summer's here

zack and thea have been going to the beach at least once a week for over a month now but this weekend was my first time in a long time and it was just what i needed to feel that summer has begun! thea absolutely loves the beach and asks to go almost every day. i think she'll be surfing before we know it.

eighteen months

and thea finally has enough hair for an up-do!

wishing we were in CT

zack is away this weekend visiting his family and i'm more than a little sad we're not there. i love when family is all together in the same place, it makes me so happy.

thea and i made the best of our weekend alone and took a trip to sea world. i have VERY mixed feelings about sea world, especially after seeing this, but we already had one year unlimited passes and it's just so damn convenient. it takes us less than 10 minutes from our front door to get inside the park and thea can run around until she drops. today we went on some rides and saw the shamu show. then i let her play in the padded pit, which is the equivalent of putting her in a hampster wheel, she's totally exhausted when she's finished.

here are a few photos with some of her favorite sesame characters:







and waiting patiently for shamu on an unseasonably cold day in san diego:

if you listen closely you'll hear thea's version of 'twinkle twinkle little star' with a little 'baa baa black sheep' thrown in for good measure!

some photos taken today with a new camera app for my iPhone. the stitches in thea's lip fully dissolved yesterday. all healed!

early april

i'm attempting to get caught up and wanted to post some photos from our easter morning.





like father, like daughter

off to see the wizard

we're just this minute packing up the car to head to LA. thea has another surgery in the morning and we need to arrive at the hospital at 5:30am. keep your fingers crossed and send us lots of positive energy tomorrow.

here's a couple of my favorite recent photos, taken this weekend.







sorry i've been so out of touch. i promise to be better. love to all.
