The 4th now

My excitement about the neighborhood parade probably outweighed the kids', as I stayed up late finishing touches after "they" decorated bikes and wagons... but! When the day came, it was so much fun and chaos, even though the sun didn't really come out..

Finn happened to be cruising by the hood just in time to hop in for a festive ride in the parade

Campbell shares my joy of the streamers and flair

Jack Kirby is a force to be reckoned with on a trike

Jbird fresh out of the water on her perch to cheer on the team

Never. getting off. the trike... this is after approx. 3 wipeouts on the 2-block parade route.

"Early" 2012 has now slipped by

Now that spring has sprung, I figure it's high time to dust off the old cammy and download the last 3 months of pictures...

Olivia is now 6~glam girl party at the Kirbs


"Please, Mom, get organized!"




Dead serious, we can't wait to go back to DL.

Let's Go, Padres!

So awesome to now have Downtown friends... joined the Kirbs at their new place to walk over to Petco Park for some patriotic Padre action.
joined by Dr. Kelly, my college buddy, visiting for the weekend.. continually loving the "hipstimatic" ap on our phones. ha!
Baby Jack and Campbell shared their first game together! Jack was super into it, as you can see, and Campbell was super into his humongo popcorn.

Ahoy, baby boy!

We sipped and snacked (a lot) in honor of the Kirby's addition, Baby Jack

future girlfriend and old neighbor, baby Stella
my wait staff and their cute handmade sign "Good Luck, baby Jack on this adventure" ha!!

Welcome Baby Jack Kirby! We miss living next door to Olivia and fam, but loved sharing her last night as an only child and meeting "our" new baby brother!
