Chewy Meets Chico

Our small family friend, Chewy, meets Chico, and becomes overly dramatic when surrounded by puppy cuteness. Nic chimes in. Nic's mom acts as stage director.

PoolSounds

I spent the morning and early afternoon at the pool. It was empty when I got there. As the hours went by, families started showing up, many with kids. While the morning sound was birdsong, the afternoon sound was that of kids frolicking.

Hanging with Jean at Yerba Buena Gardens

Just shy of 60 seconds of my little friend and birthday biddy, Jean. We spent a part of the afternoon hanging out together at Yerba Buena Gardens, blowing bubbles and exploring the fountains, while her mom attended an important meeting. There may or may not have been some dipping of bare feet in the fountain.

The Visitors

My apartment was invaded by Artinians.  I've been informed that I could do a much better job in terms of supplying 7 year olds with crafting supplies for spontaneous projects. I TRIED!

These little pals of mine are so awesome. When Z is a little stronger as a reader, I highly recommend The Magic Tunnel.

Willy, Zabel, Ophelia, and Me

Last night's bedtime stories and entertainment came courtesy of Oh and Zah, via Skype. Stories about sperm and hats, bears and swimmers. Very cool kids.

Not Exactly the Bolshoi

Parents' day at ballet class. Even the teacher isn't taking it too seriously today. -Gerard Holmes

We Went in Search of Frogs

There were no frogs to be found. I'm sure we were just too loud, but that doesn't mean there wasn't still fun to be had.
