Chloe hits the dentist and gets glowing reviews

Chloe did great at the dentist. She went in by herself, got x-ray photos and had glowing reviews regarding her sparkling teeth. She looked pretty hip in her shades too. Finn had his first trip to the dentist as well and did great!

Chloe and Mom's Pink Bunny

Chloe is taking great care of Mom's special pink bunny.

Score!! A gold star balloon!

Finn's current addictions...balls and balloons. He found this gold star in the cafe which he was obsessed with. He looked so cute poddling around the cafe with a balloon bigger than him.

Chloe's Art Projects - Summer 2011

Chloe went to art camp for a week this summer and made some great projects. Mom and Chloe also had fun making a fairy garden together.

This is why I love San Francisco...

a walking through the park, you'll can come up upon a line of turtles sunbathing. Even better, today on a walk, I saw a huge crawfish (or mini lobster) on the walking path. Now that's a cool city.

Chloe Camping in Tahoe with Daddy

Josh took Chloe to Tahoe this weekend for some camping and met up with Emily, Breaks, cousin Sophie and Maggie. They had a great time at the lake. Josh texted me this..."Had a moment last night when I took her to this clearing and had her look up at the stars. Thousands of them, very clear. She gasped." There's nothing better than that!

I'm obsessed with this song...thank you My Morning Jacket.

"Wonderful (The Way I Feel)"

It matters to me
Took a long time to get here
If it would have been easy
I would not have cared

Like a tropical forest
Like a cop on the beat
When all is order
You get lost in the heat

I feel so wonderful, wonderful, wonderful the way I feel

Doesn't matter to me
I could take it or leave it
I could learn from way back when
And still live right now

With the sun on my shoulder
And the wind in my back
I will never grow older
At least not in my mind

So wonderful, wonderful the way I feel
I feel so wonderful, wonderful, wonderful the way I feel

I'm going where there ain't no fear
I'm going where the spirit is near
I'm going where the living is easy
And the people are kind
A new state of mind

I'm going where there ain't no police
I'm going where there ain't no disease
I'm going where there ain't no need
To escape from what is
Only spirits at ease

Finnley at 15 months

Finnley had his 15 month appt this week. 20lbs, 30 inches. All looks good. He had his first dentist appt too. Teeth looking perfect. The front crooked tooth is apparently an "extra tooth" the welded to the front tooth or it split in utero and half came in side ways. Either way, it will fall out naturally when he looses his baby teeth. We love his extra tooth!

My Baby Boy...not so baby anymore

We had our 15 month appointment this week and were given the potty training handout...already?! Where is the time going? He's my baby still right??...right??

Chloe's Summer

So having two kids has definitely slowed down the monthly posts but we manage to get a few shots in from time to time. Here we have Chloe out on a rare sunny SF day. The summer has been especially foggy this year, feels worse than others but then again...I say that every year. Looking forward to a September summer!

Chloe has spent some weeks in camp and some weeks with Mom. Camps included Adventure camp, the Rec Parks Camp and the JCC. Given the weather, I've struggled a bit to keep the little ones occupied all day but we're making it. Just 3 weeks until school starts. Chloe will be heading to Pacific Primary this year where she'll be in "Rainbow Dolphins" and more importantly, the school is across the street from our house, SO EXCITED.
