Oh Berkeley the Beautiful....

Berkeley is a place of unexpected wonder, you never expect to see a bunch of apples on a front porch, and there is always the question, are these for me?











Spring has arrived at the Farmers Market..

The checked in dad...

Tonight the Dad came home and was handed over a tired, squirmy and ornery little boy. Oh what a dad he is, he took that little guy, and loved the heck out of him.
This is one AWESOME dad.

Oh the wonder of a Humming bird caught still...

It is so rare to get a good photo of Asher. Perhaps I am not the

best photographer, or perhaps and more likely, he moves so fast from the time he wakes until we turn the lights off for bedtime. I love his energy, it is the annoyance that I love the best. I believe that it is this energy that will turn into something great. He will use this energy to create someday instead of destroy, which he does freely now. I will admit that a smile given to me by Asher is a treasure too often taken for granted in the running around and business of the day, but it is always wonderful to stop and admire him. Asher is a joy to me!

It is not uncommon to see her dance...

Going in feet first...

I don't post on this site often, my life with Asher and Dinah seems to fly by faster than I would like. This photo of us on the Beach was taken sometime in January or December 2011, Asher is 4 and Dinah 2. This was an impromptu, give the kids a nap in the car, trip to, Moss Beach, after I landed from a weekend trip to Chicago by myself. The day was so beautiful, and we had the beach practically to ourselves. Being the brave and wonderful mommy that I am, I agreed to put feet in the water with the Kids, anyone who has been to the Pacific Ocean in the winter is nodding when I say, that only a mothers love would compel me to do such a thing. Our feet were so cold I wanted to cry, but the gentle waves, amazing view, and the squeals of delight from Dinah and Asher were enough to keep me in the moment.

Hanging out With Friends

At a recent Friday night dinner at Tatiana's and Seth's house. Thanks to Nowell Wisch (aka. Dad) for taking photos of the Cohen's and their friends.

Here are some pictures of Asher from November.



Asher and his cousin Savannah get musical.

Why does everybody hang up on me???
