the thing about blogs that you might not realize is......... when you start to fall behind you can get very overwhelmed and not really know where and when to start up again. since i dropped the ball a few weeks ago we've done a million things and since i can't do a million posts (or can i) i'm just starting with this.

the last few weekends have been action packed. we made a lovely trip to la to see bubby perform in fiddler on the roof. it was sooooo fun to see her and spend the day with family. after the play we went to her boyfriends 94th bday party....... and that's where we saw the BEAR( from my post below). it was right in the backyard of the bday party. the house where the party was at is in a very beautiful part of la...... it's next to some hills and apparently bears are super common. we had great time and lorin and milo did a little swimming.

the next week milo and i hitched a ride with pop and glamma to see papa and diana before they headed north for the summer. we had another great day with milo playing in the pool with pop and me getting to spend some time with my papa. i even worked for my meals on this trip by helping pop clear the grapefruit trees....... the lovely picture of the grapefruit juice was picked by yours truly...... or assistant picker. i've decided that fruit pickers should make more money cause that's some seriously hard work.

milo has been a constant beam of sunshine..... of course! he's been taking steps here and there and still getting into everything. this morning when i went to pick him up for breakfast i walked into his room and there he was sitting in his crib with 3 books (they were not there when daddy put him to bed) he somehow sticky fingered off his book table and into his crib. he looked so darn proud! :) he loves books so much. it makes me laugh thinking about what he was thinking as he was reaching for his books and working them through the crib rails. he is such a little smarty pants. another super adorable thing that he's been doing at the office is right before moppa comes in i sit him in his stroller with the door open so he can catch some breeze and watch the trucks and cars drive by (which he loves) then when moppa walks up to the door he gets sooooooo happy and smiles behind his pacifier. i just love how much love he has around him....... he soaks it all in and sends it back out times a thousand.
