Poppy time

Eschscholzia Californica

 California poppy, golden poppy, California sunlight, cup of gold

 I was happy to be see these little boogers when we arrived back home.  Native to California; they are a gem.  They open and close with the sun. The pink flowers behind the poppy's bloom every morning and fall to the ground every evening.

-or flowers in this case.  

Sunny turns 1!

Really?
Yah, really!
My man! Already a whole year old. 
That happened *really* fast...

Mr. Sunny Eugene arrived at 4:47pm on May 16 2012. Born in water.  Big thanks and praise to my midwife Stephanie 
Johnson and

rockin doula Genevieve Needham.  And Brady.  He was so wonderful, calm and supportive. This was such an intense and powerful day. Of course.

For Sunny's first birthday party we needed streamers, party poppers, a cake, and 1 happy birthday boy and other things too.  But those were among most important.  Sherry made a wonderful honey birthday cake for Sunny. Thanks Sherry! And in the shape of the number one, awesomeness.

 

A little party preparation and a wonderful lamb dinner before the big cake event...

Cameras ready?

Get it Sunny Bear!  The boy needs a bunch of milk after all that cake :)

 What a great time we all had!  Thanks to Franzi for all the wonderful photos <3
