June smiles

Hipster baby

He rides a fixie with training wheels.

Reality sets in

All the other grown-ups are back to their lives this week. And so the refrigerator's dead and can't be replaced until tomorrow, transmission's busted on the VW, and I've got milk issues making me a little sick. Ahhh, the babymoon is over family!

STILL happy though. Sweaty (it's been over 90 with no ac anywhere), smelly (yesterday I was holding a screaming boy in time out and he pinched his nose an said "Mommy's stinky!"), sleepy, but HAPPY. And yesterday I took all 3 babes to an 8 am doctor's appointment and got all of us flu shots after, so I'm earning my mother-of-three stripes.

But, Ellen and Flash? Get here soon. :)

San Francisco Fog

September in San Francisco. When we exited the bridge to the north, clear blue skies.

Grandpa was here!

September to Remember

Oh what a month! I promised June when she was still gestating -- 2 weeks past the due date! -- that life would be more interesting on the outside, and we have delivered on that promise. Visits from Aunt Karen and Uncle Daniel, Juju, and Grandpa! THREE birthday parties (one for her brothers and two for friends). Trips to the USS Hornet air craft carrier, Happy Hollow, the Bay Area Discovery Museum, and the SF Zoo. A hike in the Santa Cruz mountains. Little love, we have enjoyed your first month. We like your company.

Our 4 year old

This is Scott. He turned 4 last week and it is a wonderful age! He plays out long imaginary scenes with his toys (like the tiny gorilla and dinosaurs he has here), he sings songs to June, he recites rhymes with his preschool teacher. He's charming. We have so much fun with our little guy. Happy birthday Astronaut Scott, we love you to moon and back!
