The Eating Machine!!

Sally and her health (update)

She is good by the way! She is an eating machine!! I really can hardly believe that this same girl that would barely take her bottle is now chugging her soy formula and eating everything I put in her mouth. She (seriously) always cries when we eat in front of her... we have to be mindful of sharing and Mary is learning what NOT to share (peanut butter, cows milk, etc.)

Not sure how much she weighs - I will know more at her 9 month check up. She is still relatively skinny and long, but again she seriously loves to eat these days.

:)

How are the girls doing in San Diego???

The girls are doing very well!

We are all unpacked and starting to get out more to explore around town.

Tuesday we became members at the Quail Botanical Gardens up in Encinitas. http://www.qbgardens.org/events/just_for_kids.shtml

They have a lot of fun activities for Mary on Tuesdays and Wednesdays. Yesterday she planted a succulent and played with some new kids in the garden. Sally really enjoyed being out and watching all the other kids and even met a little boy that was holding her hand.

Today (Wed) we became members of the Scripps La Jolla Birch Aquarium.

Mary got to see a Giant Octopus, tons of Jelly fish, sea horse, etc. There is a great shark tank there and some various activities for toddlers and preschoolers to check out. She did not want anything to do with the "OK to touch" tide pool. I think it was a little scary to her to touch a slimy fish. Sally was practically jumping out of her stroller and making happy squeaky noises the whole time.

Tomorrow we are going to La Jolla to a new park with some friends that are just about the same ages as the twolittlethomases.

It is supposed to warm up a bit this weekend so we will take Mary to the ocean and have her collect shells and explore around a bit.

Our plans for the rest of the summer consist of obtaining a Zoo pass so that we can do that a couple times a week and maybe even looking into some swim lessons. I have already looked at preschools for the Fall and that does not start until September. Until then we are going to stay busy so that Mary does not get bored!!!

Sweet Lincoln's mullet- we're back in ... SAN - Dee - Ah-go

Hannah will be 4 this summer and Claire just turned 2 - she is also known as Bear-Bear.
These are the cutest little girls that are always so sweet and lovely to be around.

Mary and her boyfriend Pablo

Yes - she is his sweetheart. That is what he calls her. If he wants to be with her he will need to move to San Diego... but only AFTER college and AFTER he gets a good paying job... and AFTER he asks for our permission will it be considered. ha, ha.

Our last day in the bay

Our last day in the bay will be the 28th!

I am flying out that night with the girls and Jason is driving down with Clifford.

Our stuff will arrive on Wed. and then Jason starts his job on Thursday the 1st.

We are moving back to San Diego!

This weekend the 2littlethomases will be traveling to So. Cal to stay with their Grandparents while Jason and I head on down to San Diego to check out the rentals. We are not looking to buy just yet.

Jason starts his job on May 1st and we are sad to leave our Clayton friends, but really happy to get back to San Diego. REALLY REALLY HAPPY!! Hooray for the beautiful beaches and nice sunny/warm weather!

More details to follow of when our last day is here in the Bay Area.

Family comes to Clayton for a visit!

The Rowe girls came to visit the Thomas girls!

You TUBE Video - From SF Zoo

Well - we all heard about those BAD kids that taunted the Tigers and .... we know what happened there. Lets see what happens when GOOD kids taunt a peacock at that very same zoo.

How are we doing?

We have all been sick for weeks now, but Mama Bear is finally better and back to running the show. Sally is hanging on to her cold and Mary just has a little runny nose, but all is well. Jason is semi-sick but proclaims that AIRBORNE (which is a documented scam) is sort of helping him.

Because we were all so ill on Easter we are doing our Easter Dinner and Egg Hunt this Sunday and will post the photos thereafter.

Sally is no longer on Neocate and has switched over to Soy formula now. So far so good, but I will take a diaper in to the Ped. to have it checked out in another week.
