Eli did this amazing thing on Sunday morning. I heard him get up about 8:15 or so but he didn’t come out of his room until 9! I thought he might be working on his valentines cards, which he has enjoyed doing for his ladies love. Finally he emerges and peeks into my room and was […]

Here’s a collection of recent photos from home and around and about. see captions for descriptions

Sunday morning. A time to sleep in late and enjoy a slow start to a beautiful day. One of the cool things about Eliot getting a little older is that he wakes up and pretty much entertains himself until we get up. Sleeping in is one of life’s real luxuries if you can manage it. […]

a nice compilation of scenes of favorite things to do at home lately – garbage sculpture, sacking out in the new booster car seat, eli’s new thing – “Daddy Warming Time” on the couch before school, climbing on jeep, math is always popular, copying words from books (homework), “Daddy warming time” again (every morning)

Okay, so it’s been months since we got it, but I STILL can’t stop thinking about and admiring our awesome table! We got it here: http://www.thewoodenduck.com/v2/home.html This is what it looks like (careful – some are pornographic!): This is what it’s made from: fallen cyprus tree with steel base. This is how big it is:  […]

Last weekend was hot – I’m talking epic hot for the Bay Area. So, appropriately, we assembled the water toys and purchased a new kiddie pool as well as some killer water squirters. Well one thing led to another and by the end of our BBQ on Saturday night, Scott and Eliot were embroiled in […]

Update for this week: Eliot had a nice weekend playing at Discovery Museum and screwing around with Cousin Bennington at Auntie Kimberly’s 40th surprise party. They were playing up a storm, digging, hauling dirt/bricks/pinecones with the wheelbarrow, tormenting worms and the like. Unfortunately, I forgot to bring along the camera all weekend, but the biggest […]
