Thank to you all of our friend's for making the day a great memory. We had a blast with the pinata, the pillow sack races and hanging out playing.
We are so lucky.
Cheers!

Prep'n The Party Favors

We just couldn't do the normal party favors, so, we came up with this.
Tom's printing them up right now.

Make'n The Cake

Both Tom and I love birthdays and feel like they really are a big deal.
Hence, The Monkey's Birthday Party.
The countdown and preparations have began.
He wants a chocolate cake with chocolate frosting.
He did his part cleaning up.

Getting Ready

The Monkey's 4th Birthday Bash is this Sunday.
Lots to do.
Wish us luck, it's gonna be a big one.

Little Bit of Normalcy

This is The Monkey waiting and waiting for the "Recycling Man" and "Cardboard Man" to come. He waits patiently every Monday for hours. He does the same on Tuesdays and Fridays for the trash men "Buddy Guy" and "Crazy Man". The guys love him. They honk their horns, give him high fives. They have even paid him for helping ($1.00 a couple of times) and given him a little trash truck of his own. Very sweet for both sides.



This is our main walk to Downtown and to The Monkey's school. It's been our main walkway for about 10 years now. It doesn't matter what season it is, there is always something lovely about it.

Flashback Monday Part 8

OK, back to the flashbacks.

Depeche Mode Everything Counts

Up and Down and All Around

Time seems to be moving in a weird way.
Today just seemed to drag.
No energy to do anything, except be there for The Monkey and The Bubby.
We're just talking and then sitting quietly. Holding each other.
Wondering. Wondering.
A little work here, a little work there.
Angry. Sad. Laughing. Crying.
Moving through and growing.

We miss you Dad.

6:36 pm PST

Tom's dad passed away last night. We're just kind of wiped out right now. As Tom said, "I think that is about as much stress as I can handle in one day."

Thank you to everyone who have emailed us. We appreciate it so much.

Tom's sickness is better and that shot for my hand has made about 90% of the pain go away.
Yea!

Talk to you soon.

We went to Oakland to see Tom's dad last night. The time of his passing is coming very soon. We will be going back today. It's all very sad.
