Cassiel doing pull ups with Papa at the park. She is madly in love with her Papa these days. Alejandro turned into a puddle the first time he heard her say Papa. It was really precious.

We spent a long weekend in Santa Cruz in May to visit with Grammy and Grandpa.

But mostly we went to see Godmommy Keidi and Baby Annea and Aunt Terry who was recently diagnosed with cancer. It's turned everyone's world upside down and made life feel more fragile and infinitely more precious.

Bless the little ones - they are sweetly ignorant and give us so much joy.

I'm so bad at documenting big life events - must get better at that. We went to Baby Noah's blessing and I'm realizing I don't have any pictures of Noah. Which is particularly a shame because Alex and Cassiel are so cute with him; they just adore him. He's super cute and so, so sweet. We love you, Noah.

But here's Grandpa, Chef Rich, with Cassiel at Noah's party...

A random weekday morning. Love these moments.
