Favorite things

Things for which I am randomly thankful right this second, the nowhere-near-Thanksgiving edition.

ollie giving kisses on cue.

agave nectar. low glycemic!

being able to tell nelwyn "I've been totally bored, FYI" when her family was in town and therefore unable to waste the days away with us.

external flash.

the late-afternoon magical light soaring through the trees in between the tennis courts, the velodrome, and dog park at Morley field.

a friend's hand-me-down size 5 baby grass green converse high tops.

Amber Atkins. FYI, she'll most likely be on all of my lists like this because it's always a good day if I have quoted Drop Dead Gorgeous. and, she's the prettiest, the most talented, and the most smartest.

plotting out our back yard, a combination wildlife and wild-boy habitat. oh, and vegetables! oh, and native wetland!

cosleeping.

shelled hemp seed nuts. 11 grams of protein per tiny serving of soft, little miniscule buttery nutty seediness! omega 3s!

"when the birds are sleeping, that's when the trees sing." i sing, i swim by seabear. throw me a dream, please.

coffee shop workers knowing my drink and finishing my order sentence for me.

clean kitchen cabinet doors.

sleep.

old green soft and bendy flip flops.

my little family.

I think everyone who is reading this should go back to their own bloghomes and make their own lists (and post me a link!). happy happinesses to you all.

Pushing.

Pushing.

We just watched The Business of Being Born last night (get it, watch it, do it), but this post isn't about birthy pushing. It's about this:



(NOTE: please turn down your volume unless you want to hear me dorking out. I was trying to get Ollie to do this really cute thing he does where he babbles rapidly and sticks his tongue in and out. He didn't take the bait.)

Little less conversation.

Little less conversation.

So obviously my green hour documentation project has gone by the wayside, but that doesn't mean we haven't been doing it. I'm just not telling you about it. For several more remarkable green hour experiences/activities/whatevers, we took pictures, so I just decided to make a Flickr set for green hour. Hmm, I wonder if there's a flickr pool out there for this sort of thing.

Anyway, here are some of my favorite pictures lately:

let me at it, mama!




at Torrey Pines




And in other news, Ollie had Lucca, now a 1 year old!, over for dinner. His mama needed a little break.


More another time. I'm sitting in the car with him right now while he naps, and I really should be working on an editing project. Pretty soon we'll head over to Lucca's birthday party, and after that he's having his First Babysitter Experience. Well, if my parents count. We're leaving him with grandma and grandpa at night for the first time while we go to Jackie's wedding. I mean, Jackie and Craig's wedding. Yes! (Ex work girlfriend) Jackie and (ex work gay best friend) Craig are getting married! Oh, internet, we have so much catching up to do, don't we? One day I'll also tell you about how my ex work boyfriend turned carpool buddy Joel is having a baby and moved to the suburbs.
