Birthday Photos

these poor shots will have to keep you satisfied until I get copies of the photos that Grandpa Phil took. But until then here are some views of our rained in birthday boy and co. Since it was POURING and thundering we cancelled our planned playdate in the park and just pared down to family and the og playgroup kids in our apt. Gabe, Jack (also a birthday boy today) and Harriet joined us along with the Granparents N. and DGina Farah and Dori. We valiantly did our best to drink a couple dozen juice boxes and eat 4 bags of pretzels and chips. We got some good BBQ sandwiches from Coast Cafe and Mommy brought 20 special cookies from the cafe by her work.



Present opening time was a HUGE hit.

Thanks everyone for such a fun time.

GNS Spring Break Play-Date

Today we headed out with some of our classmates from Garden to visit with Tristan at his new house. On the drive Lily G. celebrated Earth Day by reciting "The Lorax" for us - I was duly impressed. I was also very impressed with Tristans new house - WOW
it is amazing by the way.


It looks like Tristan, his parents and his brother and baby found the perfect place.


Here's a shot of the Garden Mom's and Dads in the garden watching our kids run around.

and the children at rest....





The boy loved his morning - thanks so much Mina & Lloyd for having us all...

City Hall Lawn

We have been getting a rash of summer like weather -

Well summer in SF that is. Temps in the high 60's and low 70's I am loving it.

And the boy is loving all the time that we are getting to be outside and play.

His favorite game on the city hall lawns is the run down the hill at full speed and jump on momma knocking her down game.

Puddle Jumping

It must be summer....

The ice cream truck came!!!

Mommy Roller Coaster

After spending a day riding the Shamu kiddie roller coaster over, and over, and over, and over again, Emily got to take on the slightly more grown up thrill rides that our day at C-World had to offer.

Here are a few pictures of her fun....

Sharing with Shamu

While mommy rode her roller coaster the boy, shamu and I stopped at the "cafe" for our treats - a latte for me & a giant cookie for the kids.

Roller Coaster

Photos from his first roller coaster ride(s).... He went on this one multiple times. Em is so proud.

Feeding the Dolphins

I know that we shouldn't be keeping dolphins in captivity - especially in teeny tiny pools.... BUT getting to feed, pet and photograph these lovelies was really, really amazing. I don't think the boy was as awed as Em and I were but I hope its something he remembers as he grows up.

Orca Show

Gimme a "D"
