A trip to the fair

One of my favorite traditions growing up was going to the Del Mar fair on or around my birthday every year. I would eat everything in sights, ride rides, buy crap I'd never use and bake in the sun. This year it's all I wanted to do. We went to the Contra Costa fair with Michele and it was so fun to watch Sarah do all the things I loved doing. She had a blast! It was a fantastic way to spend my birthday with fantastic people! 














Someone had a little too much fun...

We're Back!

I'm writing from my brand new fancy computer and I'm so excited about it. It was a Birthday Surprise from Rob. Blogging was hard from the iPad and since I'm beyond lazy I never wanted to go down stairs to blog from our crapy computer so now we're back in action.

Watching Sarah grow up these last few months has been such a joy, this girl is smart, funny and of course adorable. She's soaking up every bit of her days, learning new things, exploring without fear (mama holds her breath a lot!). Last week the phone rang and she said "hello"! I'm so in love! She's been all about dada these days, first thing she says in the morning is DADA! DADA! DADA? DADA!! After Dada it's Bo Bo and Shi Shi about 20 times. She loves being outside and gets real grumpy when it's time to go in. She's been helping me cook lately, sitting on the counter, using all utensils she can get her hands on and generally making a big mess, I love it, it's just what I dreamed about when I was pregnant.

Our little girl has been through a lot lately, ear infections, ear tubes, bladder infection, oh my! She has come out of it like a champ, now sleeping through the night and generally being the happiest baby I know. I'm so proud of her and learn so much from her everyday.

Ok we're off to celebrate my birthday with a day of the fair with Auntie Michele, can't wait!!

unexpected joy

So Rob and I only have a few holiday's that we really care about. The rest? I work. I have a nice city job that pays well on holiday's so frankly I can't remember the last time I was off for the 4th of July. I decided to take this year off and spend it with my family. Sarah and walked in the Half Moon Bay parade while Rob and my mom ran around taking tons of pictures, it was a dream come true, small town, sunny day, and being a mom, I can ask for nothing more.
