Jenn educating us about all the birds in the aviary.
What do you see?
Were having lunch with the ocean crashing in view out the restaurant window. Jack is spooning himself ketchup.

Me and me siblings, reuniting this weekend. I love this photo.
I made an appointment for Jack with my stylist. I wanted to take pictures while his hair was cut and she offered to do it for very little money. It sounded fun! But we couldn’t get a non-nap time appointment for a couple weeks. This weekend his mullet has been looking pretty rank. I decided I couldn’t take it anymore. As soon as he woke from a (3 hour) nap I whipped him onto the back porch with a bowl of mango, stuck the camera in Ben’s hands, and went to work.
Pictures!
Above, ready for church. Mulleted.
Below, the last gasp of the mullet.
Below, first snip (Sniff! My baby is gone!!)
Below, lots of head turning. He tolerated it very very well. No tears or fussing. Just a lot of curious turns.
Above, all done! A celebratory bite of mango for Mom!
Below, my handsome boy.
After a particularly rough crash, Jack resolved his tears with this bicycle toy kept on a high shelf. I pulled out my camera when I noticed him making his “vroom vroom” noises. Ben taught him that, of course.
Ben and Jack went hiking with Grandpa Rick in Fairplay. There are many beautiful photos on Ben’s flickr page. I love this portrait:
I took a video of Jack and me on the porch for my Dad’s birthday. The lighting was weirdly ethereal so I snapped a few photos too:
Ben calls these PJ’s Jack’s sorority shorts:
Last weekend my parents came to visit! I have so much fun seeing them, and Jack had a blast too. It was too hot for most of the playground equipment, but he likes stairs enough to be happy.
And he got a sunscreen-as-hair-product do in the shade.
They brought us Palisade peaches. Jack ate three that day.
A quick stop at the Apple store to swap out a broken iPad.
Then Jack was let loose in the play park. Holy cow, did he had had fun.
This was the first of many many times climbing up the water rapids. It was incredibly noisy there, but I could see Jack’s mouth moving the whole time he played. They tell me he was going “Da! Da! Da! Da!” non-stop.
I don’t buy a lot of frivolous things. Unless you could chocolate and diet coke. But every once in a while I go on a spending spree. I’ve got a bit of Christmas money in my savings account that I can dip into when the urge strikes. Here are some recent purchases.
A dresser for Jack’s room.
He outgrew his changing table in length and I’ve been window shopping (online) for a vintage dresser since he was an infant. Finally hit a good one on craiglist for the right price. I love solid, old furniture. Now I have my eyes peeled for a coordinating nightstand.
With a salon appointment next week, I was inspired to do a little making-over of my image.
I ordered some hair feathers from Etsy. Now I look like this:
Ha! Just kidding. I ordered some brown and purple and only one thin stripey that is currently in my sister’s hair. I put some in partly hidden just to see if they work well (yes!). I’ll put them in more obviously after my visit to the salon this week and before the trip to San Diego.
I also go these, courtesy of my personal family ophthalmologist:
It’s handy having a prescriber with you in the store, and a long time user to give you tips for putting contacts in.
Aren’t I alluring? It will take some time to get used to them. But I’m already loving being on the computer without my glaring, scratched up glasses. Speaking of which . . .
I ordered these:
They are the Webb frames from Warby Parker. It’s a great glasses company. You really all about them on their site. I love their vintage style frames, the try at home offer, and the buy-one-give-one program they have. Ben scoffs at how hipster they are, including their name-which comes from two characters of Jack Kerouac. You probably haven’t heard of them 😉
