catching up...

we do this a lot. (he eats and i lay down.)

 aka: hello internet, again.

having a baby + no internet really makes a lady feel behind.
a quick super duper blog will take care of that.
and with my new fast (but no longer free) internet the pictures jump up like fire,
so bring them on.
the last two months, in no particular order:

baby leggin's out of thrift store socks? a doy. (that's fancy speak for "duh," and yes, it is annoying.)

teddy brings me "salads" ; mustard greens, kale, and arugula. he's got quite the palette.

it is adventurous to hike. it is even more so to hike with two wee bairns. loch leven, tahoe forest.

you tell me.

big hills wear on all of us.

a river dip trip

what a fat baby! 3 months old.

gearing up for the universe, me and d.

homey love, the paths i wandered, and my dad's immaculately groomed manzanita. manzanita pride, people, it's a grey pine zone thing.

!!!! be still my beating heart. (they fall asleep when i read stories...not really, only link does.)

mackenzie (and jared) let us spend the night...que generosity! she then showed us around sunnyvale, her new town, only to be moving back to berkeley next month! what a whirlwind.

we drove across the nevada to utah. another story, another day. it made for many milk stops.

growing...

growing....!

....asleep. his hands! my land! in baby proportions he is much larger than his parents.

summer solstice, chased the sunset all the way to pacifica. <3

well, it was warm when we left roseville...

teddy, in a deli. we drove through the golden altamont to tour tracy, ty's hometown til he was 18. trips down memory lane are awesome.

teddy's got shark style.

eclipse!!

aww...one year anniversary.

bring it on, universe.

d and baby L, river.

mountain matriarch i have become! my willing and brave posse! sentinel dome.

linky's first trip to yosemite (home again, home again...for me.) i think the casper family has a new may tradition.

teddy is a scrambling lizard, what a great little hiker.

county fair!

the heavenly chow of fresh mex, bff's d and nathan.

grandma, and glacier point.

(can people take away from this place? muir, speak to me! there are signs for every spring, and parking lots! but i can smell the glacier's ghost.)

yosemite falls in a stunning grey gown.

our yearly cactus adoption.

oh, you jokers.

what a schmooze.

the smiths are a great band. and mackenzie has green eyes and loong legs...whoo-ee.

i feel like a few things are missing...lincoln was blessed (religious stuff), the lady mallard had her ducklings, and jazzy jazz, our homeless cat, is probably less homeless since my garden bed smells like cat dump. i'm still going to eat that kale.


happy summer to you and all a good night!
i promise i'll get back soon, my internet family/life philosophy diary and friends.
