Go's logo that I designed.
Boo yah.
May May and Mama at her kindergarten class's Mother's Day Tea.
She made this corsage for me,
which
I dug.
The view out of May's classroom window. So PA.
Juni's gift to me on Mother's Day.
I cut spur-of-the-moment bangs,
which is how I do.
Olive fell asleep on something that was waffle-woven.
She didn't think it was as funny as I did.
PA is pretty.
Some of my spin class on my last day.
They threw a little going-away party for me.
One guy even made an apple pie from scratch.
That's real love right there.

More spinners.

my friends,
two of my faves
and the masterminds behind the party.
May lost her first tooth in the back of the car on the way to tap.

I still get a arts and crafts on here and there.
A classic early summer PA stormy sky.

It was more fun that it looks.

The family minus Juni.
Again with the glubbs.
Our last trip to NYC.
A cool gluten-free bakery we found for Rubes.
Outside of Balthazar, where I would leave my wallet on the bench
just seconds after snapping this picture.
My wallet was turned into the bakery by a good Samaritan and I retrieved it at the end of the day.
Honesty still exists, folks.
And in NYC, no less.
Juni in her stroller, right before getting rained on.
Our lunch: lobster rolls from The Lobster Place at Chelsea Market,
eaten around the corner up on Highline Park.
Highly recommend this.
Waiting for cousin Elise to get her cool self to dinner.
Dinner.
On our way back to the subway at the end of the day:
Olive sketched a penguin.
I love it.

One last chocolate induced coma/hurrah.
Hershey Kiss necklaces to always remind them of Hershey, PA.
What our POD looked like inside.
Ruby's teacher from 2nd grade, who will always be THE BEST,
came to visit us before we left.
PA has the best teachers! I loved our educational experience there.
My childhood, ladies and gentlemen.
Our last evening in PA.
Had to redeem that car wash coupon, you know.
We finally made it to CA.
Olive dancing with John and Joseph in my parent's kitchen.
Ruby at my parent's community pool,
where I spent hundreds of hours of my childhood.

He and I went sea glassing,
which I always love.
Water fights in the backyard.
Of course Ruby has the hose.
May duddled up at the beach.

being weird.

My BIL and SIL's place in Hana where we stayed,
which was dreamy, dreamy.
The backyard.
More of the yard.
The drive way.
This is the balcony where Go shot a mongoose point blank.
The studio.
Where the mongoose lay dying.
Our last day in Maui at our hotel.
Go putting our luggage into the car to go to the airport.
Sad stuff.
The last meal.
Contemplating his future over eggs benedict and stuffed french toast.
The view at breakfast.
Me, trying to decide how I feel about getting on the plane back to reality.
I decided.
The road to Vegas from Irvine.
Go putting up his many, many diplomas in his office.
The night he rocked a pony tail.
The Vegas sky on my birthday.
