Adventures in Daley-ness

The biggest adventure in the last month is that we bought a HOUSE!!!! Along with that we have a now "cruising" and crawling-like-crazy baby and a bundle-of-energy 3 yr old. We've been working on our house when we can - painting, cleaning, recovering chairs, building shelves, fixing screens, ordering blinds, buying all kinds of fun things :) We've also been taking walks to the park, going to the zoo, hanging out with friends, having grandparents here to help, and all the other normal everyday things we do. Oh, also, Ezra got his first hair cut (he had a very long piece on the top/back). Here are a couple pictures and more will hopefully come soon :)

7 Months Old!

Here are the 7 month doggy pictures I promised:



As you can see, now that he can roll and scooch it's not so easy to get the picture :)
I wanted to put up more videos, but I don't think it's working (worked on preview, but when I viewed the blog I couldn't see it) - sorry about that.
Here are a couple more pics to enjoy instead :)

Video!!

Here is Ezra enjoying some home-made baby food (yea for me :)) - it's so cute the way he "talks" while he's eating now - it sounds like he's saying "num, num, num!" I think it's pears that he's eating in the video.


More videos to come soon!

Things are about to get interesting

At 7 months old, Ezra has started scooching (is that a word?) forward now!!! It's sort of like the "army crawl" but he uses both arms at once under him and pushes with his feet and pulls himself forward. He'll be crawling full force very soon - I can feel it :) So, we've begun re-baby-proofing. It's fun to watch him see a toy and go after it - and he's eager to be doing what his big brother is doing too. They have so much fun making each other laugh! Here are a few pictures for your enjoyment (7 month doggy picture coming soon!)




Also, a couple weeks ago, my brother and his family were here from Colorado and we had so much fun!

Fun, fun, fun!

So last weekend I went away with my moms group to a hotel in Costa Mesa for an overnight getaway! It was called "Beauty of Simplicity" and there was a "black dress" dinner and raffles and games and food and all kinds of girly relaxing. It was wonderful! Sean was at home with the two boys!!!! First time I've left Ezra overnight and he did great - took the bottle fine and behaved very well for daddy! The boys went over to our friends the Beans house (Janet was also on the retreat with me) Fri night and then met up with a couple dads and their kids at the park on Saturday. As soon as it was over, we headed south for a gathering with the Daley fam.

Also, last month, we went to the Long Beach aquarium with Sean and Ezra's great grandparents and cousins and to the LA zoo with our dear friends the Patricks. Here are a few pictures of all of these fun, fun, fun events! :)

froggy and doggy

Here are the pictures you've all been waiting for. This is Ezra's 5 month doggy picture (although he is almost 6 months old now!)And here is Sean Jr's first froggy picture (he was 4 days old) and his 3 year old froggy picture!

We were in the parking lot of Costco the other day and a woman said, "Aaah, my 20 yr old son is in Iraq right now, I'd give anything for a day with him at that age (talking about Sean Jr). It's true what they say - they do grow so fast! I want us to truly enjoy every stage with them and appreciate what God has given us!!! Here is one more picture just for fun and cause I think my boys are the cutest!

Getting big. . .

Sean is 3 years old!!!!
