family
I can’t believe I forgot to tell you that my baby, Luna Pie, is walking. She’s been doing it for close to 2 weeks now.
As it turns out, I missed her first steps even though I was in the same room as her when she took them. I was folding laundry and the TV was on. My hands were on the laundry, my eyes were on the TV, Luna Pie was standing next to me and all of a sudden she was in front of me taking the last of what had been probably 10 steps. I hit rewind in my peripheral memory vision and realized that her head had never left what is standing level for her. I was so bummed. I wasn’t even watching something good like, Let’s Make a Deal. I don’t even like watching TV during the day. I blame it on the laundry.
Now, for your viewing pleasure…
Her joy and perserverance remind me that you should focus on the journey, not the destination.

When my husband works, I stay home with the kids. When I work, he stays home with the kids. Most weeks we are lucky to have 1 day off together as a whole family. This past weekend the stars aligned and we both had Saturday and Sunday off.
We took that as a sign from the Universe that we were meant to take a road trip. We loaded up the car and headed to Sacramento to visit with family. We ate had fun, ate some more, had more fun, and went to sleep.
Sunday we woke up feeling our trip had been a smashing success and ready to have a little more fun before heading back to San Francisco. Unknown Papi goes to pack up the car and finds that our trip was undeniably smashing.
Our driver’s side window had been smashed to smithereens. We have no idea by whom or what or even what the intention was. No one had been in the car and nothing in the car had been taken, so theft did not appear to be the motive. My theory is that some drunken St. Patrick’s Day revelers got a little too wild. It’s all supposition on my side.
We were bummed and our plans went from having more fun, to getting the window replaced before we left. It turns out that we will have to spend one more evening in Sacramento.
I guess the Universe wanted us to spend more time together as a family. Thanks Universe. Next time could you just have us win the lottery or something?

For almost 3 years I’ve been blogging with a paper bag over my head. I have revealed myself and bits and pieces of my family through my writing, but I’ve never given you a good look at our faces. Until today!
This is what we look like in knit.
Pictures were “knit” with Knitted Cam App.
