Golden Gate park is one of my favorite places in San Francisco. There's an amazing children's playground, and so many other things that we haven't even done yet! We went there one day with Conor's parents. I love watching Conor and Holly play together. He gets her to do so many things out of her comfort zone and they have so much fun together!
Happy Hollows is such a fun place for us. Both the girls love it and we always feel happy there! We're so glad Catherine could come with us. Holly had a big melt-down on the way there (she hadn't had a nap the day before), but we managed to make it in and enjoy ourselves. If you ask Holly is the roller coaster was fun, she'll tell you no, it was scary. But she loves it!
This past week, Conor's parents, Catherine and Jim, were in town visiting (so this week I'll be posting a ton of photos!). We had so much fun and had quite the full week. Our list of things we did was long, and the list of things we didn't do was even longer! The first day they were here, we ate a celebratory breakfast and then went to the beach. Welcome to California! I love where we live!
PS: I made my shirt.
Motherhood. Momma. Mommy. Me. A sacrifice, sometimes I feel like I'm losing myself, but it's the best thing I've ever done. There's nothing quite like looking into those big blue or brown eyes and seeing nothing but love. I have two little girls who love me completely on good days and bad. Slowly, I'm becoming a better person. Because I am a Momma.
The responsibility is huge and sometimes it rests heavy on my shoulders. How do I help Holly to be reasonable (especially since we're emotional twins)? Does Greta get enough love and attention from me? Am I playing with my girls enough? What will the future bring? This photo is so motherhood to me. Trying to guide my child as she plunders on without looking back. I don't want her to fall.
I made Holly a couple of pairs of Oliver+S puppet show shorts. I think they're so cute! For the chambray pair, I cut up a tunic I never really wear and I felt so clever doing it. Holly is extremely picky about her clothing, so it took lots of tries to get her into these. I made them out because they looked comfortable and they have pockets. What more could a toddler want? We still have a bit of drama when we want her to wear these shorts but at least she doesn't strip them off at mid-day!
