Singin' Dixie... Sister's gone for a week.

At first Tuck is sad to see Chloe go... But he'll enjoy having a full
week of attention all to himself...

Off to summer camp... Chloe's 1st week-long away...

Today's another first... Sending our Chloe away for a week on sleep-
away camp... She's so excited!

Negotiated a headset for $1.00... Way to go tuck!

I gave Tucker $2 and said it was up to him to 'barter' and negotiate
his way through the estate sale...

Now the kid has a set of FM headphones and he's just groovin' from
room to room...

Getting better at tennis... Chloe she is.

In true yoda fashion, my girl is mastering the forehand, backhand and
volley...

Handsome haircut Tucker!

A few errands and one new handsome haircut for the t-man!

Extra touches matter.... Redbull pull tab.

I love the extra effort put into an experience... And the branded
'bull' on the pull tab of my red bull had that extra special treat...

Building arguments for little things to get done set apart great
companies from others...

Saturday painting project...

I love my Nespresso machine!

Swim meet culture...

> I grew up in southern California... And remember outdoor swim meets,
> early am practice, and the smell of chlorine in the morning... And
> now my kids will have that memory as well...

View from the pier... Morning fog.

The morning fog on the SB pier was epic...
