wetsuits. It was a happy celebration for all of us and Scott and I loved the opportunity to share our love for our beautiful daughters aloud.

CPea, post baptism. It was cold in the water but she really enjoyed it!

Scott and the girls in Huntington Harbor, and yes, those are pastors in those wetsuits!

LilPea got her nails done for the event. Its no long white christening gown, but she loved it. There's not much we won't do to see our babies smile.

Well, Hi! Its been a while, but better late than never I think. Its been a busy winter for us, and I use the word winter lightly, but you know-it did rain here a few times and closed some things down so we'll call that a weather disaster.

In the meantime, we've kept ourselves busy with activities. Scott's triathalon training continues, he really loves it. We spent Valentine's Day weekend in Palm Springs where he did the Tour de Palm Springs. It was 50 miles or so. The sweetpeas and I cheered him at the end and spent the rest of the time by the pool with drinks. My favorite kind of getaway.

CPea and LilPea celebrated many days of Valentines of course between home, school, and neighborhood activities. Any holiday where candy is a focal points tends to be big with LilPea especially.

CPea and I are starting to go on a few 'big girl' dates together. We don't really get to spend too much time just the two of us so when I can, I love to have time with just her. She's growing up so fast, I want to be sure to take note of these times in between driving around to all our activities. This is her at the park with her class bear she had for the weekend.

LilPea hasn't met a spotlight she didn't like. And when you don't have an acutal stage, she just makes one of her own. I believe this was part of her performance of the Chipmunks Squeakquel soundtrack. 'All the Single Ladies' remains her favorite song, with 'Bringing home my Baby Bumblebee' a very close second.

New Year, New Pics.

Happy New Year to All! Closing out the new year with a few pics from the holiday season.
