team chait (hawk, allison, max, and nina) graced us with a short but very sweet visit a few weeks ago. we love this family and miss them terribly.
mayan is sure she will be marrying max when they are older. we took the kids to omsi.
the Nomad shirts have arrived!
B is actually quite silly on occasion.
this is where george-ephraim takes his mid-day naps--our friend rich made this baby hammock and it rules! the grasshopper mobile is from a jeweler that blake knows and it also rules.
very special--all of the cousins from the perlingieri side come together (mayan, chemynne holding george, athena, and isadore)
it was a great day for a family reunion!
avia brought mayan a rocking chair from england (and she literally bought it in england and lugged it here) circa 1870. happy early birthday, mg!
keeping it together!
avia reading a bedtime story to all of her grandkids
the breeders (minus a napping baby g)
running with scissors
more stories
my boys with matching haircuts
avia taught mayan how to crochet
ilya and her children, blake and chemynne, together again. pretty special father's day.
so many sweet faces!
beware of the dreaded kitty-pirate!
and look at these fierce bucaneers!
mr. man is all smiles these days. he's so handsome!! yum yum yum!
ancient secret of happy babies and long naps: swaddle and bundle. (we noticed this in the book celebrating babies, that nearly all tribal newborns are swaddled then tied to keep the swaddle in place--this not only calms babies but also helps them sleep sounder by protecting them from their own flailing limbs.)
happy solstice everyone!
