My computer is back from the shop.
Someday soon I will straighten out the internet situation.
Right now I am on a five minute internet break at a coffee shop to update y'all.
June was great! I missed the internets but it was probably a healthy break from screen time.
I am working long hours with preschoolers, which I enjoy most days. Very entertaining. And exhausting or energizing, depending on the day/moment.
I have taken up yoga and go practice at a studio a few days a week after work. I am hooked.
We are going to Hawaii for nearly a month in late August. The islands are calling. I am far less homesick in Cali than I was in Oregon but now that I have a plane ticket I am feeling those pangs.
I eat mounds of squash out of the garden every day. Want some?
Love,
Emily
Last month, before our hectic summer schedules begans, we took a road trip up to the Bay Area. I am not a city girl at all, but I think San Francisco is truly my favorite big city. 
Up near John Muir Redwoods... I hadn't known such rugged outdoor perfection was just across the Golden Gate bridge.
I started off the trip with a few days in Palo Alto, bonding with my little cousins.
Cool pictures Andrew took while we played at the very hands-on Exploratorium Museum. Gotta get some science/education in on vacation, right?
I have many more wonderful pictures from this trip that intend to post one of these days. I have less than a month until I'm Hawaii-bound. Travel always begets more travel.
