This was not the photo I had intended to put up when I promised a couple of days ago to post photos, but a) it's too cute, and b) it was easy. I still haven't had a chance to upload the photos I took of Kid A last weekend, but I really really hope to do so soon.
We had a little reunion of my prenatal yoga class today, along with a couple of mamas-to-be, at a little park in North Berkeley. There were six babies and their parents. There were even three grandparents in attendance! This is the group that is the closest thing I have to a mom's group, and so it's always wonderful to be with them. It's also always wonderful to have an excuse to get back to Berkeley and Oakland! I started my urban adventure with a trip to the Oakland location of Arizmendi, which I miss so dearly. (If you don't know about it, but are in the East Bay, you definitely need to check them out. Morning pastries to die for, yummy yummy pizza, good breads ... just go. Seriously.) Then we were off to the park, for fun in the sun with the mamas and babes. Delightful.
As you can see, Kid A was not altogether pleased with her first Halloween costume. But there's a lot that she's not pleased with, and I'm doing much better at taking her displeasure in stride. All in all, she was a real delight this weekend. Last night, we went to a pumpkin carving party with Krista Is A Mom and her family and our former neighbors, who are truly wonderful people. It was a great weekend of self-care, in which I was surrounded by the very best of humanity. It was wonderful to be in the company of our chosen "village." Too bad we don't actually live near our village!!
