| may brought marleys third birthday! joon and i couldnt believe that three years had gone by so fast, but its true. this year instead of a big party marley invited his best friend, tulio, to the zoo for the day and over for some nemo cake and ice cream after. the two boys had so much fun running through the oakland zoo and riding the rides after. it was so special to watch and i am still annoyed at myself for somehow erasing the pictures from that day. marley got a tee ball set for his birthday and has been having a blast with it out in the back yard. early june brought with it many happenings at the renaissance school, one of which is the annual art show they have for the kids. here is marley with his two pieces that were featured in the gallery. one is called, walrus with big long teeth, and the other is an untitled paper sculpture. the pictures below are from fathers day which we celebrated at del valle reservoir. joon had wanted to go fishing but they were out of licenses for the day, so he was out of luck. but since marley is just a little guy he was allowed to fish so we spent the day watching him enjoy himself and having a picnic lunch. i am about eight and a half months pregnant in these pictures. |








| at this point, time is just flying by. between the end of the year at school and this pregnancy and keeping up with things around the house there doesnt seem to be time for much else. we have mangaged to have some good times throughout the craziness though! dad came out for a visit over the long fourth of july weekend and somehow we managed to cram in a trip to the zoo, a baseball game, fireworks, a day in san francisco, and some shopping. all that on top of eating really well and hanging out here at home. joon was gone for half of the weekend to a wedding in la (congrats lauren and jerry!) and dad came out so i wouldnt spend the weekend by myself so close to the end of the pregnancy, just in case. the last two pictures are me, nine months pregnant wandering around in the redwood forest by our house with marley and joon. |
