Lots of Bebe Time

Spent the last 3 out of 4 weekends with bebes and of course their mommies and daddies .... lots of driving but now that I have had a weekend to rest up I am ready to go again!

Weekend #1 - drove to Burley to celebrate Emma's first birthday. It was Memorial Day weekend so made it a 4 day weekend. A very long drive but so worth it!! In spite of Emma's teething and ear infection creating some late night, middle of the night, wee hours of the morning turmoil and tears, Emma is such a sweetie, full of grins and a hint of mischief. Read her favorite book, Dr. Seuss's ABC book enough that I have a few letters memorized, (e.g. Q q Q - the quick queen of quincy and her quacking quackeroo). She snuggles in and waits for you to read every word.

Weekend #2 - relatively quick drive to Portland for Tabors's 2nd birthday. Lots of snuggles with Archie - just starting to really take in your face and smile. Lots of rocking and cuddling. Tabor of course is very busy, wants everyone to come play with him. Sometimes that means just laughing with him as he tumbles and laughs or seriously laying out train tracks and driving cars. Very much into the birthday thing - he had everyone sing 'Happy Birthday to Tabor' a second time while he stood quite proud of himself. So much fun to watch him open his present from us - one hand on the first sandbox truck while he literally was salivating and trying to open the corresponding loader. Pretty big toys to take to bed with him but that is exactly what he did.

Weekend #4 (#3 was rest up and get ready for Parma) drove to Parma convention. Best of both worlds - a very good convention and time with the Idaho Wilsons again. Shauna's parents (Dave and Sandra) brought their trailer which made convention life with a 1 year a bit easier (not easy but easier). Didn't have the camera out much but did manage to get a few dressy shots on Sunday!
