independence AND dependence, respectively!

Alyza and I visited an organic winery in Carmel Valley. Due to a power outtage we got a free sandwich for two and extra (really expensive) Malbec for free! Yes! Then to top it off we napped in the sun in Heller's sculpture garden. Talk about peaceful!

"wheeeeeeeeeee!" he loves swings. and i love his crazy hair!!!

big sur & 17-mile drive in carmel

around here.

My new hermit crab set-up. I got 3 since they are colony animals. One is named Hermione and the other two are yet to be named. Any suggestions? Lincoln and Archie are fascinated by them. The two of them are like peas-in-a-pod.

Head-banging on Dad! Maybe not such a good idea!

Our balcony. Lincoln has become clever and coerces me and Josh back to the door as if he wants in only to quickly sneak off to try to practice the stairs. Thankfully, we're still faster than him. However, he's getting very strong and I can only imagine what it will be like when he is an even heavier and stronger toddler. Oh man...terrible twos are coming! Yikes!

Peek-a-boo!

Enjoying Carmel

even further south!

After we (thankfully) left LA we drove down to San Diego to visit our friends. We went to dog beach, hung out with several AWESOME people, ate at some of our favorite restaurants, strolled around Balboa park, and stayed up too late! Lincoln was relentless with the pigeons (see above)!

It says "mom and dad love lincoln" but you know who destroyed mom!

yay dirt! and tall trees!

he is a professional cart pusher. the only items he intended to purchase were two boxes of cookies!

Down South!

This past weekend we visited my brother in LA and my dad, Ashley, and Jordan who had flown in for a visit. We went out to eat several times and went to Venice beach on Sunday. (fyi...Venice beach = nasty)!

Buried alive!

The cutest man ever!

Wondering if the waves are worth it!
