Milestones

Today was a great day. Together our family found so much joy in both big and little milestones.

Our morning started off with the rains coming in. Suprisingly, it is really refreshing when we have rainy days here at Malibu. The air is more crisp and fresh and we get rainbows that make you want to go hunt for treasure. Sometimes, we even get doubles rainbows. A sight not too be missed!

Trading our sunblock and shovels for rainjackets and boots we set out to get some major puddle jumping in. And that is just what we did. Ryder stayed in the backpack of course, while Maddie let loose and enjoyed a wet adventure. We found a slug she named Hairy and gathered leaves to take home to make an art collage. Our afternoon brownie baking didn't turn out so hot but that didn't change our sweet moments from earlier in the day.

Ryder hit a few milestone's of his own. His first tooth officially cut through this morning. It's on the bottom and he's chomping everything in site. Matt's convinced his first word is "mommy" as he has been saying it ALL day long! Mommy of course likes this. :) At dinner he ate meatloaf, mashed potatoes and cooked carrots like a real man. He's growing up so fast!

We have a few more quiet days before another camp comes in this weekend. If the rains keep up, which it appears they will, we will make Great Grandma's banana bread tomorrow for the interns who are putting in long hours and working hard. Our begonia's need planting and Ciscoe is ready for a walk to check out his surroundings.
