In honor of LGBT bloggers Day: Our 2 mom family

Just a quick post welcoming any new folks to our site.  This is a photo taken of our family on a hike last Sunday.  I never thought I'd have the happiness that is my everyday life now- so many blessings!  The greatest of these, of course, is my wonderful spouse and our beautiful son.  We are in a sweet spot- our son is getting easier (finally potty trained!), our parents are alive, and everyone is in good health.  We know this will not always be true, so we treasure every day.  Not to mention all of our amazing friends and neighbors who enrich our lives and provide the 'village' that raises our son.  L'chaim!

Bella and human friends

For those who are not subscribed to Facebook, here is a very short video of Jeremy playing catch with Bella: http://www.archive.org/details/ASimonJeremyandBella/  - clearly our first assessment of her not being a 'ball dog' were wrong; she can be quite playful, although in a very mellow way.  She reminds me how a baby elephant might play.

Speaking of play, I thought I'd share some other photos of Jeremy with his friends. You can see from the previous post how fond he is of Lola; he also has special connections with Jacob (pictured above on the rock during our hike last Saturday), Luca (a photo from his playdate yesterday, below) and other friends from school.   Not to mention our grown-up friends; Sunday night Jeremy went to Casa Bonita for the first time with friends Ryan and Brian. We are so blessed with good friends!
