Early October, 2019

We’ve been having a great time around here with beach sunsets, Jui Jitsu (this is the last pic I’ll have of Luke in his blue gi, he got a new white one a few days ago) and Jeff doing a TON of work on Luke’s vending machine Halloween costume. (It’s not done yet but the rest of the work is mine.)

We also had company for the past 5 days, yay! Ryan who I used to surf with in San Francisco (and down south with my brother Luke) and his 15-year-old daughter Carmen, we surfed and hung out on the beach every day with my kids who are out of school for the week, it was awesome. Also made it to the luau and Monkeypod for dinner one night (followed by cookie shopping). It was so, so fun to have them here!

A story about Zo. We got on the topic of what life would be like if I wasn’t around.

Zo, excited: “There would be a lot more screen time and a lot more treats. And a lot less vegetables.”

Me: “Sounds like it would be pretty great!”

Zo: “It seems like it would. But really…it wouldn’t. It’s much better with Mommy around.”

Happy Friday!
