new year....

kadison and me...photo taken by tim

home

wine, grapes, crackers, cheese, brownies, wine....
champagne cork popped
drinks all around...
good friends...
good laughs...

calm
laughter till it hurts
calm

sitting on the edge of the sidewalk, the world ...waiting to see what will happen..
or better yet...not waiting....moving straight forward to create what will happen..

the year of 2007 brings more laughter, more love and overall more calm...

much love and laughter to all of you - Happy New Year!

more scenes....

earlier in the week we headed to the city to check out the Aquarium and the Sea Lions - Kadison couldn't stop "barking" like them! Can't resist being a tourist in our own city!!

And yes another gorgeous day in the Bay Area so we headed to the beach for some fun in the sun...gotta love California!

Kadison's first haircut this weekend (her hair was 1/2 way down her back)...such a trooper and how can you not enjoy yourself when you're sitting in a race car, watching Dora the Explorer on TV and you get the pick of the crop from the toy box! She left with a new doo, a certificate and a poloroid of her proud moment!

as for me ....dinner at Chez Panisse for Tim's Birthday...deeeeelicious!

pulling moments

sanbruno_view.jpg


the walk around the zoo with my parents, kadison and t ~ watching the lemurs jump from fence to fence, the tortoise who was getting some kind of procedure involving a needle, a watermelon piece, 3 zookeepers, the monkey who was swinging from branch to branch asking for attention, the train that chugged along, the lunch that wasn't eaten by k, the flamingo's and their one-legged stance, the camels that chew so funny and the baby giraffe who is so darn cute.

the store my mom and i walked into that was total choas, the clothes on the floor and strewn everywhere, the women who scooted my mom right off the bench while trying on shoes, the way we just couldn't figure out which sheets were the best - so many things to consider - thread count and the 3 million kinds of cotton....who knew....

the power walk to the park thinking we were both trying to keep up with the other...the leisurely walk back kicking through the leaves

the lazy day and mom sewing the hole in my sweater and the button on my pants

noticing she cleaned my sink by how pearly white it is now

watching k laugh from the horsey ride grampa gave her
the hugs and kisses she gave out
the innocense, the love and the laughter

realizing i didn't take one photo all weekend.....
