Our First Month in Olympia

Hello Everyone!
Well, it's been a month since our move down here to Olympia and we are finally all settled in and feeling at home. Things are going well! I have been enjoying exploring our new neighborhood on my walks with the kids and really enjoying Alex getting home between five and six most evenings! Since I always take way to many pictures I figured I would share a few with all of you! :) 

  • James turned 3 months old!



 


  • We live right by a fire station so we get firetrucks and ambulances driving by all day. Lucy is a huge fan and every time she hears a siren she eagerly runs to our window and screams "Fi'e tuck! Fi'e tuck!''  






















  • Poor little James at the E.R. He had to have several blood draws, a catheter, x-rays, and multiple temperature takings. He was not a fan and screamed for most of it. I took this picture after everything was done and he was exhausted. It was definitely one of the hardest things I have ever had to deal with as a parent and I can't describe the relief I felt when it was all over and we were discharged. 




  • Exploring Downtown Olympia's waterfront park.




















  • We had such a fun time at the Olympia Children's Museum! The last Friday of every month is free admission and it is huge so I think we will be going there alot!



  • We have been making lots of trips to the two parks that are near our place. Lucy loves going on  the swings and recently has been insisting on using the big girl swing.   





  • Lucy has started helping me out a little more around the house, here she is putting the clean silverware away. 


   
















  • She is a very busy little girl and I am always trying to think of new ways to keep her entertained. Coloring is always popular. As is any water play. 





Well, I hope you have enjoyed all of the pictures and the quick update, I will try to post as often as I can so make sure you check back now and then! James wishes you all a good rest of your day!

  4. I'm so glad to see this is up! Your family is looking great! James is getting so big, and Lucy looks like she's lots of fun. I love the picture of Alex and Lucy...lucky girl to have a good dad! The waterfront park in Olympia is really pretty (I've been there years ago). I hope you keep posting, as I will definitely check back to see what you are up to.
