Our dear has been writing some of her favorite letters, in sytle.

Yes, the S.

“Daddie, can I work on my skateboard”?
He brought in the board, and drill, and tightened it all up, ready for the road.

Focus on the top.

And the bottom.

Got a chance to hang out @ the Rose Garden courts for a few moments, this mothers day.
A little playing with grandpa

And a little 1 on 1.

And a little sun to bloom

Our day. Ripe for the taking.
From the other room, “Daddie, may I please play your banjo”?
And that’s when the magic happened.
played and sang “Baa-Baa Black Sheep” first. Then, “Puff the Magic Dragon”.




The team hosted a puppet show rendition of the story “The Sun Egg” for some of the young peeps in our neighborhood. It was a warm event, even in the rain.
The puppet show was followed by some silk dying, wand making, and a visit from the Faerie Queen herself.
Viva Spring



The team loaded up the wagon, threw Grandma Carmen in, and headed to the farm.
East Bay regional parks was hosting a sheep shearing festival at Ardenwood Farm.
The kids dig all the animals, we made sure we visited all the friends, including the little brown pigs.


Kids like to make stuff.
The team brought dyed wool and a bucket full of soapy water to the Farmer’s Market.
It was a maker market rendezvous. For the children.

Whilst on a recent walk to the park, noticed a few examples of the Berkeley flavor of graffiti.
Chard (which grows well in the Berkeley climate) was here.

The Berkeley Natives (case in point, Live Oaks) meshing with others.

Perhaps this gang will take up an eco-farming project with their next rampage? Clean the streams!
Being a big girl is
being big to brother
And young to mother
And fun with dad,
And sharing with others.

Aunt Kim sent down a box of goods from the older cousins, Keaton and Ben. Our friend Angie dropped off the box in the morning on her way to visit San Francisco.
By early afternoon, Rogue is in full gear and we’re playing soccer on the lawn. Cleats…and all.
Would you like to kick the ball with me?
