michael always makes fun of me because i have the memory of an elephant and often say 'this time last year we were...', well, since this is my space to record what i choose, i'm going to time travel a bit.
oscar weekend reminded me of our first family road trip out to palm springs when elodie was a mere 8 weeks old. our friends were sweet enough to have us stay at the ace hotel during the soft opening and be the 'family' in their travel + leisure spread. it was a beautiful time to go - the hotel was almost deserted (unheard of nowadays!) and i remember taking walks in the moonlight trying to soothe this brand new being. the oscars were on the night we arrived and i felt so out of touch with the outside world. as anyone with a new baby can attest, those first few weeks are so dreamy. last night we went to an oscar party at my friend amanda's house - so fun to see elodie pal around with her friend malena. how quickly they change! for instance, this is her on that trip at 8 weeks...
and exactly a year later in 2010, just learning to walk...
and now, a beautiful, vibrant 2 year old...
