Yesterday we went to Halloween party for babies which was just down the street from our house. We walked because it was so close, but it was pouring rain, luckily we have big umbrellas. Alex, who was in his bear costume, fell asleep on the way there. It with a group of moms that Julie goes out to lunch with on Wednesdays. It was a lot of fun, and it was great for me to meet everyone.
We went camping with a bunch of family at Thousand Trails Ponderosa on the South Fork of the American River. It was a lot of fun. Alex got to put his feet in the freezing cold waters of the American River.
A friend of my Dad’s is a Perennial Vacation Club member, and they had a week in a condo at Tahoe Village, Nevada and they didn’t want to lose it, so they gave it to my Dad. We went up to South Lake Tahoe on Saturday to stay with them for the weekend. We went to the Round Hill Pines Beach when we arrived, Alex put his feet in the waters of Lake Tahoe and Julie went for a swim. Getting to the condo takes your breath away, literally by the time you’ve climbed 53 steps from the parking lot to the 1st floor while carrying all of your luggage you almost have to stop and take a break. On Sunday we went to Glen Alpine Falls near Fallen Leaf Lake, it was gorgeous. Unfortunately I have to work, so we had to come home. My Dad is up there for the rest of the week, more of the family plans on coming to visit during the week.
We went camping at Morgan Hill Thousand Trails this weekend, it was Alex’s first camping trip! He was fine the first night. The second night he may have been too cold, he woke up in the middle of the night and it took us two hours to get him back to sleep. On Saturday we went to the beach, it was a lot of fun, I got to fly my new kite, and we ate at Duarte’s Tavern and Restaurant in Pescadero.
We’re home! We came home yesterday evening and had an enjoyable sleepless night last night. Alex loves to feed. We’re having a great time getting to bond with him. No visitors please. If you would like to bring some food or help with some chores, let us know! You’re welcome to do that, as long as you are healthy.
Happy Birthday! Our baby was born on Monday April 14th at 3:54 PM. It weighed in at 8 pounds 8 ounces and was 20 inches in length. His name is Alexander.
