At the bus stop on the way home from school. Our car was in the shop.
Sponge curlers + smoothie = cutie.
I LOVE this picture!
Rahr!
Pyramid?
The quintessential photo op at the sign. Happy graduation!
The view of Santa Cruz.
For our anniversary, a friend watched our kids, and we did what we've always wanted to do since we got here: walk along the beach without our kids. We actually got to go at our own pace and hold hands and have free reign of the binoculars - all things we can't do with the kids. Then I looked out and saw what I thought was a shark fin.
Soon, a lady biked by, saying there were dolphins out there! I couldn't get very good pictures, but we ended up seeing 4 of them!
It was so amazing! We saw them jump out of the water and everything!
Sorry I couldn't capture it in the pictures, but we were so excited, and watched them for a long time. It was REALLY cool!
Aside from the dolphins, Paul loved watching the waves, and I loved all the huge pelicans.
Then we went to dinner at a Middle Eastern place with a courtyard filled with plants and vines and lights and outdoor heaters. It was so fun!
Paul got the beef kebab with saffron/basmati rice.
I got chicken in pomegranate sauce with roasted potatoes and broccolini. Yum!
Fun anniversary date!
Thursday was Grace's last day of kindergarten.
She and Alice both got cute with sponge curlers.
Can you tell it's cold and sunny?
We all took Grace to school for her last day.

Then the whole class went on a field trip to the park. Alice and I protected ourselves from the sun.
Grace LOVED Ms. Allabach. If you're worried she didn't challenge the kids enough, just ask Grace all the parts of a plant, or about rectangular prisms.
Alice is a cute kid.
Catalina and Grace.
Laeti, Grace, and Amos. She said her goodbyes, and kindergarten was over.
Charlie's first banana. He wasn't that into it.
We went to a princess/pirate birthday party on Saturday for four kids in the ward turning 3 within 6 weeks of each other.
Grace dressed herself.
Alice wore this dress all through the party, but insisted on riding home naked!
Pirate Charlie.
