Humphry Slocombe




We love trips to Humphry Slocombe when Pappa is in town. Next time we have to try the salt and pepper flavored ice cream.

Going to the Beach


Zoe loves to make books and cards and envelopes -this is one of the things they do a lot of at school as part of their play-based curriculum. She is getting good at writing the letters and made this card "going to the beach" today (of course I told her how to spell it). She said she wanted to write "going to the beach" because it's her favorite thing to do.

Fairyland










What an amazing day we had at Children's Fairyland! It's like a little mini Disneyland right in Oakland. It doesn't have real rides like Disney but it also doesn't have the crowds or the lines. Zoe had the time of her life and we all can't wait to go back.

mother's day at the deYoung





this is how we roll


We realize it's a bit backwards for big sister to sit and little sister to stand but this is our preferred method of transport as of late. We are anything but conventional.

Arushi and her mom (and old friend of mine) came to visit all the way from India!

The girls think that blowing bubbles in the bath makes for a fun and different kind of bubble bath.
