Gus is ONE

I can't believe how quickly the past year has been. One minute, he's a little alien attached to mom's boob, and the next minute he's scooting around on his bottom, jabbering away in his alien language. On September 21, we celebrated his first birthday. Now I guess I'm realizing that he's human, and he even looks like me. Not a big surprise, but he ate his whole birthday cake slice in about 10 seconds, and then looked around for more. You can't help but love him.

Nanny's farm

We just returned from a fabulous, weeklong visit to Nanny's farm in Half Moon Bay. I got to sleep in a cabin with Nanny and Rosy-the-dog all to myself. I also had fun milking the goat, harvesting fresh organic vegetables and fruits, feeding apples to the horses, hiking, four-wheeling with daddy, playing on the beach, and reading books in the sunny chair. Honestly, can you beat a vacation like that?
