He placed the final pieces this morning and so we took a family car ride up to Ojai to get some pullets (juvenile chickens to the lay person). We ended up bringing home three different breeds but all are supposed to be good laying hens. In about three months we should have an abundance of eggs to share with all of our family and friends.The Hine Familyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13590490255094906863noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7872281560220123700.post-10380026403845071072010-06-05T17:52:00.000-07:002010-06-05T17:58:13.508-07:00Avocado!!!!<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_OBtaYA2NVnE/TAryjpP9MkI/AAAAAAAAAaY/N_JR3_gPxPk/s1600/IMG_1143.JPG"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_OBtaYA2NVnE/TAryjpP9MkI/AAAAAAAAAaY/N_JR3_gPxPk/s400/IMG_1143.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5479458590831751746" border="0" /></a><br />So we started giving Leo a little bit of avocado on Memorial Day. He seems to enjoy it more and more each time we give it to him. A part of me feels a little sad that our guy is growing up so fast, but I know it's super healthy for him. Today we tried banana for the first time and it was not well received. I think maybe I need to ripen the banana a little more before we try again. For now, we'll just stick to the avocado.The Hine Familyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13590490255094906863noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7872281560220123700.post-90613240325351527742010-06-05T17:47:00.000-07:002010-06-05T17:52:20.178-07:00Memorial Day, Beach Day!<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_OBtaYA2NVnE/TArxNkjFZHI/AAAAAAAAAaQ/FLvcaCVVPDE/s1600/IMG_1122.JPG"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_OBtaYA2NVnE/TArxNkjFZHI/AAAAAAAAAaQ/FLvcaCVVPDE/s400/IMG_1122.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5479457112101053554" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_OBtaYA2NVnE/TArxNXrx1pI/AAAAAAAAAaI/O2xcEn3bR10/s1600/IMG_1119.JPG"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 300px; height: 400px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_OBtaYA2NVnE/TArxNXrx1pI/AAAAAAAAAaI/O2xcEn3bR10/s400/IMG_1119.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5479457108647859858" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_OBtaYA2NVnE/TArxMzAderI/AAAAAAAAAaA/BTuAb775nf0/s1600/IMG_1118.JPG"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_OBtaYA2NVnE/TArxMzAderI/AAAAAAAAAaA/BTuAb775nf0/s400/IMG_1118.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5479457098802494130" border="0" /></a><br />We were blessed with the most gorgeous weather over Memorial Day weekend here.

Kim, Lucca, Leo and I had a leisurely lunch on the beach at Shoreline cafe and then when the wind was too much for Leo to handle we hung by the pool at Kim and Neil's hotel and the boys got some sun on those milky white thighs. Later, we got together with the Dad's for dinner out. I think we scared everyone out of the restaurant with our two little guys because everyone left and the six of us had the restaurant to ourselves.The Hine Familyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13590490255094906863noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7872281560220123700.post-74242944121258596282010-06-05T17:31:00.000-07:002010-06-05T17:37:20.235-07:00Picnics<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_OBtaYA2NVnE/TArtd-46i_I/AAAAAAAAAZY/GzfX_0uyxEA/s1600/IMG_1066.JPG"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_OBtaYA2NVnE/TArtd-46i_I/AAAAAAAAAZY/GzfX_0uyxEA/s400/IMG_1066.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5479452996003335154" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_OBtaYA2NVnE/TArtddBeVHI/AAAAAAAAAZQ/cwonQH7Tf2w/s1600/IMG_1065.JPG"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 300px; height: 400px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_OBtaYA2NVnE/TArtddBeVHI/AAAAAAAAAZQ/cwonQH7Tf2w/s400/IMG_1065.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5479452986912429170" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_OBtaYA2NVnE/TArtc_iaFSI/AAAAAAAAAZI/fIl554oJ35Y/s1600/IMG_1055.JPG"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_OBtaYA2NVnE/TArtc_iaFSI/AAAAAAAAAZI/fIl554oJ35Y/s400/IMG_1055.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5479452978997499170" border="0" /></a><br />Once a month Leo and I go and meet Jon for lunch.

He now smiles every time he spots him and reaches out to touch him. Mr. Meowgi doesn't quite return his affection.

It had a very industrious wrap job- a dirt devil dust buster box wrapped in duct tape. These days every package that arrives is for the baby so I just assumed it was for him but to my surprise it was addressed to me. It came from my brother-in-law, Jeff, in Atlanta. Attached was a shockingly sweet card that read, "Happy Mother's Day Summer! Can't wait to see the family in Wisconsin. Leo Couldn't be luckier (nor could Jon). -Jeff". I immediately welled up with tears. Inside the box was this beautiful ceramic bird which instantly became a prized decoration on my dining room table. Jeff couldn't have known how significant this would be on my first Mother's Day because I sometimes call Leo "my little bird." It is so special because it was totally unexpected (if you knew my brother-in-law you would better understand). I love being delightfully surprised by people.<br /><br />Jeff, thank you from the bottom of my heart. This was so meaningful and so touching.

