lost wire

i am not posting as much as usual b/c i lost the cord that runs from the computer to the camera. i will remedy this situation soon.

the ordinary moments with Eloise are amazing moments. today, she was dancing, i.e. bopping up & down on her butt while wagging her arms. she continues to enjoy the Gorillaz and now we can add Nirvana to the list.

Sam's Visit

Oakland's mildly famous Mormon Temple

It reminds me of Oz.

de Young

Lake Temescal with Wade, Old Buddy

Hey buddy, that's mine.












Technically speaking, that's not mine, but I'll take that off your hands.

it's all starting

First she pulled herself up to the computer table, stood there for awhile and turned off the movie that was playing. That's when I sat her down with a teething buscuit. And the rest you could see for the most part, she cleared off some shelves. Not sure the camera picked up the trail of buscuit. Eloise managed to turn on the Gorillaz on the stereo and she bounced around a little. That's when I grabbed her up and we danced a few songs. Later, I wiped some buscuit off her face and she flashed me a look of scorn.

mo' teeth

I heart NY

"I love New York" is what our little doll's onesie says. Phoebe's mom, Sha gave us this precious cotton garb.

I just found out how happy-n-ecological I am compared to other Earthlings. I am happier and more ecologically minded than the avergae American but not as happy and ecologically minded as the average Earthling. This happy planet is a great site.


It promotes a shift in consciousness, values, and priorities...it promotes a transformation which can affect the planet for the better.

IS this that thing called , 'STANDING' ?

lipstick red lawn & a visit from Evie

a backyard bonanza (weekend in review)

The cutest, ever! Yesterday, mom dragged ella-bean to the first meeting of our Oakland Moms Book Club. She had an awful time [picture not shown] but thank goodness there was another baby there to commiserate with her.

Aunty Nicole is watching Eloise eat the postcard from Grandma Jenny. Thanks G-ma Jenny for the lovely!! clothes. The extra style in the wardrobe is much appreciated.

Uncle B and Laura arrived. Uncle B provides the fun. He's in a band, Apple Pie Hopes and he is an entertaining artist. He told Ella her hair smelled like a wet dog. So we changed shampoos. And Laura, she is the best chef in the bay area. As well as being a Dancing Queen.
