Saturday's are our favorite day. We get to have Conor home all day long. Sometimes we go out and see new things and sometimes we play at home all day long and be lazy and take things slow. I'm not sure which type of Saturday I prefer - they're both awesome! Here's some photos of our most recent lazy Saturday. The girls loved it when we played parachute with our sheets.










This is Conor and my 6th Christmas together as a family. And this is the first Christmas that we'll have coordinating stockings. Very exciting. Of all the Christmas things I slashed, I kept stockings as a must. I knew I could finish Holly and Greta's stockings, but I wasn't sure if I'd be able to whip out Conor's and mine. But, I finished Conor's today, so that's three down, one to go! Yay! I keep reminding myself that last year was different because I only had one child and because I was pregnant. I can move mountains when I'm pregnant. It's incredible.

On my Mom's last day here, we took off for the Farmers' Market in SF, followed by a little trip to Half Moon Bay. I love Half Moon Bay! It was the perfect way to end a great visit. Mom rocked Greta to sleep while Conor played with Holly and I soaked it all in, my family and the sunshine. It was a really happy day.





How appropriate. We visited the Muir Woods Redwoods. We tried to go once before, but we got a late start on a Saturday and there was no where to park. I'm so glad we went with my Mom. It was beautiful and very child and stroller friendly (super important to us these days). I couldn't help but feel in awe. What a beautiful and magestic world God has created. I feel so fortunate to live in a place that's extra beautiful in my opinion. (Note: where I live exactly is not so pretty, but I live near so many grand places!)
