Day at the Beach 27, originally uploaded by StephLewis. We finished unpacking last week. Yes. Finished. Even pictures are hung. There is not one box left (except some of Josh’s boxes that are mashed with cords, old software, and Mission Control tapes… but those are his problem and not mine). It feels fantastic to be Read More
Caleb’s First Kiss, originally uploaded by StephLewis. My mom has this doll that sings “Twinkle Twinkle Little Star.” Caleb has always loved her Austrialian-sounding voice and the spunk with which she sings the song. He also loves to chew on her hair. That being said, when she sang to him today, he got so excited Read More
King, the Shetland pony, originally uploaded by JL!. He is SO cute! As you can see in this pic, he’s cleaned up a lot since when we first brought him home. And he’s a feisty little guy. When he’s with the girls, my dad’s two mares, he gets all prancy. His gaits are beautiful and Read More

Caleb and his Shoes 2, originally uploaded by StephLewis. Caleb went over by our front door and was playing with all of the shoes there. He especially likes my camo slip-ons because they have gold sparkly stars on them. Well, he started crawling away and I saw that he had taken off his own shoes Read More
When I lived in Cupertino, before baby, and was teaching art and finishing my master’s degree, I found myself frustrated by the mundane day-to-day things. One of my biggest peeves was unlocking my front door. It was more complicated than it needed to be. I’d usually get home late at night, and the yard light Read More
Caleb is quite verbal for his age. He says Mama, Dada, Ella, and All Done. His favorite word is Ella. He calls Henson Ella, he called my cousins puppy Ella, the neighbor’s dog is Ella, and when we go for a walk and hear dogs barking in the distance, he looks at me and proclaims, Read More
Using a Float Boat, originally uploaded by StephLewis. Caleb and I are doing a swim class on Thursday nights. It’s so much fun to see all the kids under 24 months swimming around. Caleb LOVES it and pretty much grins & kicks the whole time. Josh nabbed this pic of us in his floating boat Read More
