Happy 4th of July!

It is so fun to have my mom here visiting us this week. We have spent days shopping for baby things (We are now registered at Babies R Us, by the way). Hank and I desperately needed her help. We've also had fun showing her around Monterey.

This morning we lined up on the street to watch the 4th of July parade. It's cold here in Monterey so we covered up with this beautiful blanket that my Aunt Deanna made for us. Then we all got out our knitting and started practicing. We had so many strangers come up and want to take pictures of us. Even photographers from a couple local newspapers! It was so funny! I think they might have thought we were actually working on the blanket. Either way we looked pretty patriotic and we had a great time.

I am finally blogging about our big trip to Hawaii last month. It was our 3rd anniversary and our dear friends, the Barnums, said we could come visit them anytime we wanted....so we did! Here are a lot of pictures, in no particular order: On the actual day of our anniversary, April 19th, Hank and I left the baby with a sitter and hit the town by ourselves. Since I wasn't a fan of the whole snorkling thing, we took a submarine ride to get a good view of the sea life. Yes, that is a real sea turtle in the real ocean, 100 ft underwater. I snapped this picture out my window. The view of Waikiki from our sub before we went under. The flag at the USS Arizona Memorial at Pearl Harbor. It has been raised to half mast everyday since the memorial was erected. Hank helping raise the flag first thing in the morning. "Give me gum gum, dumb dumb." Us and the Barnums at the Temple.

So Sleepy . . .

So, we may be terrible parents, but we thought this was so funny. Jessica wouldn't take an afternoon nap today and by dinnertime she was exhausted. She was so tired that she couldn't even chew her food. The best part was that Hank could not stop laughing at her and it was keeping her awake. This video was much longer, but I cut it down...because watching a baby fall asleep may not be as interesting to you as it was to us.
