Froggy Fun

                                                                     The Tent
                                                     Is it comfy?
                                                                     Hanging out

  This weekend Jake has not been feeling well.  We have had a few sleepless nights and a lot of hanging around the house.  He was getting kind of bored with the regular toys(hard to believe when he has so many).  So, I got him this cute frog tent at Target.  As soon as we got it up he headed straight inside.  From set up until bedtime we have been in and out of it all night.  Of course we read a few books in it too.

Snow Day

 Yesterday we headed up to the snow for our last chance at vacation fun before I have to go back to work.  Our good buddies very kindly shared their snow gear with us so we didn't have to buy as much at REI.  We drove up to Yuba Gap to the snow park, but we didn't have the right permit to get in.  Then we headed back to Nyack road where our friends the Quicks had been a few weeks earlier.  It was absolutely perfect for Jake.  It was sunny and beautiful out.  A little cold for mom's taste, but at least it wasn't foggy. Jake loved watching the other people sledding and having snowball fights.  He thought it was pretty fun throwing a few too.  Then he did a little sledding of his own minus the sled.  He thought that was great fun.  All in all,  it was a great introduction to the snow.  

Happy New Year

                                   Very cool new bath toy that light up when it hits the water.

    Happy New Year!  Today I was a very lucky mom.  I got to spend the whole day with Jake. We read tons of books, did a little shopping, and played some games.  It was wonderful to get to have so much fun with him.  Not a bad way to start the new year.  2008 was a great year for us. We had a lot of firsts-first steps and first words(Mama).  The list could go on and on.  I am really looking forward to what the new year will bring.  One of my many goals for this year is to be better about blogging.  So, here is my first blog and the first pictures of the new year.
