luca

Luca loves skateboards. He loves riding on them, and going off and on. He's 20 months now, and more adventureous everyday. The best part are the warm morning snuggles, and all his help with the housework. He loves the vaccuum so much he goes to the closet every day to visit it!

I am so lucky to be around Luca during the day. At break time we get to goof off. The usual stuff is spin jumps, pull ups and Luca speak. He is picking up things so quickly these days.

Luca loves to read

We are so lucky to have such a wonderful family. Christmas eve and day are always a whirlwind of catching up with my family and awesome food. It always goes by way too quick.

Getting back to Marin is always feels like coming home to Lara and I. We usually stay with my Dad and Liz which has changed over the years. At first a few years ago it was just Lara and I.... Now it is Lara, Luca, Rye, Diesel and I. The circus with a large truck that leaves a little oil spot in the driveway. Rye and Diesel love the backyard with its long space to run and ever taunting local squirrels. The two of them nearly bust down the gate to get back there when we arrive and squeak with anticipation.

We had a nice cold snap roll in to Santa Barbara just before the holidays. It is hard to stay indoors with the little man eager to play. Luca also got some new shoes for a early Christmas present which is a major help for his stride. The Crocks were too much of a shuffle for him. It is so cute to see him speed walk his way to the swings.
