it was a big deal

My dear friend Ashley turned 30 last week so we celebrated with yummy Leatherby's ice cream.  Congrats dearest Ashely and thank you for inviting us for your big day.  I do love ice cream.  And I think Myer fell in love with your Owen.  Cheers to a great birthday!

and just like that

We're back to spring like winter never happened.

Myer picked up right where he left off--with the red car.

Remember the red car?  

The one he pushed around, never rode in?

As soon as it was warm, 

he found that thing and started on his usual route.

His memory is amazing.

And I must say,

spring picked up right where it left off too.

It was so warm last week, the snow melted so quickly, 

and I never even felt a chill in the air.

I like this quick memory recall.

It's good for my health.

the chronicles of myer and daisy

Who doesn't love a little belly rub and some sunshine? 

Myer sure knows how to treat his best friend. 

When it was time for Myer's nap, Daisy went with us.  

M read her a book and then wrapped his arm around me and her 

while we sang our goodnight song.  

He says her name like a guy for the 50's era in the middle of song,

"Daaayyzzeh"

and he'll say it over and over and over again until we find her.

We had a picnic with her last week

and she just curled up next to Myer while he ate his lunch.

M did try to feed her some apples but like a good dog,

she declined.

Best friends.

For eveh.

jeepin in the hills

The weather's been nothing but gorgeous the past few days we so took to the outdoors.  Luckily we live in the most beautiful place with things to do just right up the street, so we went jeeping at Lambert Park.  

It was muddy and wet from all the melting snow, but that just makes for fun, right?  This is Myer's favorite thing to do--jeeping.  He squeals and laughs with each bump that it is undeniable he is a Morse.  We couldn't get this kid out of the jeep when we were done.  I think Jake's pretty proud.

how to be 2

With Myer's second birthday coming up, nothing has consumed my thoughts more.  I can't just let go of the idea that he's growing up.  He's becoming a little person and he has perfected the life of a 2 year old.  Just like this clip.  Enjoy and happy weekend!

we got our tango on

Friday night we ate at El Mexiquense, an authentic mexican restaurant.  And I mean really.  Just the small tortillas, meat, and cabbage.  It's Jake's favorite.  As we pulled up the restaurant, we told Myer we were eating Mexican and he yells, "Navy!" (His cousin that lives in New Mexico).  What a smart kid.

We ate yummy food and danced along to the latin music.  Myer was totally into it.  Another tid bit for you--I used to dance in this very space.  My old dance studio, Dance Extreme, used to be here.  Now it's our favorite mexican place.  How odd, but great for the memories. 

it was warm

And we stayed outside.  All.day.  We rode our bikes to the park, swung on the swings, rode around the park, and then finished the day on Mimi's driveway.  Actually, we finished the day with a BBQ.  It was the perfect faux summer day.  I know it's only the first week of March and we probably have another 4 weeks of winter, but it was a good surprise to last me another month.  A booster.

Or spring could just come sooner.  I know that Myer and Jake wouldn't mind that at all being cooped up in the cottage for the past 3 months.  So spring could you come sooner for the sanity of my two boys?  Please?
