August!
Wow, it’s August!! I’ve been running low on creative energy (i.e. kids are draining the life out of me) so I haven’t been around. Our sunflower bloomed! YAY I still can’t believe that thing grew in that little pot. Today we got a cactus from Ikea. I believe it is impossible to walk into Ikea [...]

visit to the farm
Last week we went to visit Ardenwood Farm in Fremont to see the animals with the Multiracial/Biracial Meet Up Group. There is a minimal admission fee, lots of picnic tables and free parking!
