We went to Pajaro Dunes for the second time this past weekend, and the first visit was four years ago when Jaden was a little bitty baby still.

I have lots and lots of great pictures but I need to feed that kid and go tour yet another overpriced, overbooked Peninsula preschool. So here are a few highlights for now.

Jaden assumes the lifestyle quite easily and with little direction.

Making some fierce faces to go with his fierce spikes.
"This is the fiercest face I know how to make Mama." (Phew!)

Nothing like a spontaneous family photo.
(No, this won't be on our Christmas card).

Jaden and I went for a couple of lovely walks on the beach.


Another gorgeous sunset.
