Today's conversation with Sam

Me: Sammy I am so proud of you. We said goodbye to bottles.
Sam: Yeah! I say goodbye bottles!
Me: We said goodbye to paci.
Sam: Yeah! I say goodbye paci!
Me: We said goodbye to diapers.
Sam: Yeah! I say goodbye diapers! I say goodbye baby boy!

And then I had to weep a little that all my babies are growing up.

Monterey for July 4th Weekend

 

I laughed when I saw Terah with his coffee, thin puffer vest and picnic basket. What a hipster.

On another trip a few months ago, Sam surprised us by suddenly appearing out of his crib. Now I know how. 

Sadness because he couldn't join his brothers in a card game. It is hard being third. 

Our trip was filled with lots of bike rides, coffee shops, old time charm and tide pools. Fun escape with our boys!
