Jude
Please enjoy a selection of action clips and photos of Jude and his
new tricks and quirks. :)
Already starting to go places. :)
Jude playing peek-a-boo. He instigated this all on his own.
Jude loves getting grandma and her hair.

| Jude has been here! haha Grandma is a good sport to sacrifice her hair for Jude's enjoyment, that hair takes a long time to do, there is a lot of it! |

| He's standing and good at it, even with those little chicken legs! |
Rolling, and rolling, and rolling some more just because we can. :)
- Over the weekend we spent some time exploring the city we
live in. We found an old bookstore that had been there for ages and will likely
smell of books until the end of time (adore that). I fell in love with this old
book entitled “Gnomes”. It included the history of the fantastical species,
their remedies, dwellings, how to spot their trails, and more. The little girl
inside of me wanted to take that book up the mountain and do some Gnome hunting
right away!
- We tried a new restaurant called The Neapolitan. The
atmosphere inside was fantastic and I was being a nerd over how much I loved all of
their light fixtures. It had a re-purposed industrial design. Really cool. Even
the bathroom was beautiful. We sat out on the street and enjoyed the summer day and I ordered a margherita pizza to see how it would
compare with the one I had in the supposed birth place of the pizza, Naples,
Italy. I haven’t had a pizza that came close since that trip and as I had my
first bite I was immediately transported back to that warm, little fresco
painted restaurant with lots of happy, drinking Italians eating yummy pizza.
Success.
- We found a nature area in the middle of the city called
Hidden Hollow. Tree fluff was falling from the sky and covering the ground,
making it look like a snowy summer scene. Jude put his little toes in it.
- It was Grandpa Fender’s 47th birthday this
week. 47!? I guess he has been 43 in my head for the past 4 years because I was
pretty surprised when I was told. Probably still younger and better looking than
99% of my friend’s dads so nobody can complain. ;) My sister made him a sea turtle
birthday cake. Whenever dad swims off of the beaches of Hawaii the sea turtles
show up and float with him. As a result he has developed a bond with them and
it didn’t take more than one of those experiences for them to quickly become
his favorite animal.
- I, like every other normal person, think baby feet and
hands are the sweetest. However, there is one thing that gets my need-to-squeeze-the-baby-hard
really going and that is my child’s bum, or as we call them in our house, his
pompies. So, in effort to always remember just how stinkin' cute those little
pompies are, I created a very nontraditional keepsake that goes beyond the ink
pad foot and hand print, a bum print! Haha It’s safe to say it was an exciting
day in our kitchen but I am sure that it is not the most unusual thing that
will take place there. Haha Here’s to the cutest little booty around!
Because when you can get your photo taken with a giant dog and cat, why not?
Snuggles with our always freezing, even in June, grandma.

| The family dog, Emmett, is a very naughty and artistic doggy. He stole this off the table and left it looking like this, on standing on it's side. haha |
