We're leaving on a jet plane!!

Taylor, little man Coop and I are headed to see our main man tomorrow morning. I will be back with scads of family pictures and goodies to share on Wednesday. I freaking can't wait!!

I miss my husband so much that some days it hurts to breathe

{ but I get to see him this weekend!} 

Look at how young we were. It's amazing what 4 years can do... No sleep,  4 houses, 3 jobs, 2 kids equals a lot of grey hair ( for Dusty ) and very dark under eye backs and wrinkles (for me)

Eddie Ross

I love him..

Noted

From Cup for Joe. She asked her readers for ideas for her trip to San Francisco. Add this to our long list of things to look forward to when we get settled.

Some examples: 
I'm echoing a lot of suggestions that have already been made, but here are some of my SF favorites:

Best Neighborhood for Noshing - Mission (home to Tartine and Bi-Rite Creamery)

Best Spot to Feel Like You're in Europe - La Boulange (awesome pastries, coffee drinks, and light lunches)

Best View of the City - from the Observation Tower at the de Young Museum

Best Day Trip (if you have a car) - Muir Woods and Sausalito (you MUST try a fish taco at the Salsalito Taco Shop)

That Black Eye is killing me... But look how big little Coop is

 Cooper is all about his sippy cups now. Such a big boy

 Taylor: Mommy, does the sun shine at Grammies house?

( We have only had a very small handful of nice days since we have been here, and we have been here for over a month. Yuck)

 Rain and Snow go away come again.... NEVER

Sweet Lucy brought Taylor her favorite toy while she was napping

Taylor: Lets out the loudest stinkest FART.
Taylor: COOPER!
Me: Taylor don't fib...
Taylor: ...LUCY!!! Yuck, don't fart

 Lemon Tart for Grammies Birthday

 Messy lunch face

 Tess

 My husband is ridiculously handsom
