Clara had a week
where she wanted to go to school in disguise. She spent all morning putting
just the right ensemble together. It involved sunglasses and a sweatshirt tied
around her shoulders. She thought she looked super spy cool, little did she
realize she looked like an OC housewife heading to tennis.
Ben is now a
yellow belt and we are proud of his hard work and focus. Clara started taking
karate as well and loves it. Let’s just say it is going over much better than
ballet!
We house and
doggy sat at our old stomping grounds for a week. It was wonderful to have some
space to spread out a little and once again enjoy the incredible view from
David and Judy’s deck.
Lauren and Jules
came up from LA for a visit. We took advantage of the gorgeous weather with an
afternoon at Butterfly Beach.
We said good-bye
to Clara’s fish Goldie after what felt like the longest, most dramatic fish
death, ever. Goldie held on, floating on her back but still breathing and
swishing her tail, oh so slowly for two days. We held a little service for her and Mark officiated “From ocean to ashes” rest in peace little Goldie.
The school
carnival is a highlight of spring for the kids. This year they even got to try
out surfing. Leah worked a shift in the lemonade stand (alongside a dear
Westmont friend, Ann Tro) and Mark did what any good carnival dad does, lugged
around all the stuff.
And just like
that, it’s May!
