Tea and relaxation

It's been a great weekend so far, cooled down to something more bearable, James has not really had to work as well which is nice given the week he had and has been able to regain a little sanity. I'm able to now enjoy a lovely pot of tea in the china and hoping that when the girls are older they will gain my love of tea so we can have a party:)

Granny and Granddad Apple will show up in 5 weeks, looking forward to their company! Will have to make sure we do some things while the weather is nice. I'm thinking a trip to the zoo again, hmm maybe down the coast if it's not too cold and maybe to see the redwoods. There are a ton of places to explore around here and I know I haven't even touched the surface of them.

I'm also planning our first trip to the library on Monday for story time, lets see how the girls behave at least someone else will be reading and I can hopefully keep them under control, wish us all luck.

Abigail is doing fabulously and taking steps every day which is nice to see. Ah the sheer pleasure of sitting enjoying the peace and quiet in our home is wonderful. Oh I'm sure the novelty will wear off eventually but still it will be our home really...we an decorate and paint it the way we like, eventually...for now well we make do and mend and there are plenty of projects to keep us busy. Ah but but but it's quiet and peaceful right now. Ok I admit there is noise from the school during the week and more traffic but weekends oh the bliss. I also enjoy driving around here and seeing the lovely hills and mountains it's it's home. Not sure why I'm so happy here but I am, gosh I'm even thinking about the wine festival next year and taking a pleasant walk around downtown Livermore.
