The best thing about the visit to Seattle was getting told that when Rhys was asked by his play date friend who the lil guy was he responded... well he's like my cousin or my brother - yeah thats it he's my brother.


Big Big love with these two.

A Visit from Xan & his mom (& sister)



Our friend Emily who used to live in Cambridge & was instrumental in organizing all of the kids into Mama coffee playdates lives in Davis CA now. She said she would come visit us when we got back out here but I didn't really know if it would happen. But this am she got the kids in the car and trucked on down to Berkeley. It was so awesome to see Xan again & to meet his sister and to get to run around and play. Everyone loved the Rose Garden! Now its my turn to take a ride up north and see them.

Fantastic Painter Artist

This little film was shot Feb 19th - the background noise are our friends Charlie and Leo playing in the next room. The boy is explaining what a "Fantastic Painter Artist" is as he works on a painting.

He is especially impressed with Mommy's artistic abilities because "she can make stars" - Me Too.

Photo from our visit to Lawrence Hall of Science.

A couple of engineers...


Rafi and the boy are working on a suspension bridge at Lawrence Hall of Science. We cut preschool today so that we could hang out some more with the G-N clan - mom, dad, Doron, Rafi and Zohara and Ziva. It was rainy so LHS was our place. The boy is pretty smitten with Rafi - they both love to build complex and beautiful structures.

When a tree falls in the neighborhood

The neighbors called last night just after midnight to tell us that everyone was okay and that we shouldn't freak out if we saw FireTrucks coming up to their house. It was rainy and very very windy out and one of the giant trees in their yard had just come down onto their roof. - I hadn't heard a thing!!

This morning we went over to take a look - Wowza





Thank goodness everyone was fine & the house is hopefully fine - that is some good construction that it can catch a direct hit and not crumble.

Firewood anyone?

Ice Cream Stand


Getting busy at Skytown on a clear day. A bunch of the kids set up an "ice cream stand" under the play structure. The funny thing was there was more interest in scooping and selling "ice cream" than in buying and eating it.

Park 61st st Emeryville



After a trip to the BEST B*Y (thanky you Unka Jim) we found this new park in Emeryville (around 61st and Doyle) - it wasn't super big but it had some pretty cool play structures and we needed to run around for a bit so it was Perfect.

Indoor Play Cafe

On this rainy rainy morning we had a play date with Amy and Cypress at Sadie Days in Oakland - it was a pretty cool space but crowded - lots of moms escaping the bad weather. Still I love a place where the boy can run and play and I can have a latte!!!! Plus seeing Amy was a BIG bonus.
