Just hanging out

Laughing with my boys...

Supper club

We have been having or making dinner with friends at least once a month for almost a year now. Tonight was Mongolian barbecue family dinner and it was delicious!

I also got to try out Ellie's new mattress, which has confirmed my belief that I need to buy a new mattress!

Planning for Italy

I woke up early this morning so excited for the trip! I've started this "calendar" to keep track of who, what, when, and where. Yay!!

Busy, fun weekend

Our weekend began on Friday at the Oakland Museum of California. We ate at the food trucks and then visited the special quilt show.

After a hearty breakfast Saturday morning, I went on my first long bike ride in quite a while: 40ish miles with my friend Ellie. We rode through rain and sunshine on muddy paths and city streets. It was awesome!

Sunday was grocery shopping, the gym, and a busy day of little projects. Brit installed my bike rack (yay!) and I made t-shirts and dresses for the kiddos. I even figured out how to put words onto and then print my own photo from Yosemite to put on a shirt!

My photo on a shirt!!

Lots of fun clothes for the kiddos!

I love El Niño

Sure my morning run is chilly and wet, but it is so worth it!

Yay rain!

The cabin

I realized I've never posted a picture of the actual cabin! Here it is at it's finest:

New Years in Tahoe

Brit and I joined his parents and niece at the Tahoe cabin this weekend for some relaxation and family time in the snow. 

We have no propane because the truck couldn't get across the icy bridge, so we are heating with fires and a space heater and not taking showers (no hot water).

It is an unbelievably beautiful place in the winter.

We played a great game of scrabble before eating black eyed pea soup (HORRAY for the crock pot!) and watching "The Empire Strikes Back"! 

Brit and I will wander around town a bit today before heading back to Oakland. I hope your New Year's Eve and weekend were great!
