What's up Putty Tat

Today, Tom started a new job! I am very happy for him. It was nice having him home for a bit. I think Fi was a bit sad. She loved having extra time with Daddy to ride bikes to school and push her on the swing. His new job is with Extole, and it is in SF - a longer commute but he really likes the people there and we both think that is worth the drive (or sometimes train ride!).

I have been doing some interesting marketing consulting work for a company that was started by an x-colleague of mine and it has been a great addition to my life.

My mom is staying with us right now while she begins her journey of relocating near us! She is getting used to the driving around here, becoming more confidant and learning where the grocery store, gas, Dr. all are. It is a big adjustment!

Kids are both doing great - I am loving watching their relationship develop. It amazes me that at Gabe's young age that he already interacts with Fi so well, they love each other and play together - and it amazes me when I see it. They are a lot of fun. My neighbor told me that he will save is biggest smiles for her, and she was right. Here they are playing with the curtain:

Fi found my costume, and doesn't she look adorable!
All the food that he doesn't want never gets wasted....
Went to this hippie meeting with some hippie friends :-) and Fi got her face painted. Here she is laying down like a the kitty she is.
Fi took this pic of lavender with a little bit of guidance from me. I worked on getting her to get closer!
Hippie circle and Gabe's put me down face! I guess Gabe's not much of a hippie dude.
Fi holding a friendly chicken! Another women helped us get the chicken and hold it, not a skill I am blessed with.
Hope you are all doing well! Miss you! xoxo C, T, Fi and G
