caroline and i went blueberry picking last week.  irvine bluberries is a fantastic family owned u-pick farm 20 minutes outside of the city.  i picked about 9 pounds of amazingly delicious organic blues with the intention of freezing the bulk of them.  unfortunately, for my winter self, they never made it into the freezer.  check out caroline’s blog for a great blueberry lavender jam recipe!

on wednesday i took wyatt and arlo on our last beach trip together.  i know i was only their nanny, but i can’t really imagine life without them.  i will miss them so very much.  it has been an incredible privilege to watch them grow and experience life with children.  there is a lot of beauty there.

this week is full of packing.  and almost every single meal has been planned into a date to share with someone before i leave.  a week of lasts, so to speak.
