Fall 2011

Sassy Cat and the Lion
"ROAR!"
Mia wore her winter bonnet during our weekend in Yosemite. She looked darling, but I kind of felt like the mother of a fundamentalist.
Happy campers.
"MEOW!"

Preschool graduation.


Wow. Time slips by quickly these days. We're busy with swim lessons, and karate, and of course, playdates. Mia just had a disco party to celebrate her 5th (paperwork) birthday. The disco party turned into a trampoline party. Samuel loves Justin Beiber, Dora, and anything with wheels. We've got a short summer ahead of us. Mia starts a kinder camp on August 1st. The school has this program to introduce Spanish to the incoming kindergarteners. How do you teach a 5 year old to rush in the morning?

Well, it finally happened...

Samuel found the dress up box.

Mia is so proud.

Day 4, Fun with Grandma AND Grandpa

Totally worn out from all the fun.
We took a beautiful hike down by the creek, then came inside for a little coloring.

Day 3, Fun with Grandma, Happy Hollow

Worn Out!

Who would have guessed a fun day with Grandma would include petting a snake?

Day 2, Fun with Grandma, Monterey Bay Aquarium

Day 1, Fun with Grandma, Casa de Fruta
