So, why the title Anna's PALS? Originally the PALS blog was designed to let people know more about the process of what went into writing the PALS newsletter, a newsletter aimed at reaching people who love writing letters.
This blog was created in January 2006, and suffered a two-year hiatus when PALS ceased to be produced. It began to be updated again in June 2014.Anna Lawsonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04591529895886229298noreply@blogger.comBlogger389125tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21442604.post-20122183796937905752016-10-05T22:14:00.001+01:002016-10-05T22:14:20.089+01:00Week 27<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Back on track. For one week at least. We're now on to a cauliflower - and it's starting to feel like it!Anna Lawsonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04591529895886229298noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21442604.post-60219629294427866332016-10-05T22:12:00.001+01:002016-10-05T22:12:51.841+01:00Weeks 16-26OK, so it's fair to say I've been rather lax with my baby fruit sizes... considering I last posted at 15 weeks, and I'm now on week 27. I'm not sure leaving posting 12 weeks is considered 'regular'...<br />
<br />
To make up for it, here are the fruits that I should have been posting between weeks 16 and 26. A number of weeks are missing because, well, we just don't eat turnips, spaghetti squash or large ears of corn very often, so opportunities to take photos of them are limited. We do however eat:<br />
<br />
Bell peppers. This could alternatively have been a sweet potato:<br />

It's been nearly a year since I posted on this blog. Back in July 2015, I documented our 3-month trip to California by taking a photo every day in an attempt to represent what we were doing whilst we were away.<br />
<br />
Whilst I'm still planning on uploading photos this time around, the theme is a little different. I'm currently 14 weeks pregnant with baby #3, and who doesn't wonder what size their baby is when they're pregnant? So, in a total failure to be innovative, I'm going with the size of fruit that represents the baby. which means there won't be more than one post a week, and possibly not that - depending on the fruits on offer, what I have pictures of, and what else is happening that week!<br />
<br />
Anyway, I'm making a start with a lemon, one of the two fruits that represent the size of the baby at 14 weeks (the other being a nectarine).<br />
<br />

We went whale watching in Monterey, had a school of dolphins swim right past our boat to avoid killer whales (which we also saw up close), had lunch on the wharf (mmm, lots of fish...), followed by ice cream, then found a fantastic playground, by a lake, with bridges and mazes and brilliant climbing structures, and even a steam train. But Joe started the day looking like this:<br />
<br />

... and it got worse. Much worse.<br />
He still couldn't ruin the amazing whale watching experience though (although he did ruin the photos of it somewhat).Anna Lawsonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04591529895886229298noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21442604.post-15525643971438994582015-09-16T05:48:00.001+01:002015-09-16T05:48:27.163+01:00Day 74: Tuesday 15 SeptemberHmmm...<br />

This photo in no way represents my feelings about this winery. Mediocre wine and we nearly lost my sling (and trust me, life without that sling right now isn't worth thinking about). Although Joe did like the tractor/ trailer ride.<br />
<br />
However, mussels and chips at the Glen Ellen Inn (if you're ever in Glen Ellen, go to the inn for food. Trust me), lots of chocolate (in pudding and truffle form), a lovely winery in the afternoon (thanks Landmark), and impromptu visits to Marin Headlands (for views of SF) and the lagoon by the Palace of Fine Arts in SF in the early evening all made up for it.Anna Lawsonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04591529895886229298noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21442604.post-67083157974730568922015-09-01T05:00:00.001+01:002015-09-01T05:00:25.689+01:00Day 59: Monday 31 AugustThis purchase was not worth it, and hasn't been worth it since we bought it over a month ago. Taking it to the park today was the pinnacle of it not being worth it. On the bright side, it's the only purchase I really feel like we made a massive mistake with.<br />
