Item 1: Dragons. Or Sharks, T-Rexes, monsters... anything that roars. There is a lot of that going on these days!
Item 2: Greta got her first haircut! I thought they were only cutting her hair, but it turns out they also removed her infancy, as she emerged from the chair a toddler.
Item 3: Barrett's tattoos. These "temporary" glow-in-the-dark tats were applied 3 weeks ago. They are STILL on there, barely faded at all. But I think they have stopped glowing, so that's a start! (You think this is bad, his little buddy Ollie had twice as many, including a skull with flames coming out of it on his tummy, a spider on one forearm, and a snake on the other one.) Greta got off easy, with one little tribal band around her wrist that I painstakingly removed over several baths.
Item 4: Our couples trip to Monterey, CA. Steve and I had a much needed vacation that included biking around the beautiful town for a day, then going for a beach picnic at Big Sur, followed by a wonderful dinner, then wine tasting in Carmel Valley the next day, with our dear friends James and Mandy Bell. A big, BIG thanks to Grammi and Grampi Gartner for coming out to stay with the kids in our absence. It was our first trip away from them, and it allowed me to actually sleep at night knowing they were so well taken care of.
Item 5: The other event of our trip was Steve's big race in the Category 5 Men's road race at the Sea Otter Classic. The race was well over 40 miles and very hilly. I was so proud when I watched him cross the finish line! Here he is starting the race. (White jersey, in between the yellow and red ones).
