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 [...]
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 [...]
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.

owen has been going stir crazy (me too) with summer break from preschool. i finally found some classes that the boys could do together but independently (you wouldn’t think this would be a hard thing to find, but it was) GYMNASTICS at the american gymnastics club! they love it and so do i. owen is in a [...]
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 [...]
