pink for the five year old.

my brother, adam, has been saying "i love you" at the end of our phone conversations. it makes me smile, especially because he is the least likely of the brothers to say those three words to the sister. everytime he says it i immediately think of all the siblings (brothers & sisters-in-law) and the song "orange sky" by alexi murdoch.

dillon and dan moved closer to me! it's still a few miles away but it is in such a prime location: on 18th between mission and valencia in a two bedroom flat. it definitely feels more "san francisco." love it.

last night was fun: borders in the magazine section for a couple hours. extreme pizza and cherry pie added to the fun, along with long discussions on the meaning of love and life (clearly neither of us know the answers).

tomorrow is sofia's birthday... she is one of my favorite cousins so i decided she would celebrate in style: a new birthday dress and shoes, her pick. of course we went to nordstrom where she found the perfect pink dress, pink headband, pink necklace, and pink converse (with sparkles). tomorrow we will all eat together and she will blow out five candles. oh, to be five again.


while at nordstrom i found these-- they are for sam & riley. i know they are going to grow out of them in 2.3 days but i couldn't help myself.



my grandparents are moving and i freaked out when i heard the news. they live in kauai and yes, i am bummed that they are leaving the garden island but seeing them once, maybe twice a year for the last ten years has not been sufficient. oh yeah, the good news is that they are moving to the bay area! both my grandparents have retired before, but somehow they both started working again. this time my grandma is really calling it quits... her last day as director of kauai hospice will be december 31, 2007. all this just goes to show that you can be in a beautiful place but if you aren't with the people you love the most, then it might not be worth it. i can't wait for them to be near.
