Window Art and Other Things ; )

Grandma Bernie is here helping out Maggie and spending some time with Aoife. She got Aoife some window markers that proved to be an outstanding hit! Aoife loved the new medium for her art ; ).



This is video of "Day 2" with the markers. Aoife had filled the windows so we talked about washing them and why, then we went ahead and did it. So, in the video you can see that she thinks it is time for them to be washed again (she keeps singing, "wash, wash"). She has become quite diligent in cleaning up after herself. If she, or anyone else for that matter, spills something she immediately runs to the drawer where she knows the kitchen towels are kept proclaiming, "mess, mess," and then returns to the site to clean up ; )!




What a sweet girl!

Otherwise we have been up to fun things. Not as many as we might like, Maggie has continued to struggle with the pregnancy and will be glad when it is over! She is on "modified bed rest," until after week 35, but both mommy and baby are healthy, healthy. At 33 weeks Baby Girl Stuhan already weighed almost 5 lbs. (according to a recent ultrasound)!

Here are some of the fun shots from what we have been able to get out and do:

Melissa and Cole introduced us to an awesome local place where we can go and pick blueberries, when they're in season ; )! The first time we went Aoife ate every single berry she picked! She LOVED them! The second time she actually put half of them in the bucket -- she still loves them, we froze a bunch and put them in her muffins and morning yogurt.

I am good at this!

Okay, even though I put that one in the bucket, I need to pull it back out and eat it -- yum!

Hmmm....where should I pick next?

At Multnomah Falls, we love this place.

Playing with Daddy at St. John's Park.
Yay, ducks! Quack, quack!
Daddy, I think you're really going to like these rye crackers and this queso manchego...

Aoife delighted in playing in the sand during our latest trip to the beach!

Woo-hoo! We love the beach!

Until next time...

Besos, besos,

James, Maggie, Aoife, and Baby Girl Stuhan
