I am so spoiled.

Cy - Age 2
We (me, Mom & Dad) went to Hawaii to celebrate Cy's 2nd Birthday. He's a little boy now, running around, talking up a storm, obsessed with heavy road equipment (especially diggers). He's a wonderful little nephew.

Gecko for Cy
Present for the birthday boy. Goes well with the geckos that hang out all over their house.

Cy Boogie Boarding
From his birthday last month (Mom took the pic when they visited them in Hawaii). Can't walk yet (but he's close!), but he can boogie board. He definitely takes after his father!

Charles Addams-esque
From our Christmas photo session last November. Amanda does love her Uncle Chris. Really, she does.

Socktopus
Cy turned one last week, and in honor of his first birthday I made him a friend. Cy's developed an even more deep love of water now that they're living in Hawaii, he's even started "swimming" and "boogie boarding." He does know how to hold his breath underwater, and loves the ocean. If only he wasn't so far away!

Eh?
I was trying to figure out some of the many settings on my camera. I must have been making strange noises or swearing or something because this is the look I was getting.

Lake of Ice
On our drive back from Oregon, this is what we drove by, a frozen Klamath Lake. It was beautiful, and huge. I can see why people are tempted to go out on lakes even if they aren't sure that they're completely frozen.

Snow in Berkeley
I didn't have my camera the first day, but this is snow in Tilden the day after it snowed. The first day there was so much snow, it was like driving through Tahoe in the middle of ski season. I wish I'd had my camera on me...

Christmas Train
A slightly fuzzy picture of the cake that Amanda & Peter made to start off the holiday season. The ensemble covered their entire coffee table (and I'm told it tasted pretty good after the fact, too!).

Cy with a Cold
Cy's teething, and he has a cold. It's the only time I've ever seen him grumpy for longer than a few minutes. Poor little guy. But he's still cute.

Houston Airport Napping
This is what happens when massive thunderstorms hit Houston right after the first leg of your flight lands. You spend all night in the airport with a bunch of other people who can't take a shower or brush their teeth, just like you can't. The cool thing about it? The Houston Airport does have a Peet's!

NY Wedding
Steph & Tony had a party to celebrate their wedding. Lots of great people, good food, and a long overdue trip to New York.

Local Lunch
Kate & Jess & I made a magnificent lunch, all with local ingredients from the farmer's market at Union Square (the New York one). It was scrumptious!

M & M Store
Can you believe New York has a three story M & M Store? Jessica brought me, just to prove that it really existed (OK, and we bought some M & Ms too). It was unreal.

Cypress Airlines
Cy's latest trick, the airplane move. He's also learned to click his tongue. Still no crawling, but he's getting there. And he likes to take baths in the kitchen sink, where he can drink straight out of the water filter faucet. Such a cute nephew I have.

Chihuly Boat
I went to see three exhibits today, including one on Chihuly's glass work. This boat was about 15 feet long and full of all of these amazing shapes. The other two exhibits were Frida Kahlo and a female impressionists exhibit. All three were amazing, and completely different. It was a lovely way to spend a day off.

OMG Zucchini
So, my Dad comes over tonight, and when I answer the door he's got something behind his back. He gives me this line about how he's been worried ever since I moved into this neighborhood so he brought me something to use for protection. Then he pulls out a HUGE zucchini. 1.642 kg (that's 3.62 pounds).
Update: half the zucchini has been stuffed (with farro, corn, pine nuts, garlic, shallot, dill, and an egg), a quarter turned into two loaves of zucchini bread, and a quarter remains in the fridge. Suggestions?

Raspberry Sherbert
This time it was vegan raspberry sherbert, from a recipe I adapted from The Perfect Scoop. I used a blend of soy milk and soy creamer. I also opted to put some of it in individual glass cups to freeze, which worked well. It was a bit difficult to scoop the last batch out of the big glass pyrex bowl.
