the great catch-up

It's occurred to me that I haven't actually blogged in, uh, a while. So here we go with operation catch-up!
My sister and her boyfriend (Inka & Kai, Inkai for short) are visiting right now, so we've been doing touristy things.
We've gone to a regional park. I had never been there before, which is ridiculous because it's really close to my house and very pretty:


We also went for a hike in the local mountains. I got to try out my new baby carrier (I gave in and bought the Ergo, and - predictably - love it).

We even happened upon some (admittedly pretty thawed-looking) snow. Kai had just returned from a skiing trip, so he was unimpressed. I, on the other hand, was veeeeery excited.


Yes. Shorts and tank tops. That is how we do March in So Cal, snow and all.
Noah is a big fan of drawstrings, and Inka was happy to oblige:


Aaaaaaand now it's almost midnight and I'm going to bed. We're visiting the Wild Animal Park tomorrow...
(silly blog template... click on the pictures to see the whole thing (and more) on flickr.)

Hallelujah!

After two of the worst nights of Noah's life, we have a tooth. It's one of the best teeth I've ever encountered, and I'm proud to have it. As a matter of fact, I think I will call him Fang.
Now for the challenge of taking a picture of Fang...
