trick or treat







I never was one to get overly excited about Halloween.  As I was younger it was a time for partying, (as most holidays are) and dressing up in ridiculous costumes.  After becoming a mother, I realized it was much more fun to dress up your child and see the look on their face when they experience the horrific joy that is candy... lots and lots of candy.  We trekked out and about in the chill of the autumn night, headed around town with Sofia and family to try our luck in a bit of trick-or-treating.  The air was a sharp difference from our beach day, much cooler with a breeze that nipped our ears.

We all headed home at the end of the night with pinched red cheeks and watery eyes.

Though she wasn't able to fully say "trick or treat," Sofia proved to be very good at saying "thank-ooo" to all the nice people that were putting candy in her basket, and telling them "bye-bye!" as she left.  We had so much fun celebrating this year, it really was the first time that we were able to participate in the holiday.

Such fun!

My favorite highlight:  Trying to touch Sofia's candy basket- she wouldn't let anyone get too close.

    Amazing! We don't really celebrate Halloween here in Australia but I lived in Montreal for two years and it was my favourite holiday. I think it is so much fun to dress up and eat lollies and everyone seems to be so open to creativity and generosity.

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 ...

alba growing: one month

A few weeks ago, Little Alba turned a month old - still so new and tiny, but a precious soul that seems like she's been here all along.  Her thighs are quickly chunking up, as are her cheeks, and this mama can't get enough! The days are long and my time is stretched thin, but we are having such a wonderful time just figuring each other out. When evening hits, the tummy troubles begin and we rock and sing to make the gas bubbles go away. Once you've finally fallen asleep, you'll remain that way for the remainder of the night and we'll feed again once the day breaks.  You are alert and learning, constantly filling our hearts with more love than we ever imagined.
