It’s probably our last vacation for a while, not because it wasn’t fun, but because it was a decadent splurge. We went to Puerto Vallarta over Christmas for a too-short trip consisting of five days and four nights. We convinced both grandmas to come along and Dinah and Manuel. We had fairly limited options for [...]

Early Christmas with Grandpa Bruce
Posted in Regional parks, Video included, Visitors on December 12, 2011 | Leave a Comment »
My dad came out for a visit this weekend, and just a few days before he came it occurred to all of us that since most of the family was going to be here now, and since we won’t be here on Christmas, why not celebrate now? It was a whirlwind of shopping and preparations [...]
Omie visit and Tilden’s Little Farm
Posted in Visitors on December 3, 2011 | Leave a Comment »
Omie’s visit coincided with me getting sick AGAIN (!) so I only really went out with them one day and the rest of the time I spent at home with Soren. I swear I’m taking my vitamins. What I’m not doing is getting my rest, thanks to Soren being sick a lot and never recovering [...]

We are delighted to have not one but TWO visit from Omie this month as she travels north to see a friend and back home again. She stopped over on Sunday with Stuart and her dog Sammie for an all-day visit which included reading, sidewalk chalk, lots of bubbles, a stroll in Briones, and dinner [...]
Visit from Omie and update on Claire’s forehead
Posted in Arts and crafts, Visitors on June 4, 2011 | Leave a Comment »
For those of you who haven’t tired of the gruesome pictures, here is the update on Claire’s forehead. Since she banged it open, the wound is about halfway in between the original deep hole and the petite tidy glued line. It appears to be healing nicely without any sign of infection, and as long as [...]
Visit from Grandpa Bruce

We had a well-timed break in the clouds for a visit from Grandpa Bruce. The twins were ecstatic, of course. We had a weekend full of activities and it always seems like a party when we have all of our family around. Especially since we usually throw in a party or two. We had time [...]
Thanksgiving weekend and fairies in the toilet
Posted in Visitors on December 8, 2010 | 1 Comment »
I know, I know, I am so late! I apologize, and hope you’ve been busy enough that you didn’t even notice. Omie and Stuart came up during the week of Thanksgiving , but fortunately they were enjoying being San Francisco tourists and visiting museums some of the time and hopefully didn’t notice quite so much [...]
Our visit from Grandpa Bruce
Posted in Visitors on November 27, 2010 | Leave a Comment »
The weekend before Thanksgiving, my dad came out for a visit. We had an abrupt change in the weather and it was cold and rainy, so we had to think of some indoor things to do. On Saturday the twins had their first gymnastics lesson, and they had a lot of fun. They got to [...]
Happy 3rd Birthday, Claire and Ronin!

As you know, we’ve been celebrating over the past few weeks, with balloons and presents and my sister’s Bastille Day party two weeks ago and Omie’s visit and more presents this past weekend. On Saturday we did our separate trips with Justin taking Ronin out for a long walk and Grandma Jan taking Claire to [...]
Last day of three under three
Posted in Visitors on July 24, 2010 | Leave a Comment »
And just in case anyone is curious, we are not going to have four under four. It’s hard to believe we’ve been married with children for this long already. The twins turn three on Monday. We are not doing anything super-exciting for their birthday, except celebrating it over a couple of weekends. Last week we [...]
