Figs, Chalk & the Dark Ages

This week we gathered these lovely figs from our fig tree and served them with prosciutto, goat cheese and french bread.  Harrison loved "harvesting" these little gems and mixing them in with his morning breakfast.  Little did I know that fig trees produce what seems like hundreds of figs all within a few week window... so next year we clearly need to get more creative with our ways of consumption.  

We spent much of our week on the patio where Harrison delighted in his new found canvas.
 Our little artist loved helping draw wheels on the cars and demanding more "big trucks" to be drawn.
 We also discovered how much fun it is to trace feet, hands, and the occasional sleeping dog.

While Lucia and I participated in the Red Tent event (an incredible celebration of women and their birth stories), Harrison and Andy went on a hiking adventure in Julian.  

Afterwards we spent some quality time on the couch swapping stories of each others' adventures.


And while we have countless precious moments as a new family of four, we have some challenging moments as well.  I couldn't resist capturing this moment below on a quiet Saturday morning during breakfast.  
Lucia is struggling with reflux (GER) which makes for a rather uncomfortable little being and some crazy making moments.  We have lovingly deemed this time to be the Dark Ages, capable of rattling even the calmest of individuals.  

Thankfully, we still manage to laugh through these times and carry on...enjoying simple pleasures like a breakfast made by Andy 

and a rejuvenating walk at sunset.
