Photo a Day: Days 56- 60

Some more photos of the day! Can't believe it's already been 60 days. I was nervous about doing this project, but am actually enjoying it so much. Even my husband is into it and is either reminding me to take a picture, suggesting a good shot or even taking some himself!

3.31.12 (Day 57)We went to Fresno for the weekend to celebrate some birthdays. Here's Lucy hanging out at the hotel with her cousin Nico.

4.3.12 (Day 60)- Lucy is reading Theo his favorite book, Look, Look! She has really taken off with her reading the last month or so and is excited to try decoding much more challenging words!

Photo a Day- Day5

So, I'm enjoying the 366 project so far, although I've only been doing it 5 days. We'll see how it goes as the weeks go by. I'm still trying to figure out the best place online to store the photos. I want somewhere to upload them where I can add captions and make them into a book after a year. Any ideas?

Today Lucy and Theodore's sunglasses arrived in the mail. Every time we go walking I realize I need to get them some. Lucy loves hers (of course- she's into any and every accessory). Theo wasn't too happy. Once he realized they were supposed to stay on his face, he started pulling them off and crying. I got a bunch of shots, but this was my favorite- Lucy trying to help Theo get his glasses back on. It makes me smile every time I see them interact. Now that Theo is getting older, he's learned ways to get Lucy's attention and loves grabbing her and laughing and making her laugh. I feel so happy they have each other and hope they keep a special bond the rest of their lives.

A Trip to the Local Farm

It was a beautiful day so we decided to head to the Earthbound Organic Farm near us in Carmel Valley. I always drive by it taking Lucy to preschool and never think to stop- always in too much of a hurry. A few weeks ago Lucy was invited to a birthday party there (which was put together amazingly by this place) and I thought we need to come here often. It's a fabulous place to live so close to! And so today was the day!

We started off with a fabulous lunch. We ordered some lentil soup, panini (can't even remember what kind- just that it was good!), salad and finished with some raspberry and honey frozen yogurt. All the food is organic and sooooo delicious!

 Lucy really wanted to check out the pumpkins. I told her we'd come back and get our Halloween pumpkins, but for now, she could choose some little ones to decorate our nature table.

Then we took off to do some exploring. First stop was for sure going to be the raspberry patch! The have three different kinds growing that you just pick and eat as you walk down. They're full of butterflies and bees- gorgeous!

Some cute, little three year old hands picking a goldenberry. These were so sweet and irresistible! We couldn't stop searching for more!

They also have an herb garden where you can even snip your own!

And off we go into the kids' garden. They have planters for each letter of the alphabet. Lucy had a blast! By this time, we were very hot and tired. Not pictured is my husband lugging around the 3 month old, which I threatened that he better not let a ray of sun touch that poor white skin.






We finished off the trip in the market to buy some produce to enjoy at home and some local honey to give as a gift. Tomorrow we're off to our old stomping grounds- Fresno.
