my head is spinning!

why do i feel like i’m deciding owen’s entire future right now!  next month we’ll start touring kindergarten schools, public and private.  i’ve been reading up on all the different options and my head is spinning, i can’t sleep and i’ve got a crook in my neck so bad i can’t look over my left [...]

we are back!

got back a few days ago from our 2 week trip to washington to see nana and gram-pa.  the boys had so much fun exploring around the house and being on the boat.  highlights from the trip: big fat banana slugs! two county fairs: pony rides, bounce houses, lots of ice cream, big cows and [...]

they are their father’s sons

i got them Leapster Explorer’s for our plane trip tomorrow to seattle. hopefully it doesn’t lose it’s excitement before then.  but i see them like this and it just reminds me so much of john.  don’t even bother talking to them, they won’t hear you.

sonoma train town

we took dylan to sonoma train town for his actual birthday. their fantastic babysitter, michelle (in pink behind them) came with us.  with dylan’s new diaper free independence i was a little scared to do the trip by myself.  i wasn’t sure if we’d have to dash off and leave owen standing there, but dylan [...]
