OOOOOH boy....OOOOOH gosh.....hey babe, whoa back..beep beep



Good golly it has been some time since I last checked in to the GroundArt bloggage. Life is just cruising and doing exactly as they say when you have kids. THE DAYS ARE LONG BUT THE WEEKS/MONTHS/YEARS FLY BY. Sure as the manure on the bottom of your shoe.

I won't lie and say it was an easy winter. No,...it was tough. Long rainy weeks and lots and lots of colds....but when March and the sunny skies hit, boy did we get on with it! Life here in Marin has been very fun, rewarding, and difficult....wait...I think I said that back in November. Well....it has. Our daily seems to be early morns....coffee and breakfast with Fran. The beautiful wife wakes and starts her day about 1/2 hr prior to me shooting off to tug on some wires and fix somebodies electricity. They usually play all morning outside if the rain isn't falling....and our daughter loves her routine. A walk down to Muffin Mania....checking out all the famous stops along the way including the fairy bath (local neighbors fountain)....and sometimes the park. Of all the things they do and people they see...well it varies and I don't know them all but Katie and Francini have a great time living learning and loving life each and everyday. Some of which are difficult. Most are awesome. Frances can say basically anything she wants....however she mostly says a lot of what she hears all the time. Song repeats...sayings....things she wants....things she eats and names of people she knows. She BLOWS me away at how much she remembers!! I find myself in complete astonishment most of the time I am with her because of how much she already knows. Sure shows what a great job my wife is doing each day raising her.
Then....around 4pm or so, I get to come home and help out with the late afternoon shift which normally gives Katie a good break. Fran and I look in the garden or compost for bugs and worms (which she LOVES!) and blow bubbles or go on bike rides. She has recently become really attached to the neighbor girl across the street Eva and pretty much always wants to play with her if possible. Then for the rest of the evening we do our bedtime routine and put her down pretty early so she can be well rested for the next days adventure. Weekends we have been looking at houses....surfing and going to the beach on nice days....resting and prepping our craziness for another babe. Yep...you heard it. We are havin another.!!! So yippee to summer coming up and another beautiful life and fall warm months ahead. With no further rambling....I give you some pics of the last few months and thank you for stopping by. Peace.
