small girl at the small shed...



We hit the kayak beach down the street first thing in the morning both Saturday and Sunday to beat the sun, it was a hot weekend! On Sunday we loaded up peanut and rode our bikes to Mill Valley for some yummy lunch at one of our favorite haunts, Small Shed Flatbread... a nice, mellow weekend at home!




soleil, la masseuse!

happy father's day!






Celebrating Father's Day with the twins Piper and Payson... We had a wonderful dinner at Jodi and Brian's house in Mill Valley and the kids were all obsessed with Brian's guitar... I think there might be some budding musicians in the bunch!

another pretty day in san francisco!




One of the reasons we love where we live is because it's so easy to ferry to the city and see our friends on the other side of the bridge (Golden Gate, not the Bay Bridge, pictured)... We hung out at the Ferry Building and along the Embarcadero with Kristin and Mati after having a nice lunch with Erica. Can't beat the beautiful weather and soft grass to play on, although Mati isn't too crazy about the way it tickles her little feet!

A beautiful Sunday in the San Francisco Bay with Daniela, Patrick and Leon!



O and Leon, completely zonked on their daddy's backs...

riding in the big girl's seat...


Pretty comfy with Little Bear in her new "cowmooflage" carseat... She's still facing the back though... we'll turn her around when she hits the big *20* pound mark!

Some footage showing our little two-week walking veteran in action after some yummy ravioli... Lots of giggling and lots of tomato sauce on her face!

13 mois demain, une petite fille!


Who is this little girl... and what happened to my tiny baby!?! Océanne is walking nonstop now (with the occasional tumble). She's still a dainty little flower! Her favorite foods are blueberry waffles made with quinoa flour and coconut butter, pineapple, kiwi, toast, and anything stirred into yogurt... She decided to ditch many of the finger foods and veggies she had been eating so well and has been a little pickier in the high chair (teething).. an introduction to the toddler years?! I'm still nursing her in the morning and before bed, no signs of weaning on her end, so we'll see how it goes! She's a great sleeper, smiler and is pretty much just a delight to spend the day with... I feel really fortunate to have been able to stay (and work from) home this past year, what a gift, I'll never take that for granted!!

linus and ida...


Our very cute neighbors, "The Swedes," Linus and Ida had us over for tea and Kanelbullar (cinnamon buns!) on Sunday, yum!

everyone deserves music!


(In the words of Michael Franti) We had a nice sing-along at our place yesterday with Soleil and Kern, thank you Michelle for sharing your talent!

les cousins!



The cousins, 15 months apart... And I'm making the exciting official announcement that Sarah is expecting #2! Details to come end of November!!!
