We have been busy this past week:

We celebrated my birthday.

Jason went rockhounding in the desert for three days looking for prehistoric shark's teeth (He found 60!)

We ate chinese dumplings and pastries in Chinatown.

We celebrated Pipo's second birthday this year (-;

Jude took a whole bunch of naps, many of which only lasted 10 minutes.

I finished a bunch of handmade Christmas cards.

Isabella, Jude and I danced to loud music in the living room.

We watched the movie 'Elf'.

Ate dinner at 'Los Cantaros' for Thanksgiving & then baked two pumpkin pies & ate some. Yum.

We went to the zoo with some friends.

Post office. Grocery store. Library.

Candles and incense and Christmas lights.

Many hours of babywearing.
