Well,

11 days since birthday. There's been a lot of sleeping and eating and adjusting to life in "el campo". The weather has been excruciatingly hot. I bet it's very nice in Victoria BC right now. We've been out on a few outings but nothing major. First restaurant - Hyde Park - Dad had the Eggs Benedict and a Bloody Mary. Mom had a Belgian waffle and my sister had the Veggie plate with mac and cheese that tasted like bacon.

We went on our first walk:

There's me and my dog and a new friend from up the street.

We also went to the grocery store:

And then after I slept and ate and kept everyone up all night I saw that I am not the only starving child in the world:

So - hopefully I will be able to keep up with this and one day when Atticus learns to read and type and cuss at the innernet he'll be able see what we were up to.

It should make for a better story than the ones I grew up with... being born in Bakersfield and all... with the drinkin' and fightin' and workin' til all hours of the night...

It seems we have it so much easier. I guess I owe it to my folks.
