thankful...
i'm so thankful for my family.

today i was reminded of all i have to be thankful for.
my little guy waking me up before the sun is up to try and
convince me that the sun is actually up.... so it's cool that he's up to.
lorin taking milo to the beach to watch the waves and pick up donuts.
bringing home some donuts for me!

my best friend coming over early to have a cup of coffee and chat.
moppa taking milo to the park and
out for a few hours. so lo and i can run some errands.
watching a jack johnson concert on tv while we ate our lunch.
snuggling when he played our song..... with a little tear
in both of our eyes.

dashing off to toys 'r' us with coupons and gift cards i've
been collecting for months. looking at all the crap in that store knowing that
our boy usually loves outdoor play and random made up toys more than any
over packaged and commercialized "toy" out there. but buying him some anyways
cause that's just what you do.

falling asleep on the car ride to pick up milo. picking up a happy, funny, crazy boy who couldn't stop doing 'cool tricks' and saying, "look at me." as if we could look anywhere
else.
milo falling asleep on the way home.
sleeping now.
lorin painting his new surfboards. bling bling prancing around.
looking forward to dinner and movies at home tonight.
looking forward to seeing all of our family this week.

where have we been?

our hard drive crashed a couple of weeks ago and we lost the last 3 months of our family photos. so i've been a little traumatized. most of our photos are backed-up on an external hard drive and luckily all of lorin's work stuff. but i for got to throw sept, oct and nov into the back up warehouse and BOOM...... sure enough we lost them. :( luckily there is still hope that we will retrieve the photos so i'm holding onto to that hope. when you take over 800 pics a month it really hurts too lose them. so lately i've just been enjoying milo 'in real life' minus the camera. he's happy. here are some photos from the beginning of this month fortunately they were still on the camera memory stick...... or they would be gone too.

don't sneeze! just watching him tumble in the leaves made my allergies twitch!


this is what kids do!


stomp stomp CRUNCH!

playing at the park!


"higher.....HIGHER"
