Well, no good excuses for my long absence in blogging. Just the usual with
Einar and I losing the battle with the back to school crud; visits from
Ukrainians and a nice visit from Jennifer, Mary and Sammy; the computer nearly crashing from being overloaded with old information that was taking up our start-up disk; and just keeping up with these two kids and our San Clemente life. Jared fixed our computer on Sunday by trashing a lot of old stuff that was taking up disk space. It's working SO much better. We also celebrated our 6
Th wedding anniversary on Sunday!
This is the kids at family night out at Pick-Up
Stix. You should see the noodles that
Einar can put away.
Soren is going to be fighting him for food at the rate he's been slurping up his squash, sweet potatoes, applesauce, rice, and banana. Last night he ended up eating an entire banana mixed with rice cereal! Tonight it was squash and sweet potato.
"Chunky"
Soren hanging out on his new blanket that was handmade by my friend
Kimber. Can you tell that he's been
chunking up? We go back to the doctor on Thursday for a weigh-in and to find out the results of his blood and urine tests last week.
Yum,
Soren likes sweet potatoes.
Yum, I like giraffe biscuits.
Look at that amazing tongue on the giraffe! It's black and it really likes giraffe biscuits. On Saturdays at the zoo you can feed the giraffes (3 biscuits for $5). It was really an experience to remember. I fed the one in the corner. I think Jared and
Einar fed the same one.
Check it out!
Einar in front of the hippos at the Zoo. Not only are the floating hippos super cool, but I think that the best thing about this picture is
Einar's hair. We've been letting it grow out a bit and you may be seeing more pictures with action hair.
Happy
Exersaucer time.
Mary and Sammy in the San Diego Zoo parking lot with my Man-Totem.
Einar Giraffe.
Soren Giraffe.
Karla Giraffe.
Dancing up a storm while waiting for dinner at El Adobe in San Juan Capistrano.
Soren gets a kick out of watching
Einar play with his trains and build his tracks. Then when he's had enough he cries out to be rescued.
Sammy,
Soren, and
Einar stop the playing to have a bit of a photo shoot. Sammy and
Soren had a good time hanging out on the couch together.
This is one of our visiting Ukrainians,
Mykola. He and our other guest,
Toraas, are in the Kiev Symphony Orchestra and were in San Clemente for 3 nights last month. We volunteered to host a couple of the musicians and enjoyed having them here. Jared and I went to the concert on Friday night and it was a great evening.
Soren liked it too.
Cousin Sammy hanging out with the gorilla baby at the Zoo.
Ogle Family dressed in navy blue shirts and olive shorts at the San Diego Zoo. We didn't plan the outfits, but when we all walked out the door we matched. Even Jennifer and Mary were wearing this outfit! Only Sammy and
Soren didn't get the memo.
