Today was supposed to be an easy, fun day with Ginny and the boys. Then Ginny’s doula client went into labor while Jesse had jury duty up in Ventura, so I offered to watch the boys while she went to the hospital. Then Susanna got up from her nap and decided to help herself to […]
Susie Q is fine. No weird head injury symptoms, no pain (at least not enough for her to become whiney and ask me for medicine). She’s chipper and happy to tell everyone that she cracked her head open. Yesterday at the library craft table, Elizabeth told the teen volunteers all about the injury in GREAT […]

We went out for ice cream the other night and then let the kids play at the little playplace in the mall. Despite her sisters’ attempts to take her places, Janie wanted to waddle everywhere on her own!

We met some new friends at the Ventura Pier beach yesterday afternoon. Derek might actually get in his 5 trips to the beach with the kids this year!

Out here, foggy mornings are so unusual that the girls associate them with rain (which, I remind those living in non-drought areas, has fallen only twice since Janie’s birth). They decided to put on full rain gear and play in the cloud cover.
