I want to remember this!

 Talent show 2012!
My camera died at the very beginning of Silas' capoeira demonstration but luckily Zane's moms
sent me the video of his and Emmett's original song.

I love the talent show. (One year, Cam, you guys all have to come. It is seriously fun...especially if you enjoy people watching, of the younger variety!)

A good one Cam.

The Myth of Sustainable Meat.

(...and look, that cow has a heart

on his head!)

This House is One of MY FAVORITES

I love that it is kinda falling apart....and the wisteria....

Love this one.

what do you think?

Emmett and Silas want to play basketball in the street every single day.
So we need a sign. But we don't want to be annoying...just get some attention so people slow down.

"Slow Children at Play" always bothered me because my kids aren't slow.


This is nicer, but condescending?



This one looks official but am I allowed to stick a sign out in the middle of the road? And it also seems a little bossy.


I think I choose this one. People would slow down and look all around for the horses.
Kids would be safe and everyone would be too perplexed to be pissy about it.
I'm ordering it.

Flowers!

ARt, the huNtingtOn MusEuM anD a ReaLLy GoOd TimE

So, we went to LA to bring Mac and Jordan to see American Idiot, the Green Day musical that Mac got as a Christmas present...but we also went to the Huntington Museum AND Botanical Gardens and the Museum of Contemporary Art. It was really really fun because these kids are such interested and interesting people!
We also discovered the Standard Hotel which you just have to check out. It's cooler than it looks!

Three Red Heads!

Happy St. Patricks Day!!!
(we are missing our other lovely gingers....)

New Bunny Enclosure

You gotta click on this to see Lion's cutie little face. They love it out there.
We bring them in at night.

Surf Lessons from Crys

Meg and Crys took Em and Si to the beach for some winter fun. The best part, besides Emmett standing up on that board all day...Megan's enthusiasm!


We love and miss you guys!!

This is MY LAUREN and her family from Maine!!!

New School, New Carpool

Good-bye San Diego High International Studies...Hello High Tech High International. ( I wish all the schools we know had short names like Walden. Wouldn't it be cool if the HTH schools were instead called something like Whitman, Poe and Tolstoy! )

Mac is so happy. And this is the only picture I was allowed to take. (One day I will have to sneak inside to get a better shot of its inner beauty for you Cam.)

And I am so happy to share the morning commute with Aida and Pablo now. It's not easy (or smart) to take pictures while driving but I just had to...

Trips

You know we are serious about saving money to do some

traveling when I make a savings jar. Right now

we want to get the kids to Indiana to visit Megan and Crys

and then all of us need to save up to get

to New York to visit Craig, Cami, Finley, Bebe and Grancops.

Eventually, Nebraska....and then, one day... Italy, Africa, France!

;)

Happy Valentines Day!

You've got to love an animal that inadvertently makes hearts with it's body wherever it goes!

Do you see the double-picture giraffe-heart?...whoa....double hearts all the way across the sky!

"you've confused a war on religion with not always getting everything you want.

It's called being part of a society. Not everything goes your way."

Some moments I don't want to forget.

On Mac's 14th birthday
she wanted to miss school, go out for
Indian Food and watch West Side Story
WITH her bunnies inside...
and with Finley too!













Super florally and gingery warmth and love. I love this memory and I miss these people.


And here is Silas making Valentines for his whole class. I didn't think he would want to and suggested he make just a few, maybe one for Ms Morgan and one for Dr Wendy...but really wanted to make all 26. Stickers, tape and stamps. He wrote, "I (heart) you. Silas"

I love this picture.

Some love from Nebraska!

My sister Haze and her husband Brandon come to visit and they fit right in! Good, kind, interested and interesting people!
We had a lot of fun touring around San Diego. The kids really liked getting to know their aunt and uncle...and Silas is now desperate to meet and teach (and carry and tickle and boss around just a wee bit) one-year-old cutie cousin Henry.
Love to you guys.
( I really wish I took better and more pictures! Next time....and bring you mom and brother too! :) We miss you already.
(...also notice the kids opening their valentines package from Meg and Crys!!! xoxoxox)
