Fun with Great Uncle Bob and Cindy

Steve left Alyse and I for the weekend and went to Seattle for Kyle Mosley's wedding. Alyse and I had lots of fun. On Friday and Saturday I got all my chores done so Sunday we could play and visit. We went to see Bob and Cindy in Medford. Alyse loved it. We then went to see Ray, Donna and Michelle. Alyse got to play on the swing set and go down the slight. She had a great time.

What's new with Alyse? She will be one in a couple of weeks. We are having a birthday party for her this coming weekend since we will be in Yakima for Eleni's wedding on her birthday. Nothing big, just a little get together of family and friends.

She is crawling everywhere and stands up--she pushes our stools across the kitchen floor and thinks that is great fun. She has good balance and I think will be walking soon. Im not pushing it though, its fine with me if she crawls a while longer.

Day Care is going well. She seems to be enjoying it. She is happy when we pick her up and that is all that matters.

We left her for a whole week a couple of weeks ago while Steve and I got a little vacation. It was wonderful but we missed her. She spent the week with her Grandparents in Yakima. Auntie Eleni, Auntie Effie, Auntie Erin, Uncle Matt, and little "L" were there to help too. Sounds like they had great fun. We are so thankful to them for taking her and giving her lots of love.

What else? Not much more that I can think of. She learns more and more everyday and is talking up a storm, not that we can make most of it out........most of the time. She has wonderful laugh and can't seem to wipe the smile off her face...although last week when we had her one year pictures done..she seemed to forget how to smile.
