5/365 Cleaning up, then date night

Today (Saturday) we took down the Christmas tree and put most of the Christmas decorations away. It's always sad for me when we have to put Christmas away.

But we had such a great Christmas this year and got to do all the wonderful Christmas things that we haven't been able to do in the past 3 years because we were in China. The best part was being able to spend it with family.

After we got the tree all put away William took me to the store for a little mini date and cheered me up by taking me to the Christmas sale isle. Then we spent some time reading the Valentine's Day cards.

I'm looking forward to Valentine's Day now and I think I'll even try to decorate for it a little. Plus reading funny cards always cheers me up.

Baby Bonita got to stay home with her Nana and take a long bath. Baby loves it when Nana gives her a bath because she gets to take as long as she wants and Nana lets her splash all she wants.

After we got home from the store Baby was in a really good laughing mood. Here's a picture of her playing under her blanket with her Daddy.

Doesn't she have the most perfect smile?!

Formula for a nap

A bath, a massage, a warm snack, a cuddle and a song... sleep.
Peaceful and lovely

Bath Time

We all have to get used to things. Especially new things. When Bonnie Rose was just a couple weeks old she had her first in water bath. (for pictures of her very first towel bath see my mom's blog)

At first she wasn't sure what to think, but then she got used to it. Actually I think her Mommy and Daddy had to get more used to it more than she did. She was so small!


It's a little work to give her a bath. We have to warm up the living room. Set up her tub on the table. Arrange a pile of warm towels for her. Argue about the water temperature. And pick out a new outfit. THEN we get to gently put her in the water and hope she doesn't complain about the temperature.

Well as you can see by this picture she loves her bath time. And so do I.

I think we are all getting better at it and Bonnie Rose loves her naked time. Yup. She lives up to her name sake ... and her mother.
