kid party!

Eloise's school had a little graduation party today for all the kids that will be starting kindergarten next week. The weather was perfect and we had a lot of good food, nice speeches, a wonderful slide show, and finally - an awesome dance party. Such fun!

mini-heat wave

We had one of those rare (in Berkeley) days over 90 degrees today. Too hot to do anything except sit in the back yard and play with water. Eloise showed Owen all the best ways to keep cool.

interview with Owen

Hear what Owen has to say about dogs, elephants and fish!

more vacation

We spent another great week at Mana and Pata's house. Matt had to go back to Berkeley a few days early, so E, O and I spent more days feeding the fish, etc. We finally came back home yesterday on an airplane (where Owen wriggled in my arms the whole entire flight).
It was a great vacation, but it's also great to be back at home.

vacation

We've been having such a nice, super relaxing vacation! There's nothing quite like the lazy days of summer in Estacada. Eloise and Owen have been spending the mornings playing with Mana and Pata while Matt and I get to sleep in. We've all been spending the afternoons playing on the front lawn, and we have to squeeze in a little time in the hot tub, playing in the creek, and napping every day. So nice!
