My boyz...

I am so filled with bliss right now watching Shan and Luccas relationship go to a new level. Obviously, they've always adored each other, but lately they are truly in love with each other, madly. It may have something to do with the fact that Lucca has SO many words that it's fun to communicate with him. He can piece together stories, regurgitate anything you say and respond to all our questions. Tonight while Shan was giving him a bath I heard him teaching Lucca how to say "whaa's up mama". I also walked in on Shan brushing Lucca's teeth. He had taught him how to do "a.e.i.o.u" so Shan could get to all of his teeth. Genius! These moments touch my heart and I want to bottle them up for later a dose.



We've been taking full advantage of the weather here and have had several dinners at the park, bike rides, walks and lots of rock collecting. Here are some pics from Mother's Day. We took a bike ride to Discovery. Lucca loves the adventures of the outdoors. He had so much fun kicking dust, picking flowers, balancing on logs and just running free. Who knew this would be SO MUCH FUN!



















Here are some pics from our trip with Alki with Tia Zizi!

Mothers Day

I love that there's a day where we take pause to think about all of the wonderful Mother's in our lives. I'm so grateful to have learned from such amazing women.

My mom is patient, loves unconditionally, sensitive, sickly creative, generous, devoted, beautiful, kind and my best friend.


My Grandma is funny, even more sensitive than my mom, spunky, strong willed, loving and has the strongest devotion to her family.

My Mother in law is kind, soft spoken, strong willed, brave, warm, gentle, hard working, smart and always puts her family first.

And to the little man who blessed me by letting me join this group of amazing women. It is a true honor to be his mom. I'm humbled everyday by his crazy love.

My hero...

Jody Jones, you are an Ironwoman!

I have been amazed by Jody Jones many times. First by her contagious energy, then by her enduring love, then by her determination, then by her humility, then by her ability to grow. This weekend was no different when I watched her cross the finish line and heard the words "Jody Jones, you are an Ironwoman"! I am more proud of her than words can express. She has trained for hours, and I mean hours every day for over a year. She has balanced training, connecting with a partner, friends, family and her own business all with the most positive attitude. She was an inspiration to all that know her far before this weekend, but this just manifested everything Jody Jones. I'm humbled to be her friend and be one of the lucky individuals who receive her endless, unconditional love. She has changed my life just be being in it. Here's to you Jodes -- you deserve this moment and all the bliss that accompanies it.

To top off this weekend, Jody also asked her partner Danielle to be her wife. They have a adoration for one another many strive for. It's been magical to watch their love grow and evolve. There is no one better for Jody than Danielle and I think the same is true for Danielle. They bring out the best in one another and encourage each other to be their best, most authentic self.
That is going to be one good party!

All our love Jody and Danielle!
Heather, Shan and Lucca

On our way back home...Lucca loved the flight. He gigled at the turbulence.
Notice his new "purse" that Gaga and Papa gave him for Easter. He carries it everywhere now.

Meet Baby Henry

Introducing Baby Henry, Ang and Tim's new precious boy. I got to meet him on my last trip and he is a dream baby. I was honored when Ang asked me to take some of his photos. We tried to get a pic of Henry on this piano bench, but he had a different idea. I still think we got some fabulous ones of him and a few of the adorable Olivia. Tim and Ang sure know how to make some beautiful babies!
