Julie and Joe came over to visit with us today. They are in the Bay Area for a couple days and none of us could believe that they hadn’t met Lucy yet! (They also got to meet Kiera, and Georgia too.)
I think Lucy could tell that Julie and Joe were family!
We had lunch. Luckily, I’d made chicken broth last night, so I threw together some soup! Cole and Kiera brought bread and cookies (and much needed coffee. thank you!)
Homemade chicken noodle with basil and root vegetables. ha ha.
We had a quick but wonderful time at Camp Okizu family camp – the weekend was called “bereavement weekend”. It’s so special up there. Definitely worth the long drive – Oscar, “Are we there yet?” after > 1 hour.
Here’s a map that shows where the camp is (it’s the first question everyone asks.)
We paddled a canoe, hiked, collected acorns, swam in the lake, oscar caught a fish, did some archery, played connect four, sang at campfire, and of course we talked about Ava. In the morning we lit candles for her. It was a good trip!
An pretty random assortment I’ve got here for you!
These smelled incredible but the recipe needs work. They kinda fell apart on us. Anyone got a good recipe for us?
We have a ‘forest in progress’ because our landscape photographs that normally hang on this wall are out on loan.
Georgia has all her shots and is finally free to run! I don’t know who’s happier, Georgia, or Cole & Kiera!
Not ice cream! It’s cake with chocolate frosting!

We don’t want any! *slam*
A couple more. The onsie is from Sarah in NY, and these Boden pants are getting lots of compliments!
Bath tonight: “Mom! This is so awesome!”
Oscar went to the game today…
With Mark, Cole, Kiera, Madie and Alex,
His first (and only) game of the season. But what a great one to go to!
