Bright Spots

Given the weight of our post about Soma, you may be thinking that it's all tears in our house these days. Not so. In fact, we've had some really light hearted moments that are bright spots and remind us to appreciate every minute with each other.

Arlo playing with his good friend, Wyatt. 

Arlo enjoying secondsies with Papa.

Arlo always has at least two breakfasts, and, yes, we are saving so we can cover the dramatic increase in our grocery bill in a few years.

Easter egg hunting at Wyatt's house.

Spring is here!

 Sunday morning hike at Discovery Park. 

My apologies to Ryan for cutting off his head in the photo. I need to work on my photography skills!

The home improvement projects also go on. We're finishing up the last bits of finishing our basement. We put a new floor in our basement 1/2 bath and utility room. White penny tile with gray grout. Love it! Finished project photos will be coming soon! 

Before -- painted concrete foundation with a board over a bill hole in the floor. 

After -- white penny tile with gray grout in keeping with the vintage feel of our house.

 

 Same area as the "before" photograph. 

We also have some fun videos this month. The first is my favorite video ever of Ryan and Arlo after they put up the hammock for the season. They are looking at our camellia tree, which is in full bloom and covered in honey bees.

The second video is a guide on getting a toddler to sleep at night. This technique works for us and we hope it works for you!

(Disclaimer - we forgot to mention the step where we put Arlo's diaper and pajamas on. He does not sleep commando as our video suggests!)
