Someone enjoying a well deserved post-hike juice box

stinson beach
Looking down from the Coastal Trail near Muir Beach

dandelion fight
Fighting politely over who gets to blow the seeds of the dandelion...

bread
Thrilled to rub on the molasses and salt glaze...(handmade sourdough pumpernickel)

nightwatch
Someone just loves to read read read...we had to get her a special light so she could go to sleep on her own. On the first night we found her asleep with a book across her chest, nightlight still going, right next to her head...tough fight. Since then, she places the book to the side of her bed and can even turn off the light before zonking. (Next week is the tough one...Tilda will be joining her big sister in the same room...crossing fingers)

older
Finally! She doesn't try to run straight into the pond. Oh Tilda, please grow up, but not too fast.

Painting buddies

happy
"I'm very happy to have you on the trail"

freedom!
"Yay! I'm out of the backpack carrier and free to run" (Please don't run into the poison oak)

summer fun
Summer fun!

pizza!
Pizza!

roughage
This is the nicest way Momma could think of to encourage some roughage in Tilda's diet. It took almost an hour to gut that many sugar peas (Tilda won't yet eat the pods) and pit that many cherries.

restraint
Tilda (a.k.a. "godzilla") is now able to restrain herself from knocking over Ursula's cities, buildings, swimming pools, and other constructions. But it's not easy for her. Notice the twist, the bitten lip, ...

raggedy ann 1970
Gramma Kay made this for Uncle John in 1970...Ursula loves him...yes, Raggedy Andy...who is now a lady.

summer
Summer came early on sunday..90 degrees and then the next day was 52...oh San Fran.

scissors
From a nice cutting paper lesson to a Tinkerbell inspired bang trimming. She even went to get a ziplock to repeat her first haircut. Argh..

redrum
redruM pasta time


April 30
Whatever flu...every sneeze at the supermarket causes everyone to look around. This is going to get scary really quick. My bet is that they cancel graduation...sad.

model
Tilda gets initiated at USF as a model for the Painting 1 course. She lasted 1.25 hours (with the help of a DVD...)

grass 2
Foxtail barley..

grass
Andrew Wyeth eat your heart out.


Ribs
Getting some meat on our little meateater...
