Four times a year, thank you SP!

The event that I look forward to as much as payday-the Southpark walkabout- free food and booze, live music, open house at every shop, a nice stroll through SP, we love it all! Here are a few pictures of Vale eating all our food while we posed :)


My parents came out to enjoy the evening with us but having brought Big C and little I along, who fell asleep on the ride up, and waking up sleeping kids is completely out of the question, they just pulled over for a sec for my mom to run over and cuddle Vale before they headed back home. It sounds funny now that I'm typing it out, seriously parents, you drove up, the kids fell asleep so you drove back home- but as a new mom, I'm gonna confess that I've sat in my parked car w/ a sleeping Vale at henry's, vons, the rack, you name it, we found the shade and Vale took her up to 2 hour nap in peace while her mom relaxed and surfed the net or read a book in silence.

the long day dreamed about huge brownie plate-half gone!

she loves walking about as long as she can have a walker--she's not a huge shoe fan but these robeez she doesn't mind, the soft leather makes for easy strolling-her grandmama just got her a girlee pair that is still a tiny bit too big, but soon, real soon.

And at 8:30ish sharpish, she fell asleep...so we stayed for another hour or so and ate pizza, enjoying ourselves- just the two of us.
