After a long break...

We're back. And the first post, not surprisingly, starts with some photos that pre-date Bertie. We spent Christmas 2013 in Sebastopol, CA, with my family, and it was lovely.

We took a lovely, easy walk along the coast. Bertie was still about 8 weeks from being born.

Santa Rosa, CA, is the hometown of Charles Schultz of Peanuts fame. We visited the museum and had a great time.

The end wall of the museum is a giant Peanuts mural made entirely of black and white comic strips.

I think this was taken two days after Bertie was due. I was enormous.
