Our dogs can't get enough of the California sunshine and neither can we.

This blog has been created to update you--our family and friends--on all of the changes we are experiencing since our little family moved back to the West Coast. Most notably, of course: the new little one who just arrived.

We encourage ourselves and you to learn the lessons of the sundog: nourish your mind with rest, your body with vitamin D, and your soul with warmth
. Oh, and don't forget to sniff when something interesting wafts by.

Love, Mary & Ryan

29th B-days, DC and SB

It's hard to believe it has been a whole year since we celebrated our 29th birthdays with friends in DC. Thanks to all of you who came out to Cafe Asia in Rosslyn that cold Wednesday night, it was such a great time. We don't miss the weather but we do miss you!


Grad school buds-Ani, Awi, Ryan


Grad school girls-Nidia, me, Rebecca


Nidia, Rebecca, and German (N&G were our regular dog sitters, Bogey and Lucy miss them and their delicious cooking terribly-as do we!)


Jen (grad school bud and awesomest Rosslyn neighbor) 'n me


Me and Miriam-St. Louis Park High School classmates!


Miriam and Jen planning female world domination


Knauss Fellowshippers-Sahrye, Heather (double duties as grad school friend too!), Emily, Kristine, me


Matt and Ryan thinking of a strategy to thwart Miriam and Jen


Fun at table 6! Deb, far left, my extra special 13th floor buddy at NOAA


Fellow Knaussers Leigh, Rachel, and Sheridan mad about something. Probably Ryan and Matt. Or the weather that night.


Sahrye (fellow Fellow) and Kyle (grad school friend/Monterey Bay Aquarium turtle), both triplets!


In Santa Barbara for Ryan's company's holiday party


Hangin with grad school girl bud Catherine (I get to see her lots now!)


Trying not to fall into ocean on Ryan's boss' sailboat


Watch out


Out with Catherine


At The Nutcracker in Santa Barbara with Shanna and Suzanne, Ryan's sis and mom. Only a few ballerinas fell during the amateur production.


Tall genes in the Radford family


Breakfast with Ryan's dad Tom. They look a wee bit related in this one, no?
