august (summer's wispy ends)

on the top of the driveway. life is way too sweet.

didnt know joe was taking the picture. its very renaissance for me.

this is me and the famous miwok "talking rock" of pleasant valley (to the left.) i'm actually on oak hill road having myself a summer adventure, and wishing a friend was there with me to explore the meadows, creek, and briar patches. the vest and cheeseball "life is good" reflector/mesh hat are the total of my biking safety gear.

his "first steps." again. he's been crawling, learning all over. he'll probably be a little lopsided because of the injury. the leg will go into hyper-growth mode or something like that.

i was quite impressed that the little "point and shoot" digi could handle the sunset so well.

"noooo, mommy!"

dinner with grandpa tom, and neighbors renee and conrad. renee taught me how to knit. she's a sweetheart and a survivor of auschwitz.

peach and blueberry smoothie. his eyes got really wide when i showed him the picture. he couldnt believe he was actually that messy. i think he looks like a little man with the goatee. (and he's still talking about owey and jarom and bella and eliza and zz and grant.)

he was quite fond of this stick, and took it with us on our walk to give it to shiloh, the neighbor dog. we go on walks every evening to say hi to the neighbors' horsies or cows or the mailbox. the other night he said he wanted to "go see vacas." as everyone could imagine i was pleased, espcially since i havent tried to teach him spanish and only sometimes speak it casually around him. (and we DONT watch dora!)
