wetlands love

we visited bolsa chica wetlands recently, this is a local wetlands that has really excited us to what los cerritos could become. it is a real success story and so beautiful to behold. the birds were screeching, the tide rolling in and we even saw a small shark lurking in the shallow water. thrilling!

Trail Seeker Desire: I desire, to seek the way, that shall become, a delight to my heart, for it will bring me, to the fire of human kindness, lighted by those, who have gone before me, on the camp fire trail

Our first Grand Council Fire! Moving from Trail Seeker to Wood Gatherer... Wo He Lo!!

friday off

carnival day

hair cut, visit with a good friend, carnival, dinner with all the kids and a nice evening catching up on tivo shows. tomorrow is our camp fire garage sale, hoping for a good turn out!

silverado cousins

we spent the day at silverado canyon, visiting cousins and enjoying the spring weather

what an enchanted place, i could easily live here! lucky we have relatives close by to visit! so of course we had to finish the day off with some yogurt at the newest yogurt shop... forget about dinner!

wendy crabb love

yes we love wendy crabb!

a special painting for lizzie, we love elephants! you can check out a cool video of the painting here. wendy crabb is the coolest, nicest and most rad artist ever. i highly recommend her! we are hoping for a polar bear painting for emily in the near future... and on another note, here is my neutral doll. stolen from someone somewhere

this was just a first draft and quickie sew job. liz thankfully loves it and embellished it with her own face and clothes (photo to come later). i just drew it out right on the fabric and sewed it up. this i also highly recommend. it was fast, fun and easy!

game warden camp fire meeting

we had an awesome meeting tonight with a game warden who spoke about her job, protecting the local wildlife. it was very informative and made me re think my own career (as usual)

this weekend is grand council fire, our big end of the year celebration and this year is almost over. three years in camp fire, three years blogging, wow!

a few more of my grandma, she was something, huh? because emily was the first grandkid and my grandpas first great grand kid, we used rose as her middle name. he always thought that was very special and i am so glad he was young enough to appreciate that. my grandparents always seemed happy and close, also a little wild and daring. it has been a great gift to stumble on to these photos and i cant wait to see more.
