Holiday weekend

First of all, I want to highlight a great article on cloth diapers my friend Sophia wrote on her all-things-health blog, www.healthtakenseriously.com. You can read it by clicking here.
She has lots of other really interesting articles on her site, so it's worth a look even if you don't have kids diapering age.

We had a great four-day weekend off together, and we are trying to extend it in a way, in that I'm picking Stace up from work at his getting-off time of 3:45 so we can do something fun.
These photos are from our Saturday trip to Knott's Berry Farm, a theme park not far from Disneyland. My dad, as a deputy, had the ability to get super-cheap tickets as a "thank you" to law enforcement, so we all went along with our friends John and Linda and their girls. With so many willing babysitters around, Stace and I got to go on a couple of rides, which was fun. During one of the rides, Linda managed to put Cora to sleep by singing to her. Very impressive work, Linda! Much to my amazement, Cora stayed asleep for a full nap, despite all the noise.
In typical SoCal November weather, it warmed up in the day to a warm enough temp for Cora to be dressed in just a onesie, but then cooled off to the extent that I wished I had stuffed my jacket into the stroller.
On Sunday Stace installed some of our new babyproofing gadgets, such as these cabinet locks that use magnets. Very high-tech.
