Catching up

So much has happened over the last month. Here're some photos to catch us up.

Three!

Goodness. We never could have imagined how amazing these last three years have been. Rosie has grown into a caring, hilarious, sassy, artistic, bouncy, cuddly, book-loving, adventurous, and imaginative little person. Rosie, thank you for being who you are and for making us better people! We love you. Mama and DaddyO




A little about the birthday day:

Morning treat: a preview to her birthday snack for her class:

Rainbow sticks!



Ba brought her to school where her classmates sung her Happy Birthday:

Rosie came home to a lovely surprise from dear family in Maryland. More Balloons Please and some adventure balloons! After reading the book we immediately went on an adventure to the moon:

Later that evening we went to Sweet Tomatoes (Rosie's choice) and met family there for a birthday dinner. Forgot to take a picture (booo). But then we came back to the house where Rosie got to open some presents. Rosie got to take her gifts around for a spin:

Breakfast

Rosie made butter in school today, which prompted this conversation:

Me: how should we use your butter? How about breakfast for dinner?!
Rosie: Yeah yeah! French toast with bacon and sausage top!
[pause]
Rosie: I know! Lets have dessert for dinner! Good idea?!! Yeah? Yeah?!

Tricky little lady.

Rocking out

Exploratorium

After tending to some needs this morning, Rosie fell asleep earlier than expected so we decided to make an impromptu trip to San Francisco! Which included:
- stop by the San Francisco Children's Book Project where DaddyO picked up almost 70 free books for school,
- lunch at Turtle Tower (fresh pho noodles...extra slurpy!),
- then to the Exploratorium. Rosie thoroughly enjoyed bouncing from exhibit to exhibit. We've got a membership so if you're reading this, you should come join us.
