Aunt Jan taught her to say "bye, bye!" Love it!
March Madness
As many of you know this month I turned 30 and if there's one thing I've learned at the ripe old age of 30 it's that things don't always go as planned. Our plans for my 30th was to meet Kevin in Hawaii for a long weekend and Mom would come to watch Addie. The thought of this wasn't easy and I found myself counting down the days I had left with my baby girl, instead of the days I had till I was in Hawaii.
So the day arrived and I boarded the plane bawling at the thought of my first night away from her and as the doors were about to close I got a call from Kevin, who said..."Your Mom's been in an accident, but they are okay." I ran off the plane and my good friend Jen came to pick me up to meet Mom and Addie at the hospital. They were okay, aside from a bruise on Addie's neck where the seat belt restrained her and the soreness Mom felt from the impact.
They had been rear-ended by two cars on the freeway. I am so thankful that we have the safe car we have and I am thrilled it is repairable. My mom could not even recognize the car in the middle and our car is simply bent under with the back window still intact.
Kevin was able to come home that night and I can't begin to count all the blessings I am thankful for, from a good friend who came and got me, to having my baby safe in my arms. It will be a while before we are ready to leave her again, but I still remain strong in believing that it is important for Addie to grow up in a home with two parents who make their love and marriage a priority.
So happy they are safe! Love you Mom!Our Irish Baby
On St. Patty's Day we picked Grammy up from the airport and went to one of my favorite restaurants in Davis, called Bistro 33. It was great weather and we were able to sit outside. As we were eating we continued to get comments on what a perfect St. Patty's Day baby Addie was. I didn't even think of it, but I must say she is the cutest little Irish baby I know, even if we don't have Irish in us!
The Infamous Kim, Our Nanny
There is nothing more peaceful than knowing when you have to go to work your baby is loved and well taken care of. When Kim walks through the door in the mornings Addie just lights up. This Wednesday I came home to a spotless home, (even our laundry room was clean!) and a card that her and Addie had made for my birthday. What a birthday gift!?!
We love you Kim and are so, so fortunate to have you in our lives!
It's beginning to look a lot like...
Spring! It is evident the season is changing. I love the fall in Oregon and I love spring in California. 
My favorite tree is starting to blossom. I need to find out it's name.

Her pretty flowers.
Kevin has planted our garden. This year he planted an artichoke, strawberries, cucumbers, onions, jalapenos, and of course tomatoes. He also planted grapes along the fence and the hops are still hanging on from last year. Maybe someday we'll brew our own beer and wine...or maybe not and I'll just keep dreaming we live on enough land to grow that many grapes!
A bird's nest right out our front door. Every spring eggs have hatched in this nest. We can't wait for them to come back this year.
The beautiful green grass on the 52,000 acres of wetlands a block away from our home. The Potrero Hills are beautiful and the picture just doesn't do them justice. I found a great website which gives more information on what is known as the largest wetland preserve. Check it out if you are interested, http://www.iep.ca.gov/suisun/facts/index.html.
The blooming Japanese Cherry Blossom trees line our path along the marsh. We try to take this walk daily.Photo Shoot
Spring is in the air and I've been taking pictures everywhere!
Since I've had my baby, I've turned into a crazy picture lady!
Family Time at Gymboree
As I've written previously we've been going to Gymboree which offers music classes and play and learn classes. This last weekend we all went together. It was so much fun to see other families with babies Addie's age and play on the equipment. We look forward to many more Gymboree sessions!
