I was given the incredible opportunity to witness by friend, Crystal, give birth to their second child, while she was at home, in a tub, without drugs. Precious, beautiful, intense, scary, wonderful, amazing. These don’t even scratch the surface. Eric, praying over Crystal. The death grip 🙂 Welcome baby Aria!

David and the boys collaborated to make me a lovely breakfast in bed. I spent the day watching my favorite shows. It was lovely. ‘R’ actually took it upon himself to stuff the raspberries with blueberries!

12!! What?! 12!!! The day started with our tradition of the birthday boy eating whatever he wants for breakfast.  ‘R’s choice this year… Little Caesar’s Bacon Wrapped Pepperoni Pizza and Shirley Temple. Ugh. He was very happy 🙂 We went to Studio Movie Grill for lunch and saw Batman v. Superman, then cupcakes for dessert!

The Monterey Bay Aquarium sets aside about five days a year for homeschoolers. The tickets are free and by reservation. I was unable to get tickets, but a friend gave me hers. Another friend of mine had tickets the same day so we made it a road trip together! …and we’re off, early morning! Bagels […]
