The Secret Lives of Boys

 



There is no question boys share a secret language for all things gross, obscure, and mechanically bizarre. These two can spend hours reading books with titles most suitable as a headline banner for Barnum & Bailey. Most times I am not sure who is more excited to report they have seen, discovered, or read about something as amazing as a two headed snake. My hope for our little Monkey is he always remember the pure thrill of discovery, inspiring him to leading a life of true exploration. I can only image the overwhelming desire and curiosity to see what lies on the other side; whether rock or mountain; is how it started for all those who continue to inspire us.

A Future Nobel Laureate



Don’t let the choice of clothing attire fool you, Bunny is hard at work creating her first great masterpiece. Her ability to amuse us with her whimsical singing and dancing is endless. Recently she has begun to write small nonsensical vignettes’ describing the merry comings and goings of her imaginary friends. Today they were all in Paris. How lucky could they be?

Giddy Up



I have lost track of how many times my mother has taken joy in reminding me how much Bunny is truly her mother’s daughter. Her stubborn nature and sure determination to do things her way, on her time, could force even the mightiest of world leaders to their knees. And while it is true I do have a rebellious streak in me, it is actually Bunny's love for horses which seals the deal.

Happy Birthday Sofia!

 
 

When asked what she would like for her birthday, she whole heartedly replied, "A fish." Well of coarse, how silly of me. Happy Birthday, to the only one I know who loves being in the water more than I.

Gotta Wear Shades


One more example, Bunny could give any of fashions elite a run for their money.

The Kids Are All Right



How lucky I am to have such loving, healthy, happy children. When their big brother stops by, it is nothing but deep belly laughs, joyful screaming, and antics galore.

Idle

 

 



It is not often I see these two so still. Most often I feel as though I should be running around shooting off flares warning people of the ensuing chaos.

California



It is a love hate relationship I have with the beautiful state of California. I love the smell and sound of the rolling ocean. For me the tide is nothing short of a visual assertion the earth has her own mood and daily rhythm. And regardless of the mood, whether stormy or calm, the rhythm continues. It is a constant reminder to simply breath.


But for all it's beauty, I continue to assert California is a nice place to visit but I would never choose to live here. People clammer to live on top of one another. I continue to stand in awe at the dilapidated shacks encroached upon by multi million dollar sea rentals.  There is a dark underbelly here, lurking in the shadows. A subtle reminder that even the most beautiful succulent produces both luscious enamoring flora along side flesh ripping thorns.
