Just Another Day in Paradise

Here are a bunch of pics that capture our days.  

Several times a day, Cambers comes over and "kisses" our little one.  It's either an a) open mouth slobber, or b) touching her chin on Vienna. Vienna seems to be fine with either.

One of Cambry's  more recent favorite past times is washing her hands in a sink full of bubbles and toys. Just in time for flu season :)

Cambers carrying around her baby.

On our road, the school buses stop about every 100 yards to let kids on and off (is school transportation promoting childhood obesity??).  Apparently at the last stop this car got sick of waiting and tried to drive under the bus.  Haha. it was COMPLETELY wedged under the bus.

Here's our street.  I'm loving all the changing colors.

I can't tell you how many bumps and bruises this child has from trying to walk around in our shoes.  Haha.  She is always making us laugh.

This is the Lake Pine trail that I take the girls to a few times a week for a little run.  It's a 2 mile loop around this gorgeous lake.  In my mind I can still run a marathon at the pace of a 9 minute mile (even though that was pre broken leg and children).  I have to laugh at myself when I'm frustrated that I'm sucking air and can only go around the lake twice at about an 11 minute mile.

I take them right after Cambry wakes up from her nap.  She finishes waking up and eats her snack on board.  Vienna usually sleeps the whole time thankfully.

This week Vienna started smiling a lot.  She's such a cutie.

After discovering that one of the screws fell out of Cambry's crib, Devin tightened it up. It's sad to no longer hear the endearing squeaks of the crib when Cambry is "falling asleep."  Cambry was right there intently watching. After he was done, she took the screw driver from him, and did exactly what Devin just did.  So smart.

Yes Vienna, you're silly smile still makes you the cutest.

I still can't get over that sweet curl Mohawk she's got going on.  

Stretching it out.  She's getting some awesome rolls and chins.  

On an afternoon exploration, we found a bridge where C was completely enthralled. She threw rocks and pine needles into the water for several minutes. Good cheap fun.

The Walmart by our house has been under renovation forever.  We went the other day and apparently it was the grand re-opening.  They had a sweet Hispanic band, big teddy bear mascot, games and prizes. Cambry danced in front of the band for awhile, and I thought I'd get pics on the way out... When we came back out 15 minutes later, it was all gone!  so strange! If Cambry didn't get a sweet balloon bunny, I would've thought I imagined the whole thing.

 This park is so beautifully secluded by all these trees.  

I had no idea I was missing out every autumn.  I have never seen fall colors so vibrant.

  This chap was so fantastic.  He and his friends were hanging out at the park, and he was serinading them with his sweet clarinet.  I kept waiting for one of his friends to say, "Lose the squeaker!" But none of them ever did. So glad 10 year olds have more tact than I do.

We finally got a lattice fence on our balcony.  That gap at the bottom is HUGE!  Poor Cambry never could go out on the balcony without me hovering over her.
