kissing bandit

thea, not me.

she kisses everything and everyone these days. on the way home from canada, i had to stop her from kissing the wheels of one of those vehicles that drive through the airport terminal. what can i say, she's a love bug.

vacation reading

thea got hooked on the skinny series while in vancouver last week. she might just be her grandfather's biggest fan....



thanks to aunt katie for taking this photo.

my almost-one-year-old

thea legitimately walked today, over and over, all around the house. and she was so proud of herself! if i could have taken a video, i would have :( thanks to keith for taking this photo.

we head to vancouver tomorrow where i'll spend the week working and thea will be lucky enough to hang out with my mom and sister.

have a great week everyone!

temporary solution

i'm using the camera on my computer to take photos in light of our recent technological debacle. here are some photos from breakfast this morning...

we're supposed to celebrate with ivory

today not only marks veteran's day and the birth of thea's aunt (happy birthday phoebe!) but it's also the anniversary of my first date with zack. i won't bore you with the details, just a few photos. you're lucky that our computer and scanner aren't working (we've basically had a full IT meltdown here, people, and you can add my camera to the list) or you would be looking at a full 14 year retrospective.

as i was looking back through my photos, i realized we have covered a lot of ground since 2007, in every sense of the word!

baby daddy here. i was assigned the task of a post. although boss lady made me type all lowercase for some reason.

came back from surfing this morning to find my two girls sleeping peacefully (sideways) in the bed. these two ladies are lovely, quirky and melt my heart.

sunshine

today has been a crappy day for lots of reasons. i received some very sad news and then had to say goodbye to two great friends who are leaving san diego. i thought i'd post this photo of thee as it makes me smile. she always makes me smile. i hugged her a little bit tighter this morning before leaving her with laura.

don't forget to tell your loved ones just how much you love them.

wild woman

here is the blur that is thea these days...
