Francesca's eye surgery

She is going in tomorrow to get her tear duct fixed. We go in at 6:30 am and surgery is about 8. It is out patient but has to be general anesthesia. Send us prayers or thoughts or vibes or any or all of the above!

Francesca is drawing GG a card

One of many-- now mom just needs to get them in the mail!

Self portrait

While about 100 of this same basic picture was being taken, Francesca organized a Bar-bar-Q and trick-or treat walk. This event is still ongoing.

Francesca enjoys Blaize's present from Nana and Pawpa

A water writing contraption. The real fun is filling up the reservoirs on the water pens. At least the 'ink' is non-staining!

What form, what grace!

That little blur with perfect form bouncing in the background is Francesca Margot.

This is the skeleton of a baby whale

I wouldn't have known this of course, but fisherman types around the Port Orford dock filled us in.

My favorite chair in Port Orford

Taking in a place like this, the wonder and awesome thunder of the ocean, I just don't understand how I could possibly not be living on the coast all the time. And then, somehow, I go back to where ever I'm living. But someday. Someday...

A spider, two octopuses and an alligator at the bottom

This was all going to be an apple, but Francesca's artistic vision shifted.

Blaize loves the foam pit!

He is a rock star in his new gymnastics class!

Here's the front page of the Port Orford paper

(where I am for work- show is recorded tonight- airs tomorrow at noon)

These ice plants take me waaaay back

I remember crushing them and using them for hop scotch markers
In 2nd grade in Del Mar...
