hot august afternoons
holy cow has it ever been a while since our last post! i guess we’ve been having too many good times to update sooner. 😉
my family drove out from california a few weeks ago to visit us again. well, visit arthur i should say. 😉 they stayed for a week and then headed back. and mickey came, too, of course. for pictures of mickey and jabba and leia, visit jabba’s site. 🙂 while they were here i had much more free time, so i was able to cook more and generally just get more done, or try to. arthur loved getting so much attention….who doesn’t like time with grandma? but for some reason, i hardly got any pictures while they were here. sorry!
during their visit my mom and i took arthur to sears for his first ubiquitous sears photo shoot. 🙂 when we get them back i’ll scan some and post them, they turned out really cute! and thanks to the flash, his hair is red in them! 😀
after my mom and al and mickey’s visit, things were sure quiet around here. it got a little more lively with the arrival of several items for arthur. his big boy carseat came! and it’s super cute! he totally looks like a king sitting on a cow-print throne, it’s so big! and his highchair came, too! no more messy episodes involving the couch and the bumbo chair and copious amounts of peas! (it also came with an orange cover, not pictured, which i love) i’ll post pics of arthur in both soon (the camera is charging in ‘time out’ after hiding from me).
oh! i also wanted to mention a super awesome totally cool service we signed up for! MILK DELIVERY!!! 😀 how cool is that? it’s from the longmont dairy so it’s local (almost always better than big-organic) and hormone-free! it comes every tuesday in glass bottles which the milk man puts in a cooler on our front porch. they even deliver a bottle of orange juice for eric. 🙂 and it’s about the same price of buying it in the store, but i’m supporting a local business, the milk is totally fresh, there’s less carbon spent in getting it to me, and it’s so cute!
and let me make a quick side-note….i’m currently reading ‘the omnivore’s dilemma‘ and let-me-tell-you….YOU HAVE TO READ IT! i’m serious. it will rock your world. i’ll post more about it later. 😀
now time for pictures!
here’s arthur in the most adorable outfit his great grandma nereida brought him from puerto rico…a mini guayabera!
this last saturday eric’s work had a picnic in a park next to their office. we arrived a little early so we chilled in the office, playing ping pong. and it was the perfect opportunity to take a picture of arthur ‘helping’ eric at his desk.
this morning i took a few pictures of arthur outside…i wish i had put him in the sun..they’re a little dark, but he’s still cute!
the supermodel demanding more cuddles
is that a sexy retro space girl on his shirt? why yes it is!
he can sit like this for about a minute at a time now! 😀
side note: aren’t his new babylegs legwarmers the absolute cutest thing EVER?! i NEED MORE! they’re perfect with onsesies, which is what he wears most of the time.
and we want to give a HUGE congratulations to eric’s cousin, ryan, and his wife kristine! they just had a super adorable baby boy! 😀 more cousins for arthur!!!!! hip hip hooray!
