Photo Update

It has been quite a while since I have uploaded photos…so here are some!

We went to have Jamey’s cast removed after 3 weeks of it being on….and they decided to leave it on for two more weeks. Thankfully, it has since been removed!! I took these photos in the cast room on the day we thought it was coming off. In the last of these three photos, you see Ginna and Jamey sitting together. This has been a hobby of theirs lately…find little places to sit and squeeze in together. You’ll see other examples below.

Near the end of August, the kids and I took a trip to San Diego to see my college roommate, Rachel. She was there celebrating her 30th birthday. We spent the night with her in the historic US Grant hotel….and Ginna called it the G hotel since there were G’s on the doors and bed pillows. This was exciting for her!

The kids got Rachel into all sorts of crazy games!!

We took them to the science museum…there was a toddler room that they loved.

Ginna filled the grocery carts with food; Jamey filled with blocks.

Together, they devised a system for Jamey to drop food from the black window onto the conveyor belt (you can’t see him, but he is inside the structure), and Ginna would catch it and put it into the cart.

Museums like this are great. There were even reminders on the walls about child development….it can be helpful to remember that young children do not naturally think from the perspective of anyone but themselves (well, neither do many adults). There were tips for encouraging healthy play and interaction.

Here is another photo of them sitting together. Ginna comes up with all kinds of make-believe schemes and gets Jamey involved. They were driving a car last week with their babies sitting in their bike helmets. She told me they were in their car seats.

They love their daddy!

Ginna started back to preschool two weeks ago. She is going three mornings a week and loves it.

LOL!!

Jamey lives in the backyard these days. He is usually digging in a designated digging zone. Some mornings, he brings a shovel to me and asks me to come dig with him.

And there is the photo update!
