Roadtrip +

We went and stayed with some friends in Corvallis last weekend. Ila had never met Kiara and Sofia, but they were instant friends. They were the sweetest girls. They made a salmon dinner together, made "silky hair" in a hairbrushing train, and Ila slept on the top bunk snuggled in with Sofia all night.

We have been going for afternoon jogs and stopping at different parks along the way. Opal loves the swings.

Grandpa and Ila at Standing Stone. I'm pretty sure they were on pins and needles here waiting for the punchline of one of Gus or Vinny's jokes. Let me guess..."forks and knives, forks and knives."

We started feeding Opal some solid food this week. So far she has had rice cereal and acorn squash. She seems to like it, however she is always more interested in what her big sis is doing.

We woke up to a very light dusting of snow yesterday and of course Ila went straight out on the deck to build a "snowman". I love that she is a kid that will head outside as soon as she wakes up.

Last but not least, after Ila went to school yesterday I was cleaning and I noticed La-La was at the art table keeping busy. I liked the boosters.
