Saturday, Oct. 7th was the Blog's first birthday! Jared is the one who reminded me about the landmark day, but we forgot to toast the Blog while we ate Chiinese Food with Jennifer, Mary and Sammy that evening. Take a look back at last year's postings to be surprised again how quickly the little guy is changing and growing. When I started writing this Blog, Einar was very proficient at the army crawl around the house. Yesterday I caught him climbing from the top of the dining room table into his high chair. I think army crawling was far safer!
This past week, Jennifer, Mary, and Sammy came down to San Diego for a visit and a work conference for Jennifer. On Thursday Einar and I met Sammy and Mary at Legoland in Carlsbad. We saw all of the amazing cities built out of lego blocks and even rode on a train. Einar particularly enjoyed the fountains that spurted out of the ground at Pirate shores. He got really wet and had to have a complete head-to-toe change. Next time I'll be bringing a towel! The kids were worn out by the time we left and neither one of them were awake by the time we got to the freeway and headed home.
Friday night, Einar and I drove down to San Diego to have dinner with them near their hotel. Einar and Sammy were enthralled with each other and kept smiling, staring, and being the other kid's echo when they made sing-songy noises.
Jennifer and Mary checked out of their hotel on Saturday and after they went to Sea World, they came up to San Clemente to stay a night at Casa Ogle. It was great to hang out with the three of them!
One big milestone for this week is that Einar didn't bite anyone this week!
