Kiddo Tocco

Tocco came back from Germany last week with a photo album of him growing up in Chile. I have been asking for this red photo album for years! Tocco showed it to me the summer we met, in Berlin, and I was so fascinated by his childhood. There are such amazing photos of him and his family in Germany, riding horses and skiing in Chile, Columbia, Spain, and everywhere else. I think I'm in love with his cheeeeeks. Don't you just want to squish him?! Sweetheart.

Plannin' time!

I must say, it's pretty handy to have a husband who measures the lawn and creates perfect templates. So far we've basically just deleted, ejected, and undone everything put in the yard by the previous owner, except for a few hardy bushes full of dust and I'm guessing termites? We'd need a bulldozer, chain and caffeine straight hooked to our bloodstream to remove (or, maybe, we could actually hire someone). Anyway, looking forward to filling the yard with bright, California native plants, and everything that reminds us of road trips to the beach. I've realized our style is Desert Modern and I cannot wait to have it. Sigh
