california calling, pt. 1.

We took our first trip as a family of four last month, and despite a weary plane ride, it was a joy. I don't know if it's just being out of Brooklyn, or if California really is a golden land of happiness and sunshine, but we all enjoyed ourselves. No one more than Lil, of course. Our first stop was Santa Cruz, where we surprised Uncle Jeremy, Josie and Liam (Aunt Sarah knew we were coming). Daddy has footage of how we completely shocked Josie, and I hope to swipe in from him soon enough. In the mean time, I have some amazing photos that I didn't take (Dada had camera duty this trip), all ready to share. I honestly cannot share them all at once because they are so beautiful I might just slap someone. So we'll do little bites.

I just caaaaaann't with this girl.

(And thank you to Eban for capturing Lil's loveliness... and you even got one or two decent shots of her mama too, which we know can be a challenge!)

weary wee flipperling

Lil got these duck slippers for her first birthday, and although they're a novelty item, I can't convince her to take them off. Or put anything else on. I doubt that has much to do with the ducky slippers though...

motions

I'm not exactly sure how, but the little one managed to roll over then move herself from 3 o'clock to about 9 o'clock. And she did all that before getting dressed and putting on makeup.

roll call

So for the time being I've kind of moved over to instagram to keep track of pics, since I barely have time to pick up a non-phone camera, let alone edit and upload any shots. So here's my instangram "roll" that's all saved to my phone (in no particular order). I did pick up a real camera today, so here's hoping I can get a chance to upload some beautiful shots of these lovely little ladies soon.
