Who needs Aunt Jemima?

We had a fun week! We went with our playgroup to a maple syrup farm and took a tour, had a chance to help with the process, and the best part...tasted the finished product! So fun and so tasty! Brayden had a great time, and he enjoyed tasting the sap dripping from the tree and then comparing it to the finished syrup. We also met some playgroup friends at an indoor playground. Brayden really surprised me with how adventurous he is becoming. The place was huge with slides, tunnels, ball pits etc.

I have really been enjoying making baby food, and Callie is still loving eating it! I love seeing the freezer full of avocado, banana, apple sauce and butternut squash.

Home Sweet Home

We took advantage of Ray's business trip in Houston by making it a "go home and visit family and friends trip." We had a fun few days. We got to see Lacey's first softball game; we spent time with family; saw the TUTS musical, "Billy Elliott," (SOOO good by the way); we went out to Baker Street with some friends; and we had a playdate with Brayden and Callie's friends. Such a great time! The day after we got back to Ohio, some of the neighborhood ladies hosted a luncheon for us. It was so nice and they had all made such delicious food too! : ) Although it will always be difficult to say goodbye, especially to our family, our friendly neighbors and comfortable house in Ohio make it a little easier.

Bring on the meat!

Maybe not the meat just yet...still working our way through the veggies, but Callie is loving them! We started off a little rough with the plain rice cereal, but once we began mixing the cereal with a veggie it tasted much better and our little girl was much happier about the idea of solids! : )

Mom and Aunt Jo Visit

My mom and Aunt Jo Anne came to visit a few weeks ago. We had such a fun time! We went out to eat, were spoiled by meals made by each of them, went shopping, went to story time at the library, and had a fun time just spending time together! It is becoming a bit of a tradition that Brayden and Grandma make chocolate chip pancakes together. Brayden loves making them with Grandma! We didn't want them to leave, but thankfully we knew that we would be seeing them in Texas in just two weeks!

Lately...

We've been enjoying exploring the new place that we live in along with meeting lots of new people.
Getting ready for playgroup. Our playgroup is not only made up of two year olds, but babies Callie's age too! Perfect! About to leave for the "Hudson Newcomers Club Hawaiian Social." We met lots of people at this event, and the best part was that they were really dressed in Hawaiian gear...didn't expect that especially considering that it was 8 degrees that night! : )

We have been loving the beautiful sunsets!

And of course, playing in the snow!
