DATE NIGHT (WITH CAPTIONS)

After a long time of thinking about it, (and a few failed attempts)  Erick and I were finally able to sneak in a date night yesterday.  It felt so good to get out of the house for a few hours, but I'm not even kidding, the WHOLE time all we could talk about was our baby!  I'm sure that's a given now at this point, though.

The place we drove up to was Paddy Long's, a hidden little joint up in the Northside.  Three words- bacon and beer.  Paddy Long's has a special that is unique to their pub where you come and taste five different beers paired with five delicious strips of bacon from around the globe.  I never imagined how awesome of an idea it was to eat bacon as you drank a beer, but I AM AWARE now.  Erick and I shared a few rounds and ate way too much food... seriously.  Check out Paddy Long's menu and read the description of the bacon bomb.  Yeah, I told you.  That is some Epic Meal Time if I've ever seen it.  To top the night off, as we were having our last beer, the power in the bar went out and we were able to sit romantically by candlelight and enjoy each other's company for a few more minutes.

So what does Sofia think about all this?  Let's just say it probably won't be happening anytime soon.  The girl is smart.  It's like she knows when we're getting ready to leave her because the chill, well- mannered baby we had turned into an inconsolable crying troublemaker in the matter of a few days.  I could just picture what was going on inside her tiny little head:


OH HAI MOM AND DAD!  I LOVE YOU I LOVE YOU!  ARE YOU GOING TO STAY AND PLAY WITH ME?


OH. YOU WANT TO GO ON A DATE, HUH?  LET ME CALL MY SECRETARY SEE IF I CAN PENCIL YOU IN ANOTHER TIME.


HI, SECRETARY.  MOM AND DAD WANT TO DATE.  AM I FREE IN A FEW HOURS?


HMM... I AM? ARE YOU SURE? CUS I REEEALLY WANT THEM TO STAY.


OKAY!  I LOVE YOU ANYWAY!  SEE YOU IN A FEW HOURS!

    I'll see if I can manage that... Lol. Erick has yet to stand infront of a camera for a pic yet let one write anything... Plus I only have one adorable person to take pics of while he's working! Haha. But I will try. I know too many baby pics everyday can get annoying!

Easter Weekend

Hello! Happy mid-week to you. This is the roll of photos we shot over our Easter weekend , and oh what a wonderful weekend it was. It was so nice to have family here to visit - even if the weather was cooler than we anticipated! We visited the redwoods in Felton, ate vegetarian burritos, went to the epic shoreside in Montara, and the brewing company in Half Moon Bay. Our hearts are full and our home is feeling quite empty now ;) As a side note, I've found a renewed love with film. This is a post for another time, but it bears mentioning here! There has been much on my mind re: photography, and hopefully this will be the space I can share that. For the curious, all the above were shot on a Nikon FM10 with Fuji Superia 400 speed film.

bump : week 33

The cold weather made being able to see my burgeoning baby bump over the layers of clothing nearly impossible, but it didn't stop us from going and having an adventure.  Yesterday Erick, Sofia, baby and I took a hike in a muddy forest just outside of the city.  Baby is stronger than ever, jabbing and kicking with such force that sometimes all I can do is just sit down and laugh.  My belly will bounce and ripple, and every now and again I'll catch Sofia or Erick looking over with a wide-eyed stare.  We can't wait to find out who it is that's growing in here and causing such a ruckus! The reality is truly starting to set in, and I've been reading up a lot on water birth and catching up on episodes of The Midwives I've downloaded (I cry every time!)  This pregnancy journey has been so much fun.  Relaxed, exciting, and fun. Huge smile! WEARING: KNIT DRESS IN BLACK BY AMERICAN APPAREL  |  PHOTOS: BY ERICK ...

Hello, It's Me

* screeeeeeech.... opens door * Hello? Are you in there? I'm baaaaaaack! Holy shnikeys! It's only been a good two years or so. Talk about a blogging hiatus. So, after many many failed attempts at fancy Squarespace sites and having absolutely zero direction on which way I wanted to go, I found myself right back here. Good 'ol blogger. Good 'ol free simple template. Good 'ol feed with all my old friends. It's been a long, long time. And it feels weird! But I'm dusting off the cobwebs anyway and just writing because I need to. Plain and simple. Now, a few things-- the blog title is a bit different. My kiddos are nearly three and five years old so diapers [thankfully] are a thing of the past. Hallelujah! And if you haven't heard, folks, skinny jeans are out. They're done! Bring on the bellbottoms, culottes and 90's fashion revival. You heard it here first, everyone. Just wait.  Also. Growing up. I kinda laugh at how much...
