camping on the south yuba!

The Yuba River: where our family began! Ben and I met here... got engaged here... named a business after it... gorgeous Gold Country in the Sierra Foothills.


Can't camp without a calculator!





Put-in, Edwards to Purdon, lots of water this year!



Chateau Sarrazin! We finally bought a huge tent and are now official car (or utility bike!) campers after years of traveling the globe (pre-bébé) with light-as-possible packs.


Plenty of room for a pack 'n play! O calling Sadie on her calculator...

in the buff!

Ready for Survivor! Océanne looks so stylish in my multifunctional headware!

the manzanita swing...

On the Ridge!

les petits oursons...

Unlike nursing Baby, Little Bear has been weaned to cow's milk and a sippy cup!

o + sophia!

cupcake cousins!

Sarah and Anna made some yummy cupcakes for my birthday! (Océanne's first if you can believe it). As you can see, she likes the frosting... and Anna likes the cake = how perfect is that? Of course, she's been asking for "cick-cicks" ever since!

may birthdays...

Thirty... something, but still 20 days younger than Ben!




Our strawberry-faced peanut took her first steps on May 24 last year!


I'm the last of the Sarrazin May birthdays... My lovely little family gave me a wonderful weekend celebration... We went up to wine country on Sunday and then spent last night at the beach for a little sunset/Monday happy hour! Topped off with tickets to the San Francisco Opera! Santé! Merci!!


Nice lunch in Healdsburg!