I woke up to the sweet sounds of my baby boy cooing and babbling to himself. We all snuggled in bed for a while and then Jon and Leo gave me a precious homemade card and the very special necklace pictured above. I LOVE IT!!! Then we ventured out to the kitchen where leo gave his first go at the "Johnny Jump Up." Clearly he loves it! My sweet husband made me a scrumptious breakfast of homemade waffles, homemade strawberry syrup and homemade whipped cream. Mmmm mmm. Next we all took a drive up to Ojai to hit up the farmers market and escape the Ventura winds. Then Leo and I took a nice long nap. We followed that up with church and a delicious BBQ dinner. It was the perfect day with my two favorite guys.<br /><br />I've told a few people how surprised I was at the sense of pride I felt on Mother's Day. It is the ultimate honor and blessing to be Leo's mama and Jon's wife- the mother of his child. I held my head so high carrying him around at farmer's market and then walking up to the alter with him in my arms at church for our special blessing.The Hine Familyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13590490255094906863noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7872281560220123700.post-9717303176006606372010-05-14T21:45:00.001-07:002010-05-14T21:48:11.695-07:00Happiness is.........<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_OBtaYA2NVnE/S-4nVX_8BZI/AAAAAAAAAXw/2VbkNBTQG_Y/s1600/IMG_0993.JPG"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 300px; height: 400px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_OBtaYA2NVnE/S-4nVX_8BZI/AAAAAAAAAXw/2VbkNBTQG_Y/s400/IMG_0993.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5471353845474657682" border="0" /></a><br />Sitting on Daddy's lap, gumming my rattle while hearing a story.The Hine Familyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13590490255094906863noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7872281560220123700.post-86090362992599810402010-05-14T16:44:00.000-07:002010-05-14T17:00:36.927-07:00Leo's first visit to Chico<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_OBtaYA2NVnE/S-3jtyEkd5I/AAAAAAAAAXo/pnineUReJRs/s1600/IMG_0985.JPG"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 240px; height: 320px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_OBtaYA2NVnE/S-3jtyEkd5I/AAAAAAAAAXo/pnineUReJRs/s320/IMG_0985.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5471279497999579026" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_OBtaYA2NVnE/S-3jtYLo-KI/AAAAAAAAAXg/XccwPntTOEY/s1600/IMG_0981.JPG"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 240px; height: 320px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_OBtaYA2NVnE/S-3jtYLo-KI/AAAAAAAAAXg/XccwPntTOEY/s320/IMG_0981.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5471279491049912482" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_OBtaYA2NVnE/S-3js9IE-YI/AAAAAAAAAXY/zVtS8D0_qmg/s1600/IMG_0980.JPG"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 240px; height: 320px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_OBtaYA2NVnE/S-3js9IE-YI/AAAAAAAAAXY/zVtS8D0_qmg/s320/IMG_0980.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5471279483787213186" border="0" /></a><br />My parents flew us up to Chico to show Leo off to all of our family and friends.

While he hated the car ride (who could blame him, I wouldn't want to spend 5 hours in a car seat), He was a real charmer the rest of the weekend.The Hine Familyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13590490255094906863noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7872281560220123700.post-79062791381689925182010-02-27T08:20:00.000-08:002010-02-27T08:32:40.911-08:00Leo's friends at the birth center<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_OBtaYA2NVnE/S4lIWAHZ7eI/AAAAAAAAAUQ/WXOxzjDLmMs/s1600-h/IMG_0792.JPG"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_OBtaYA2NVnE/S4lIWAHZ7eI/AAAAAAAAAUQ/WXOxzjDLmMs/s320/IMG_0792.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5442961167479336418" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_OBtaYA2NVnE/S4lIVW0XriI/AAAAAAAAAUI/4qckf4IXpvw/s1600-h/IMG_0791.JPG"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_OBtaYA2NVnE/S4lIVW0XriI/AAAAAAAAAUI/4qckf4IXpvw/s320/IMG_0791.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5442961156393643554" border="0" /></a><br />Last week I had a check-up with my midwife, Karni, at her birthing center, http://www.venturamidwife.com. I wish I could describe the warm and peaceful energy that this place gives off. It feels almost like my home away from home, like a safe haven. Anyhow, here are a two pictures of Leo with the amazing women who helped care for him before he was even born. Karni, has the dark hair and she is literally the mommy and baby whisperer. Laurel is the blonde. She guided my "spiritual" journey through pregnancy and helped me to prepare emotionally for labor and motherhood. I am forever grateful to them for what they have added to our lives. Here's to knowing these incredible women!<br /><br />**not sure why the quality of these pics is so poor :(The Hine Familyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13590490255094906863noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7872281560220123700.post-21362884106542578612010-02-26T21:45:00.000-08:002010-02-26T21:51:19.427-08:00The smile that melts my heart<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_OBtaYA2NVnE/S4iypSkg-wI/AAAAAAAAAUA/YfC0-NnGWK8/s1600-h/IMG_0735.JPG"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 300px; height: 400px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_OBtaYA2NVnE/S4iypSkg-wI/AAAAAAAAAUA/YfC0-NnGWK8/s400/IMG_0735.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5442796572106619650" border="0" /></a><br /><span style="font-family:arial;">Sometimes being a mom is utterly exhausting but with one little smile, my fuel tank is overflowing.....even if I'm running on 5 hours of broken sleep each night.

She custom made our little guy's crib bedding. He currently sleeps with Mommy and Daddy but when he's ready (or should I say when I'm ready) this cozy, dreamy, whimsical bed is where he'll lay his gorgeous head.

I try to do infant massage every day and he absolutely loves it. It's a really neat bonding time for us. Every once in a while he's so dang cute that I have to interrupt the massage and grab the camera for a quick photo.
