It's May already and lots has happened since our last post. Gloria has gone from walking to speed walking- she is so fast! Turn your back for a second and she's swishing around in a toilet! Lots of new words, her current list includes: mama, dada, sis, cheese, hop, up, off, more, balloon, ball, dog, nanni, and egg. More every day! Right now she is obsessed with dogs, inspired by some friendly encounters with our neighbor's dog Lucy.
We took a family trip to Suncadia in Cle Elum for spring break with Nanni and Poppi. The girls had a blast sharing a room and sleeping on bunk beds. We borrowed a bike trailer from a friend and loaded them up for a ride. Smores, swimming, elk sightings, lots of fun.
We hosted an Easter egg hunt. We had a fun field trip to Carkeek with C's class. And Matt went to Jazz fest in New Orleans for 5 days- a long time to be solo mama! Nanni and Poppi had a sleepover at our house one of the nights which was a huge help. And the next weekend C, Nanni and I finally went on our rescheduled big girls trip to San Francisco! We rode the cable car to Ghiardelli Square, saw sea lions off the wharf, went to the Botanical gardens in Golden Gate Park with some friends, and even made it to see Matisse at SFMOMA.
