Last Day
Today is Tessa’s last day of Toddler A and Gabe’s last day of Lions. On Monday Tess goes to Tod B and Gabe goes to Bears.
I AM SO DEPRESSED. I like them as babies. (I like them now, too, but part of me really wishes they would stay babies instead of going off to kindergarten and then high school and then college and then getting married and getting graduate degrees and having...

BREAKING NEWS
There is ANOTHER DEAD SQUIRREL in the backyard. Trooper does not seem to have noticed it yet.
Possibly Magnum is the executioner. He was prowling around in the backyard looking quite pleased with himself right when I discovered the victim.
I sort of think that if Trooper had offed this particular squirrel he would have been excited about it and possibly brought it inside to show me, given...

Vacation, All I Ever Wanted
Oh friends, we had the loveliest vacation with my grandparents. A wonderful, relaxing four days; lots of swimming and good food and laughing. More details to come, but I will leave you with this preview.
Grimy, but happy.

Nothing is better than family.

WatchFresh out of the pool, so please excuse our terrible hairstyles. Tessa is my sunshine. Good gracious I adore that child.
WatchThis kid was afraid to jump into the pool from the side yesterday. Today he’s some kind of wild daredevil. Vacation is so awesome.
WatchArizona dance party!
So far today we have flown in an airplane, played with new toys and books, played with Great Grammy and Great Granddad, spent over an hour swimming in the pool, and eaten pizza for dinner. In sum, GREAT DAY.

Pick Your Battles
Guess who won the wardrobe skirmish this morning?
From head to toe, Tess is wearing her pink and orange birthday hair clip, Gabe’s old Buzz Lightyear shirt, her pink embroidered Easter skirt, multicolored butterfly socks, and black Mary Janes.
Maybe I can turn this into a fashion blog.

In Which I Overreact Quite Dramatically
I’m just going to dive right in, because there’s no good way to preface this story. I let Trooper out in the backyard yesterday, and after he peed he didn’t want to come back inside. Generally speaking it’s fine with me if he hangs out in the backyard, as it is completely fenced in and safe for him.
He spent several minutes roaming the bushes around the perimeter of...

Self Portraits
Gabe and Tessa are really into the reverse camera functionality on the iPhone.
(By the way, I realize this picture of Tess is terrible, but all of the dozen other shots she took were just of her forehead.)

No fun! No fun!
Our weekend was excellent. On Saturday the children excelled at their swimming lessons, Tess participated in all segments of baby ballet class, and then we threw a birthday party for my mom (tiny list of attendees, but very well-executed if I do say so myself).
Yesterday we spent the day at Disneyland/California Adventure, which was good fun even with the mad summer crowds already in full...
