Australia Reunion - Melody Ties Never Die

What a fun treat to be reunited with my roommate from Sydney, Wendy..who, by the way, still lives there 10 years later!!! Watch out mom's and dad's who think studying in OZ is a good idea. She's proof your kids may never come back...and for good reason...it's HEAVEN down under!

FINALLY......THEY'RE BACCCKKKKK!!!

After almost a year in RIO our Bay Area family is baccckkkk...YESSSS!!!

Kellan LOVES Uncle Miguel & Auntie Kathryn who i'm quite sure he recognizes from our daily skype phone calls! Technology is an amazing thing when it comes to cutting distance.

Lunch at Le Garage in Sausalito

A perfect day to eat lunch alfresco on the water in Sausalito!

Time Out In The Toy Bin

Kellan went to time out since mom needed to get ready for tomorrow's dinner party and good for both of us - he loved it!

Crafty lil guy also figured out how to wedge his trusty balloon into the toy bin so it wouldn't fly away...hoping those are signs that K got his daddy's smarts!

Kellan had his 9 month doctor's appointment yesterday.

9 Month Birthday Picnic

Bug is 9 months today so we decided to take advantage of the gorgeous warm weather and have a backyard picnic dinner! Kellan even got a candle in his babyfood and a balloon tied to the back of his chair!

Yummy....pasta with fancy lentil bolognese!

The Sweetest Sight

I came home from pilates yesterday to a quiet home....walked to the back of the apartment to see where everyone was and this is the sweet sight i saw. My boys cuddled up for an afternoon nap! Melts your heart!

Nothing But Blue SKYYYYYY

What a day......Nothin' but blue sky

Which brings the first day of the year that's warm enough for Kellan to play in the backyard sans clothes. Judging from that expression, he LOVES it!
