Tomorrow's the big ONE

Everett Knight turns one tomorrow. He made it to one. We made it to one. Oh, what a year.My emotions have surprised me this week. I have felt excited and happy and grateful--always, ALWAYS, grateful. But I've also felt really sad thinking back on this time last year. What was supposed to be such a joyous event, the birth of our new baby boy, was overshadowed with a heart anomoly. The pain of Everett's diagnosis and subsequent surgeries...

Peterson Auto Museum

If you are ever in LA, and if you or your kids or anyone you know loves cars {or even if they don't}, the Peterson Automotive Museum is a MUST SEE. I had no idea how amazing this place was going to be, but super amazing it was. We ended up staying FOUR hours at this museum with no complaints, whines or grumps out of either boy. It was great and we'll definitely go again.  The top floor is a discovery center just for kids. This is a real...

It's this little turkey's birthday week, and he has reached quite a few little milestones. He has learned to roll over (finally!) and sit himself up from laying down. He has also learned...barely...mostly...how to stand up on furniture. He still isn't cruising, but by golly he's standing! And he looks so cute doing it. And do you know what is even cuter? Seeing how proud he is when he gets ...

So basically, my dad rocks.

Yes, yes, I know Fathers Day was last week. But darn it my dad rocks. Like, really rocks. Once again this week I saw how much he cares and once again this week I realized how lucky I am. And so today, one week after Father's Day, I'm gonna share the story with you. Because my dad is awesome. It's a story of a three year old who doesn't listen, a door that locks from the inside and a really screwed up fork.The mischievous three...

Venice

We started the day at Chace park in Marina Del Rey. It was a cool, foggy morning, perfect for walking around and looking at boats and for sea creatures. We saw hundreds of boats and only one seal and a few seagulls, but T was satisfied with what he saw. From there we headed to Venice Beach. Oh Venice Beach. I love you Venice Beach. It was perfectly beautiful and quiet. It was a weekday and we only stayed for a few hours in the early afternoon, but...
