after a little hiatus, we are back in action! it was a busy end to the school year, but now that summer is in full swing, i'm ready to catch back up on this world-famous blog. =) these monthly shots are from early april, and our adventures around that time included my birthday, the boston marathon and easter (well, an easter egg hunt is about all we do for that day).
 |
| thank goodness they still sit and smile for these |
 |
| as long as nobody is touching, there is no fighting! |
 |
| crazy ly |
 |
| a ray of sunshine...usually! |
 |
| boston airport....waiting for our lyft |
 |
| someone's got wings! |
 |
| checked in to the hotel and headed out for dinner |
 |
| pizza...we're way too predictable |
 |
i think we're outgrowing a single hotel room...john's
"office" moved to the hotel bar at 10pm each night |
 |
| they're like a little old married couple lol |
 |
| what a treat...lyla and lucas got to share our bed! |
 |
| meanwhile back in sf... |
 |
| i'm pretty sure this guy didn't even miss us |
 |
our hotel was right on the race route and had
great sign-making materials out all weekend |
 |
it kept us all entertained when we needed to
take a break from the close togetherness in our room |
 |
| expo time! |
 |
right about now is when i started
to regret my decision to run |
 |
| this was right after we lost lyla for a terrifying minute |
 |
| bringing west coast cool to the east |
 |
| sisters |
 |
| life is good! |
 |
| the kids finished changing and found their swim coach incapacitated |
 |
| thank goodness for livi! (neither of us wanted to get in the pool) |
 |
| an indoor, cold, and tiny pool...still a hit! |
 |
| all done with the finishing touches |
 |
| boston was packed everywhere, so we spent an afternoon in cambridge |
 |
| stumbled upon the harvard natural history museum |
 |
| every posed picture HAD to start with a silly one |
 |
| we couldn't get enough of the colors in the backdrop |
 |
i do love natural history museums
(the only type of museum i enjoy...to john's dismay!) |
 |
| croissants and coffee |
 |
| dark and early |
 |
| bundled up in old clothing i planned to donate |
 |
| let's do this!! |
 |
| patiently waiting for the first runners to arrive |
 |
| finally putting that sign to work |
 |
| seriously, another picture dad?? |
 |
| mile 23...so happy to be almost done! |
 |
| got a better time than when i ran it 10 years ago...i'd call that a win! |
 |
| post-race pizza and beer |
 |
| a perfect to ending to our trip |
 |
i'm very thankful for my supportive and fun crew...
i couldn't have done it without them! |
 |

 |
| showing off his pieces from the art fair at school |
 |
| more ceramics...yippee! |
 |

 |
| even stanley the kitty got to come along for the ride |
 |
| the rain thankfully cleared right before we headed to school |
 |
| brothers |
 |
| john's easter eggstravaganza =) |
 |
they ACTUALLY think the easter bunny pulls out our
slide, tunnels, etc. and hides color-kid coordinated eggs |
 |
| they sure do love it though! |
 |
| such a good sport. =) |
 |
| the loot! |
 |
| candy, candy, and more candy |

 |
| lyla as "mommy" |
 |

 |
| bubble soccer - such a fun and exhausting activity! |
 |
we have a lot of random lyla pictures
that are too cute not to post! |
 |
| miss sass |
 |
| swim-team ready =) |
 |
| mama and her baby |
 |
| my afternoon date |
 |

 |
almost ready for school...putting on socks and shoes
take up 80% of her "getting-ready" time in the morning |
 |
| music time at school |
 |
| that looks really safe |
 |
apparently lyla is model for risk-taking in her class (she hasn't gotten
hurt yet...well at least not at school...only with her parents!) |
