Most recent Family Portrait:
We had a lot of activities this weekend---more than the usual hecticness.

I'll start with Friday-
We biked over to Happy Hour in Santa Monica to meet with my friend Brittany Love from UF and Tio Charlie. Brittney and her husband (Ryan) just moved here a couple weeks ago.
It was great catching up.
Saturday I ran 8miles while Peter got the bikes ready for our tour with Logan---who is in town for a couple days for work (NI).
The bike ride was lots of fun...and I caught most of it on camera. We all planned on going out but Logan and Charlie bailed...cause they were too tired. We ended up meeting up with Brittany and Ryan---AND HAD AN AWESOME TIME at a little CLUB in Venice.

Sunday was a LONG DAY, LOADED with Fun and Friends:
Early Sunday morning we had Tomas' Birthday Party. We got to meet some new little ones, meet a NEW PARK in our area, sing happy birthday, and eat some yummy food! Nico played chase with a little boy name John, went exploring around the park with Peter, and played with buckets and the other kids before he went down for a nap.

Laurel, Tim, and MILE'S visit
After the party, I went to pick up the Stelzer Family at LAX!!! We hung out around the apartment, in the sand box at our complex, went for a little bike tour with the two kiddos in the bike trailer, had a great dinner, and then I sent them on their LONG journey back to their temp. home!
Nico had his first play date ever with Miles. In August, Nico's Playmate and my running buddy left to Malaysia and we haven't seen them since. Because Laurel keeps a great blog, we have kept tabs on all the things that they have been up to...so there was a strange, surreal, de ja vu, feeling when we were hanging out in person.
Here they are at 2 weeks old-Miles, and 3 weeks old- Nico.
This past weekend at 14months of age.
Nico and Miles took sharing to heart! Nico took a bite, offered it to Miles, and then fed it to him.
They also shared some milk and cheerios in the Bike Trailer as we toured the different parks in Venice:
I chatted with Laurel today and found out that Miles behaved great on the 10 hour flight to Hong Kong--sleeping 8 of those hours and then did well again on the last stretch of the trip to Penang. Glad to hear that their great trip ended so well.
It was so nice to hang out with such special and inspiring people. They're adventurous spirit re-energized Peter and I, reminding us to not be scared to embark on our own mini adventures.
Tim said it best: Having a child is like growing old. There are old people that are always complaining about the things that they used to be able to do, the energy they had, and all the things that were different-----And then there are those who physically age but are always young at heart, staying active, sharing their wealth of knowledge with others, and doing "a version" of what they have always loved to do; That's the type of parents that Tim and Laurel are--the well aging kind!
I look forward to seeing what other great places in the world our play-dates and friendship will take us.

We had a blast with you too! Thank you so much, I know it made for a very long Sunday. Just think, ours didn't end until Tuesday! :-) My favorite pic is the one of the two of us biking. I think it's pretty descriptive - we're together in the picture, so happy, but there is a big sky and a lot of ocean in between. Good one!
