bookends

Well I'm guessing summer is coming to an end pretty soon. Yesterday Josie was playing in her pool and I was overwhelmed by how fun the last few months have been. We have done so much and my little baby is now a full-on toddler, with pigtails and a brilliant toothy smile.

(oh, and our little red bucket is completely faded to white...ha!)

half-way

Okay, so 20 weeks is only halfway if you ignore the fact that you have no clue you're pregnant for the first 6 weeks and that the last 6 weeks feel like 6 months. :) 


But here we are! Having a boy and super excited! 


Someone asked the other day, "Oh, are you keeping the name a secret again this time?"


"Well so far we don't have a name at all yet!" 


But we are working on it. 


And I am feeling great and enjoying being pregnant again. 


We are blessed. 

This playground has a tunnel :)

Playground...

We usually hit up the playground just around the corner from us, but the other day we decided to take a walk overlooking the bay and then check out this park. It was a lot of fun...

This is us looking at the boats.

Now for some park fun! 

This is just s snippet of Josie checking stuff out...

Just being her adorable self.

The Huntington...

A couple weeks ago Tom was working a Saturday (possibly the lamest thing on Planet Earth) so Josie and I decided to go up to Altadena and visit my friend Jenny. She fed us a great lunch and then took us to the Huntington , which she had passes to. We walked through the gardens (beautiful) and they even had a whole little section for kids, which Josie LOVED.

They had a section full of these little fountains...

They also had a cute little house made of shrubbery...

And a tunnel with rainbow lights inside. It was pretty long, but Josie just ran right through it...

In the shade.

round peg in a square hole...

Josie decided she wanted her ball to come with her on the slide...

Hmmmmmm....

Grrrr...

Come on! 

Huh.

It wasn't until a towards the end of the struggle that I thought, "WHY in the world aren't I videoing this?" Here is what I was able to catch (sorry about how bumpy it is, you can hear me laughing)
