Hobo Kitchen
A while ago I tried to talk Craig into buying Dillon a fancy play kitchen but he wasn't into it. So I did the next best thing: I made one out of cardboard boxes. Order up!

| Nuking some stuff. |
 |
| Safety first: always wear an oven mitt! |

Company Picnic
Each year my company is nice enough to have a summer family event. This year we had a picnic at Shelter Island complete with yummy food, a bounce house (with Valium for the parents) and tattoos!

Essential Kid Gear
A few months ago Craig was out on the town. It was that night Zeus decided, for the first time ever, to inhale half a box of diaper wipes. Dillon was already in her PJs so I told her to grab her shoes we raced to the vet. Naturally she paired her PJs with some sparkly dress shoes.

| Out for a hike. |
 |
| Rain! I knew it was a real thing. |

San Juan Cap Mission
A few times a year we head up to Orange County to meet friends who head down from L.A. This time it was Tasha, Kurt, Crosby and new girl Etta. We went to the San Juan Capistrano Mission, which was beautiful, and then had lunch--complete with balloon animals!
