summer's here

time to play in the yard and feed sophie some of here first solids...

stitches out and ready to play at daddy's mt. bike race. this was the first thing he saw as we entered the staging area - the bouncy house!
love those smiles:)

memorial weekend

max had a first that we would rather not repeat - his first trip to the ER. working with daddy in the garden, he fell and hit the shovel with his mouth... hence several hours later and much grief for all, he had 3 blue stitches in his lip. the dr. said he was very brave as he had the sheet placed over his face and his lip stitched through the little hole. i guess they do this so he doesn't see the tools... but we know he saw the scissors as he was describing the cuting to us that evening. uhg! it hurt all of us...

max carefully holding sophia
a bit more relaxed now.

its a zoo around here

hurry! get to the zoo early to see the animals; but max, OPEN your eyes! can you tell us what kind of animal this is below?
if you said it was an anteater, you r right. the high-school-age girl next to us asked her friends if they thought antelopes also ate ants. seriously. say that 5 times fast.

trains, train and trains...

zack is the train champ.

happy birthday dad!

it was all about the chocolate cake!
candles out - let's eat it!!
soph was thrilled...:)

HELLO world!
that's a smile
max and his band aide - he loves to wear them just for fun... and it actually caused a sore on his face from wearing it for too long!

Kel and Zack came for a visit and we had a fun kid weekend. here zack gets kel going reeally fast on the sit and spin.
last weekend we went to the zoo to see curious george. we weren't sure if he would be a real monkey or this - Max loves curious george.
and he reeally loves riding trains. the zoo train is fun and i have a picture of me at his age riding this same train with my mommy. pretty cool.

The Stork came...

and brought us this happy baby.

daddy the forklift...

Happy Easter

Where's Max?

well i think this should be an easy one...

have you figured it out, yet?

it should be getting easier...

yep, it's our San Francisco vacation...

Healdsburg

This was mommy and daddy's play time, but everyone seemed to have fun:)

A Future Cyclist?

We found him sleeping with this favorite toy...

Fisherman's Wharf

We took the bus to Fisherman's Wharf and Ghiradelli Square (the chocolate place as Max says).

The bus was a highlight for Max.

The Sea Lions - not too many, but still loud.

Tea Garden

The Japanese Tea Gardens in Golden Gate Park was a lot of fun to explore.

We even had tea and cookies at the end. Max is not making the tea here, he is making coffee...
