Gualby Nation : Too many pictures

Too many fantastic pictures to just let disappear when my phone inevitably gets destroyed. I had to post them, even if they're 6 months old.

I mean this one:

Come on.

Or this cutie:

Back in November/December we had no electricity so we carried our water up to the house for dishes, drinking, bathing, toilet flushing, etc.

Perhaps if we have enough beer they won't notice that we don't have electricity. . .

These boys were the most wonderful and FUN visitors ever.

Mid November we started seeing "angry baby face" which is one of my favorite baby milestones. It cracks me up.

"What? What's so funny Mom?" Why so many photos of my concentration face???"

Those thighs! Those dimples!

Because Woody is such a good "sharer" Tohi has already had sips of juice from Woody's juice boxes and she LOVES it. She gets all excited when she sees Woody with a juice box, yelling at him and trying to grab the box. He is always so sweet and gives her as many sips as she wants. The girl has figured out how to chug through a straw real quick.

the house has no furniture besides our air mattresses.
Just two guys relaxing on the "couch"

Figuring out the best spots to start our garden

Tohi is still an extremely challenging sleeper but when she does finally go to sleep she looks so adorable I can almost forget that it took me two hours of bum patting to get her this way.

Fort Building can be exhausting

When you don't sleep all night, sometimes mornings can be a little rough

Being safely contained in a completely un-child proofed house has never looked so FUN!

Electricity feels good, girl.

Woody loves to help when I'm using the pressure washer. I get it. It's awesome.

Our sweet little Christmas lights

Right before Christmas Tohi and I made a girl trip to David to shop in stores with all the plastic magical crap we could find

Just two girlfriends giggling in our hotel room

Tohi was a hit in David. She's so blond and chubby, the ladies just LOVE her. This picture is a rare moment where a random latina lady has not scooped her up the moment I put her down. In the stores, sometimes the workers would come over and ask to hold her while I shopped.

Conor caught Tohi waving at her new friend. . .

Some air shots with the pressure washer.

Trying out the new steps

Woody asked if we could put Tohi's hair up

She is just SO sad over Dad's broken board

We have electricity but a piece of the dryer needs to be changed and the piece we ordered from the USA to fix the dryer is for USA dryers only not dryers made in Mexico that live in Panama. So, we've ordered the more international part. This is pretty standard operation on how anything gets done here. Slow. Very f'ing slow.
