i do miss my camera

i'd love to be following around the kids in their "explorer outfits" 

(think sparks vests, winter hats and magnifying glasses)

 as they search for 

living and non-living things in our fall strewn yard.

...    

however,  i am grateful for a working computer again.  

...

i realized i never posted these photos 

from our trip home from california with the family in may.  

 they are just too precious not to share.  

jane-z:

no words needed.

bodhi:

in a family sandwiched by two strong females, 

this child has found a myriad of ways to exert his... 

maleness.  

or something.

beautiful char:

it is with pride i share the following-

our mowgli-girl.

i love that my children see the sea 

and they run with abandon.

too bad it was so so cold.  ;)

daddy:
so handsome in plaid.
