Snapshot #1045: "Cold Feet"


March 21, 2014.  San Jose, California.  Hazel's morning ritual involves standing with her back to the garage door and waving while her daddy drives away to work and then turning and running back to the house saying, "Cold feet, cold feet, cold feet."

Exploring California: Snapshot #1044: Filoli Gardens







March 20, 2014.  Woodside, California.  The Filoli Estate was breathtaking all in bloom.  But next time remind me to leave my two-year-old at home.  I don't think I could have said, "Gentle," "Don't Touch, Just Smell," "We're not allowed on the grass," or "Don't step off the sidewalk" one more time.

Snapshot #1043: Massaging Kale


March 19, 2014.  San Jose, California.  My Relief Society Committee hosted an exceptional dinner last night serving nearly 70 women.  We made the most delicious kale salad.  It was so good that Hazel and I are making it again for dinner tonight.  Hazel is learning how to massage the kale with a touch of olive oil; this softens the kale and brings out it's natural flavor.  Add lemon juice, honey, chopped apples, sesame seeds, salt & pepper, and voila!

Snapshot #1042: Our Gym Tot





March 18, 2014.  Sunnyvale, California.  I thought going to gymnastics just once a week wouldn't be enough to make a real impact.  Boy, was I wrong.  Our little gym tot does two-foot hops all over the house now and everywhere she goes.

Snapshot #1040: Shirttail Giggles


March 12, 2014.  San Jose, California.  She thought it was the FUNNIEST thing to walk around behind Daddy holding the shirttails of his tan Boy Scout Uniform.  Her laughter is music to my soul.

Snapshot #1039: Where's Waldo...I Mean, Hazel


March 11, 2014.  San Jose, California.  I swear there's a little girl asleep in there somewhere.

Snapshot #1037: Grandparents


March 7, 2014.  San Jose, California.  I stepped outside and Hazel was gibber-gabbering away talking to her grandparents on her play phone.

Snapshot #1036: Art & Science for Two-Year Olds






March 6, 2014.  San Jose, California.  Another trip back to the Children's Discovery Museum.  Face painting may have been the highlight this time; she giggled and giggled while painting her own.  The salad-spinner art was pretty cool also.  Too bad I forgot to go back and pick up her artwork once it was dry :(

Snapshot #1035: Gym Tots




March 4, 2014.  Sunnyvale, California.  Our little Hazel started a gymnastics class today and LOVED it!  She picks things up so fast.

Snapshot #1033: Bay Cruise








March 1, 2014.  San Francisco, California.  We took a car, then a train, then a bus, then a ferry, then a trolley, and finally a train again--and wore the little girl out.
