summer hols

10 days at a beach house on the coast of northern Brazil with the fam.

something new

Between having 3 sisters and going to all girls middle and high schools, the list of things I know anything about has never included anything remotely boy related. Since one will be joining us in a few months, I guess its time to figure it out.

To make the task less daunting I'll start with the important things - like decorating for boys. I'm discovering that even dinosaurs can be cute.

estate planning extraordinaire

I've officially gone solo.

Happy 4th

Nothing like celebrating the USA with Italian pizza and Brazilian limeade. Oh well - the swimming part felt terribly American.

Grilled pizza instructions here. We'll have to ask Jess about the limeade.

Also a highlight

Having this guy as our tour guide for the weekend.

I ate my way through San Fransisco

Highlights included dinner with old friends and pastries from Tartine in the park for breakfast.

Mustache-querade

This girl threw a mustache-querade for Josh's 30th.

The only possible setting where TJ could ever win 'best moustache'.
