i took uma to a concert at the park that i live next this evening. it was a beautiful evening and as i am strolling there with the fat dog, i am thinking, this is my family now. this fat adorable dog and her irresistible little sister and me. it’s probably a typical california family, i wouldn’t be entirely surprise. i am still getting use to the size of it now. it works in the philosophy that less is more. i was gone for almost 10 days last week without seeing her but it’s full on this week for a straight 9 days in a row. we certainly have a routine down now. the constructs of the days pretty much follow some sort of family activity/nap/dinner and then walk in the park. the walks in the park next to the apartment is usually the high light of the day. it’s so good for the soul to hear/smell the beach and have uma and the dog run around before we head in the evening for ‘bubble’ bath and bedtime stories. nothing every exciting but it’s the most precious experiences being present with the girl dancing in the sunset.
