Black sea picnic

March 21 2014

We decided that with all the moving in and setting up the house that they boys needed a little outdoor time.  They have been begging to throw rocks in the water.  And we found just the spot.

Where the rocks meet the waves. 

This could keep them busy for quite a while.

I was happy to sit and snuggle Anna.  The wind was fierce.

The view of the mt behind us.

Shadow selfie.

Luke always chose the heaviest he could find. 

Taking a break for PB&J.

He found some seaweed.  He was quite enthralled.  

You can see the snow on the distant mtns. 

Sometimes I can't quite believe I live here.  

Such a fun day with fun memories with our family of 5.

Drift wood.

Anna Caroline is 3 months old

March 19 2014

Our little girl is 3 months old.  She is just developing more and more each day.  She has her own little taste.  Loves talking to the birdies on her crib bedding.  Loves being in her room.  She eats best in the rocking chair in there. (it's quiet).  She is 9 lbs. even.  Gaining slowly.  

Learning to grasp her hanging toys.  Talks and coos at you.  Loves when you hold her looking out so she can see. 

She has big feet like her Daddy.  And is a grinning little thing.  

Out take

Loves attention from Daddy, but hardly gets any one on one time until after the boys go to bed.  

Our City

The view from the sea road, looking back at town.  

Today the waves were rolling in.  

Sunday afternoon out

The boys were so restless afar being stuck inside.

We headed out to walk by the water, and go to the park.

this small carnival type place is next to the park.  the boys definitely wanted to ride this.  no thanks.  grow a little.

A little çay plce over the water.  Lots of men playing board games.

And what do you know we ran into our new neighbors from our building,  

The have a sweet little girl Lukes' age.

Sickies

Our view from the living room one afternoon after a storm.  The Black Sea below beautiful sky above.

The waves were rolling in.

We were having a nice reading time on the couch,  we have been in this apt 2 weeks, and the boys just started their new preschool.  

Baby girl was unusually tired.

Ended up with a clogged tear duct.  

And that night after hearing one cough come out of the boys room, I deemed that it would be a long night as it sounded like Croup.  its like a dirty word to me now.  Noah has had 4 bouts with Croup and Luke once before.  We are happy the last time (when Noah went to the ER a couple months before )we finally bought a nebulizer machine, it certainly came in handy tonight.  We don't know Dr's in our new area yet.  

Sweet boy was miserable  

Daddy slept with the boys for 4 nights.  

Trying to keep this boy still and quiet.  Daddy thought horsey was a great game.

Just Anna taking a really great nap.  

And smiling a Daddy.  These 2 have the sweetest lil relationship.
