Spring is here. April was showing off. ^_^

A new to me suitcase that I have improved with Posca markers.

We attended a concert at the Paramount theater where they performed Peter and the Wolf and a bunch of other great music. We also got tickets to see a couple of Cal Performances. maiki brought Emma to one and I attended the next. They were both powerful and uplifting.

A special gift of coffee from a friend.

We visited our penguin friends (& Claude!) at the Academy of Sciences.

This visit there were huge insects in the garden.

On the last day of Welcome to Wildlife Emma made this cute terrarium.

Emma has attended three birthday parties in the last month! Lucky girl.

Family walk and picnic in the redwoods.

I am so happy to be just a short drive away from this view.
