finally it's raspberry season.

so ready for summer.

never not reading.

the #queerfam really showed up for rye's elementary school graduation.

so long 5th grade, middle school here we come.

when your last name starts with 's' you just end up in the last row at graduation.

copa america trumps bedtime (but not bath-time).

i mean, when you're already at the school it would just be silly not to visit the second grade too.

5th grade science fair poster presentation.

raspberry stained.

out to dinner selfie bc that's just how we do.

screen-time snuggle buddies.

the toughest pirate from grammer island. second grade musical for the win.

science fair poster, on lock.

these two - really feeling all the love.

annual well child visit - kids are both healthy and on point developmentally. phew.

special craig is in town (for dean's birthday and riley's 5th grade graduation - what!?!) which means lots of fun time living room hangies with the #queerfam.

kale enjoys watching soccer from a lofty vantage point. ya know, so he can really see the whole field.

halftime pep talk from coach katrina.

a little late to this particular game, but the kids have finally both gotten in to reading harry potter.

our 'that baby is one week overdue' commemorative dinner. (baby inés has since joined us and we are v excited to meet her)

pizza and a ms pac man table set to free play. does it get better than this? no, really, i'm asking?

i call this one 'american gothic - 5th grade camp'. 60 5th graders in the woods for three days - so glad i'm not a chaperone.

bike racks, who needs 'em?

selfie game strong.

popsicles and floaties. living the dream, for real.

just all of the adorable queers and dogs and kids at the lake maxing and also relaxing.

ok we also looked a some pretty awesome marine life.

there was an extreme low tide this weekend so we went to lincoln park to sit on some driftwood.

oh look we had a due date bbq, with the actual best food, and still that baby didn't want to join us. what gives, baby?

the early raspberries are all growing in the hard to reach areas - doesn't even slow us down.

there is a baby in that belly and it's pushed out angelica's belly button!?!

doing all the brick and bamboo exercises under benny's watchful eye.

so ready to watch x-men apocalypse and eat chocolate covered popcorn!

memorial day bbq in all of its sunshiny glory.

qt w uncle calvin.

babies, especially fun to hold when you can give them back after a few minutes.

rain, what rain? ask the nighthawks.

ewan's style cannot be contained.

look at these two cuties having all the extended eye contact while we wait for our burgers.

kale and frankie just love each other so much. bffs 4 ever.

breakfast with this awesome squad was pure delight. come visit again soon. k, thanks.
