We're Going to be Friends

walking
Fall is here,hear the yell
back to school,ring the bell

I can tell that we're going to be friends...

Firsts

Today is Jackson's first day of preschool.  I asked him to take a picture with me on the jungle gym and he pointed to the car 5 feet away and said "sit there" while he climbed with another little boy.  So over me.  So ready.   Pics to come.

And today while the excited, proud, nervous and a-little-sad parents dropped off Jackson at school, Eliza went to her first gym class with Luchy at the gym that Jackson started taking classes at when he was 1.  So happy.

Labor Day Weekend

Thank you to all our amazing guests -- some who stayed the night and some who just graced us with their presence for an hour or two. And to those who hosted us, a big thank you. Happy birthday, Chris!





Searching for Airconditioning...

I'd like to say last weekend was all about "culture" but really we were just looking for places to run around with lots of air conditioning.  We went to the science museum downtown (lots of fun) and the Gene Autry Museum and stumbled upon this interactive exhibit -- a Chinese family's home in Los Angeles in the late 1800's.
