Glimpses of our summer....
Well yeah, sure, I could have been posting all along -- a picture here, a rant there. But alas! I dropped out! And now I'm dropping back in with some moments from our delightful summer. We worked a lot, played a lot, swam a lot, beached a lot, and celebrated to the extent of hangover. Much goodness. Now we're off to BA for 2 weeks and then back to school... sinking in, rhythm, ritual... Oh, but first, the Justin Roberts show is tomorrow! Swoon... Chris is going with me and Albie -- he's afraid of what I might do.
Anyhow -- back to the picture show... Wishing you all a fabulous few weeks 'til the autumnal equinox...
I did mention the work right?
Fun with friends (I removed friend's butt from image.)
Rainy day art...
After 3 years of living next door, Albie and neighbor boy have become friends. Truly a miracle, although I give my son a lot of credit. It took Albie, hands on hips, saying to Matthew, "Matthew. How come when I say hi to you you never talk to me?" Now they're pals.
Finding frogs...
Don't let the scowl fool you, he's thrilled to be sailing.
This summer he learned to swim. And although live and in person it looks like a combination of swimming/drowning -- he does get from one side of the pool to the other. Oh yeah, he prefers to swim naked.
Tourism! In the big city!
And of course... the wedding! So beautiful! The bride was stunning! So much fun! I was dancing on the tables! Ok -- no, I wasn't. Good thing I said no to that last glass of champagne. First pic is the morning of -- kids having fun while we were setting up...

Settling in
Just wanted to share that I spent the Saturday that I have been thinking about for so long. Walked three minutes to the bus stop with Luca, Mimi in her Maya wrap. Rode the bus into town and walked to the post office. Then, walked to the Farmer's Market. Enjoyed lemonade, fresh flowers, raw honey, getting free ears of corn, unbelievable tomatoes and the bustling crowd. Wandered down to Boulder Creek to cool off and throw rocks while Mimi napped. Rode the bus home. Ate lunch and then walked two minutes to the pool. Somehow, it felt like I had so much more time to be with the kids, talking, sharing, investigating, without the hassle of getting in and out of the car and focusing on driving. It was really delightful, despite the heat.
Luca has shared with me that he thinks our old house is sad. We are visiting our old house Monday, so we will check it out. We will all be doing better when the sickness passes, and the house gets cleaned up. For now, I think we would all agree that we won't be moving again for a long time.
