My computer miraculously repaired itself! I tried to use it just to back up some photos and stuff before taking it in for "surgery" and now its working fine! I'm sure it will have the same problem again, but at least I can update this real quick!

Everything has been good with all of us. Busy beyond imagination, but manageable and fulfilling busy. Busy grooming dogs, busy at Lilianas. Busy children, busy garden, busy chickens, busy home needing spring cleaning. busy busy busy.

But in between washing and sorting mountains of laundry (have i mentioned that in addition to regular laundry for four people I also have cloth diaper laundry and dog grooming towels, slipcovers for couches and throw blankets and table cloths and chef coats and...sigh..laundry) anyway, between loads of laundry, washing dishes and cooking meals...grooming dogs and paying bills and running out for odds and ends for the restaurant, in there somewhere we find ways to bond and learn and find joy in the little every day moments.

Here are a few pics from the last week or so

field trip to Schusters Playtime Farm:

Lily's end of the school year celebration: (click to make it bigger- she's in a green dress)

Lily's 4 year old check up (yes, she's 4.5, we get around to stuff late sometimes, okay?!)

Still broken laptop. Sad face.

It's forced me to figure out lots of fun new ways to utilize the iPad dave received as a birthday gift last year (thanks papa and rahrah!)


Miss everyone. Its the most amazing and inspiring time of year here. I wish air transportation was cheaper and more convenient because I want to share this feeling with my california peeps.

Everyday new plants appear in my yard.. Our pool is gradually changing from a swampy green to an almost swimmable blue. Chickens are growing big and strong and anxiously await the completion of their outside home. Seedlings are getting settled in garden beds and promise lots of delicious veggies and herbs later this year.

Our apple trees just burst into blossoms this week and they smell amazing.

Field trips to farms and thinking about summer camps. It's the most wonderful time of the year.


It's also the most wonderful time of the year because we are getting to know the funny, bright little bundle of curious fun that is Charlie. He's been sleeping well, learning new things, and being loving and adorable.

We love you, little man.



The daddy son bond is beyond amazing. These guys love each other like crazy.
