A catch up post

After a long hiatus from posting, here are some pictures from the last couple of months. It has been a whirlwind spring to date. I changed jobs and am now at a clinic which is 15 minutes from home. At the same time, our nanny was out of the country for 6 weeks. For the first week, I took time off and traveled to Vegas. The following week, Grandma Charlene came out for 2.5 weeks to take care of Joshua. After that, Tutu and G.G. came out to hang with Joshua for another 2.5 weeks. We were very grateful for all the help and visits. Joshua loved spending time with everyone!

Joshua and I traveled to Las Vegas to Tutu and G.G.'s house for a few days while Dave traveled back east for a conference.

Joshua loves his Tutu

While in Vegas, Joshua and I visits his Great Grammy J.

On a beautiful afternoon, we took a walk with Joshua in Rockridge.


We love to have lunch with Auntie Joyce and baby Tyler whenever possible. Here we met up in the city for lunch at Savor. Yum!

Picture perfect

While Grandma was here, we visited some wineries in Livermore.

The week before Easter, the Lamorinda Moms Club had a Easter party complete with an egg hunt. We had a great time and Joshua definitely got into the egg hunt.

They had real bunnies for the kids to pet.

Here is Joshua checking out his loot after the egg hunt

One of the eggs he picked up was a golden egg which has a gift certificate for a prize. He won this toy which was a bear in a boat he can pull around the house.


On Easter Sunday, Grandma, Daddy, Joshua and I headed out for brunch at Squirrels cafe in Lafayette.

Joshua was excited about his Easter basket and presents. His Easter eggs were stuffed with puffs and yogurt melts.

The Easter bunny was a gift from Tutu and G.G.

Although he has definitely put on some weight, our monkey continues to be a skinny guy.

While my parents were in town, we had a lovely early Mother's Day brunch at the Claremont Resort. It was a wonderful and fun brunch. Joshua was all dressed up and was such a great brunch companion.

The little flirt in action. This kid is going to have game. What am I saying. This kid HAS game. Watch out!

Happy after brunch.

Bath time is so fun these days that often the monkey has no interest in getting out.
