In just a few short hours, my mom and brother will touch down in Oakland California! This is only their second visit since I’ve been living out here (for 3 years!) and I’m so happy to have them back here.

I can’t wait to share all about the adventures we’ll be having.
I was forwarded this photo contest and found the most lovely pictures of all kinds of mysterious sea creatures. This is one of my favorites:

I want to make a pair of earrings based on their funny little stick legs and antenna (or whatever it is going on on top of their heads!).
I also just wanted to share that my mom and brother were just in town visiting. I hadn’t seen them since December, so it was really nice to have them visit.

We didn’t even mean to all wear blue! Guess we all think a bit a like. We had a really nice visit, but I’m sad to have them go.
I’ve been in Maine for about a week and a half while my mother is recovering from surgery (knee replacements!). In between running errands, cooking, and hanging out, I’ve been doing some rumaging through old pictures. Here is a funny assortment of my brother Oliver and me:
6 and 8 years old (aren’t our catholic school uniforms cute?)
I must be about 2 years old here. I look like I’m trying to squish Olli’s head. And doesn’t my dad look like Steve Carell?
Ahhh, winter in Maine…
Adorable or what?
i’m thinking a lot about my mom these days. she’ll be undergoing some pretty serious surgery in a few weeks. it is a much need surgery, so i’m really relieved- but quite scared too. it feels really hard to articulate much about this, so instead, i’ll share some photos of my mother as a young, amazing person.
