St. Joes

Well we're back from Michigan. Panda and I had a lovely time with Cookie, Grandpa, and Sasha and we absolutely adored the Konker's laid back, retro-style and completely comfy cozy beach house. It has so much personality! I drove up on Wednesday with Jill and Simon, who decided to stay for the night after we realized there were about sixteen spare beds. It was so fun to have a road trip and a slumber party! But Panda and I missed Mark so much the whole time we were gone. We wish he had been able to come with!

PS. The porch (decidedly the favorite room in the house) shady and breezy, ended up being the place to congregate over the hot hot hot weekend. We all loved napping on the swinging bed!

Big Foot

Here's Panda with her dad in the morning before work on Tuesday. She got a taste of what it's like to walk in someone else's shoes for a day. More pictures of Panda and Mark from that day!

Beach Day

Oz Park

Panda and I had the best day today! It was the most fun we have ever had! After having lunch with Daddy we spent the afternoon at Oz Park. We went for a walk, laid out, took a nap, played airplane, lounged, looked at dogs and nursed. It was epic. I will never forget this wonderful day! Plenty more pictures where this came from.

HAPPY FATHER'S DAY!

To celebrate our first Father's Day we had our friends Alan, Jill, and Simon and my parents and Sasha over for brunch. We had a Bloody Mary Station, as well as mimosas, fresh fruit, mushroom and sausage strata, an arugula salad and fleur de sel brownies. YUM! Click here to view more pictures of the event.

Friends gathered to eat (homemade chips, guacamole, plantains, rice, beans, beet salad and, of course, delicious fish tacos), drink (the most incredible margaritas) celebrate with Sasha and play with Panda. Salud!

Block Party in Pictures

Yesterday Panda and I went to the Kenmore Street Block Party with Jill and Simon. It was cool and cloudy but we still had a good time.
