Standing and Sitting

I took these pictures this morning. David is getting so strong. He can hold onto Daddy's hand and stand up. He is also getting better at sitting up. He can keep his balance for quite awhile before toppling over.

My Little Cowboy

David got some cute little cowboy boots from Grandma Engell. They were his Daddy's when he was little. They are a little too big still but I put them on him and did a photo shoot. So here is the little cutie.

Shelves

Andrew built me new shelves for the kitchen closet. It is sooo nice. Now I am working on getting everything organized.


In Progress

Stick Out That Tongue!

David has been sticking his tongue out a lot lately. It is so funny!

Fun and Games

One of David's favorite new toys are his feet. He is always grabbing them and putting them in his mouth.




I picked up two little finger puppets while on our trip. He enjoys playing with those.



David enjoys the swing a lot more now. He notices and plays with the toys on the tray and also enjoys waving his arms to the swinging motion.

Our Cabin Stay

Last year at a newlyweds retreat we won a two night stay at a cabin on Odell Lake in Oregon. We finally were able to use it on our way home from California. We had a lovely and relaxing time.


Our Cabin: for some reason the only picture I took turned out blurry, sorry:(

Visiting and Seeds

On our way home we stopped to visit my great Aunt Fran and Uncle Charlie in Petaluma. It was nice to see them and show them the baby.



We also stopped at the new Baker Creek Heirloom seed store. It was a lot of fun. I bought a few things even though I didn't really need anything.

Hand and Foot

The evening before we left my family's we all played agame of hand and foot together.

Having fun!!


Even David got to play

Cousins

Here are some pictures of David playing with his cousin Annie.

Fruit

On Thursday evening we went to the San Luis Obispo farmers market. It is quite the event. There are several blocks of produce and several blocks of food booths. Unfortunately I forgot to take any pictures while we were there. We bought several exotic fruits while we were there. I did take pictures of those when we got home.

Colorful fruit


Blood orange. I think these are so pretty inside.


Strawberry guava


Passionfruit(purple) and Pineapple guava(green) The pinapple guava is my favorite, it has a sweet, tart and tropical flavor.


Kumquats a tiny citrus that you eat whole, peel and all

Visiting The Goats

David enjoys going outside to see all the sights. Here he is with Grandma visiting Melissa's goats.

San Simeon Hike

Andrew, Jonathan, David and I went over the San Simeon beach one afternoon and took a little hike. It was a beautiful sunny day.
