beyond the vineyards...



...is beautiful Sugarloaf State Park in Sonoma County. We celebrated the beginning of summer (and camping!) with Leon, Patrick and Daniela.

Rockin' the harmonica! O wore a Chinese silk dress the entire time... dirt just kind of rolls off... move over Patagonia!







Guess we'll never know who got into our kitchen!

little paddle...


locals:



A beautiful, relaxing Father's Day in NorCal: oceanside in the morning at Rodeo Beach and bayside in the evening, paddling around Sausalito and looking at the goofy, cute harbor seals!

elle aime le dentiste...

Most people dread going to the dentist, but Océanne absoutely loves it! We talk about it pretty much nightly when getting ready for bed... the fancy plastic rings of course being the best part of the visit!

aloha!

We were in Maui with my parents, Sarah, Todd, Anna and Edie in early May... and what an opportunity to celebrate Océanne's third birthday!!! And of course, Ben's birthday too (same day!). It was just a magnificent week... we stayed on Wailea Beach in a "villa" which just couldn't have been nicer, we are spoiled for life now! The beach was perfect for kiddos and adults as well. Here are just a handful of photos... it's impossible to sum up the trip with a few words and images as always... I think we all miss the "Aloha" magic of Hawaii, but since we've been back we have almost daily luaus at our house with our little hula dancer, O. Here are a ton of photos that seem to capture a week of bliss in Maui! Followed by Océanne's Hawaiian birthday! Mahalo to Nana and Papa...
