Its June already.

Happy June everyone. Especially all of you who were smart enough to choose a career in public schools. Ethan turns 1/2 tomorrow. Anyone who knows us Byrds know that we do indeed celebrate the halfy birthday... usually to the theme of a cupcake and a coloring book... we'll probobly do bananas and a chew toy this year. Six months ago at this hour I was at LaHuerta eating cheese dip with Momo and Missy and Nana and Rach and Shaun and fetal Ethan wondering what the next day would bring. It brought alot.

Ray brought us a much needed date last weekend. She came over while Ethan was supposed to be sleeping and sent us out for dinner. We had a lovely time.... and Rach said that he only did the "YOU ARE NOT MY MOTHER!" cry for a little while before she and Matt got a bottle prepared. She even said that she would do it again?! As we see here in this pic, she was triumphant. He was still asleep when we got home. Rock on sisterbaby!
Let the countdown begin to the 22nd? annual Byrd et. al trip to the beach. We go on the 1st. Banana is taking one for the team and taking a trip to check it out next week. Thanks mom. Somebody had to do it.
This will be my first endeavor with child on the beach, and i hope I can still find time to get burnt toast on my hip flexors (its the ultimate level of tanned perfection.)

Here's more pictures. Later!
