Many of you know of Amalea’s eye adventures that started at 2 weeks of age (well birth technically, but we didn’t know until she was 2 weeks). Today Amalea got her first pair of glasses to try and help her use her left eye more. She actually does fairly well with them and hopefully over time will be able to keep them on for longer than just 20-30 minutes at a time.

As soon as Maya gets here we will start posting all of our blog posts at a new location so bookmark the new site and join our family as we continue to grow and adventure!

Going out to Sauvie Island has become one of my favorite things to do with Amalea.  She can run around the huge farm and pick berries (and eat a lot too) and flowers and today we even got to ride a tractor.  She had a blast and so did I.  Oma was along today for our adventure at the farm which was great to have some extra help as I am about ready to pop with baby #2.

Ami’s new friend, Issabella (Isa) is from Peru. She is the daughter of Ricky and Tracie who are missionaries Jim stayed with in Peru last summer.  It was so fun to have them over and watch the girls play together…they had a blast running around screaming and sharing toys.

This morning while I was getting ready Amalea decided to clumb into the basket under Maya’s bassinet.  She thought it was so fun!  I told her she could sleep there and Maya could sleep on top and it would be like early bunk beds…she kept laughing at that and went and got a blanket for Maya and a blanket for herself and then laid down.

Pete is the closest thing we have to a real animal and Amalea loves playing with him.

A lot of people have told me that the Portland Children’s Museum would be a great place to take Amalea, but I was always hesitant because I wasn’t sure that a “museum” was the best place for her.  She is a bit hyper and loves to run and touch and get into things.  Little did I know, but the Portland Children’s Museum is more like a giant indoor playground – and it was exactly what Amalea would love.  We left there with a one year membership for the family because it was so great!
