[photography] is a “flipbook”

[life] is growing up too fast

Merrik is growing up right before my eyes. I can’t believe how ‘old’ he looks in these frames. Thank goodness I have captured so many moments like this to go back through and remember how little he once was!

[life] is a couple of monkeys

Merrik has been obsessed with Curious George lately and when he saw these monkey pjs he just had to have them-for himself and for Maliea. I think it is very sweet that he thinks of her too. Of course hers are pink and his aren’t. Oh and by the way, he is also obsessed with Maliea.

[life] is hibernation day

I was so lucky to help at Merrik’s preschool on one of the days they were learning about bears. All the kids showed up in their pjs and brought their bears to class with them. The bears ended up “sleeping over” at the school all weekend long.

Merrik is anxiously waiting to see how big a mess they made at the shool while he was at home. He also told me that he really missed his bear and when we had a thunderstorm pass through he wondered if his bear was scared.

They made bear claws at the science table and had pancakes for snack. I love preschool. Can I just keep him there forever?

[life] is inside

It has been raining here all week which is an extremely rare occurrence. If we do get rain it’s usually for only a day or two. The week has been filled with lots of indoor activities that is starting to grow old. It just makes us all appreciate so much more than we already do the lifestyle that we have here in Southern California. I love the rain and wish we had a little bit all year round but the deluge we have had lately has kept me from driving far. The roads in our area are not great in the rain and neither are the drivers so I hesitate to spontaneously hop in the car for a trip to the mall or other indoor entertainment.

So our week consisted of a trip to the local paint your own ceramics place, Fired Up, Kids Day Out, Serra Preschool and a friend’s house in Laguna Niguel whom I haven’t seen in over a year. Merrik loved painting at the ceramics place and Maliea loved eating cupcakes with newly discovered friends Lana and Lydia.

[life] is bikes and beaches

Redundancy is prominent in our lives right now: watching and rewatching Curious George, Dinosaur Train, Polar Express and other movies; reading and rereading Meet Kai Lan and Brown Bear, Brown Bear. Our other redundancy is the beach: bikes, swings ocean and sand. With it in our backyard it’s feels weird to not go.

Later the same day we met up with friends that we haven’t seen since October and the kids had a blast playing on the berms of sand built up by the lifeguard dozer and on the closed up lifeguard towers.

I love these of Noah running to the water and waiting for the waves to settle before heading out for a quick surf. He was hesitant to go out because the fog was so thick most of the time we were there but it finally lifted right before sundown.
