One of Eli's most favoite play things when is comes over is 

the mylar balloon.  We think he likes the color and rustling sound. 

Just moments before, Eli was "talking" up a storm.  Couldn't
get him to talk with the camera on.  He sure can drool a lot.  

Bathed and de-drooled, Eli waits to be dressed.  Leila probably planted 

two dozen kisses on Eli today.  Eli is lucky to have such a loving big sister. 

short but sweet (and cute!)

Despite my desire to take advantage of my only kid-free computer time for the day, my body is begging me to crawl under the covers and go to sleep. So once again, I leave you with a very short post: just two pics to satisfy your curiosity!


Leila learns how to play catch at Golden Gate Park.















Eli gets a grip on his trusty Lamaze cube.

Well, since it's nearly 1:00 am and I need to work at 6:30 in the morning, I only have time for this one pic. I just wanted to get a new one of the kiddies up since it has been so long. Eli loves his fluffy frog towel, and Leila loves her red marker (all over her face!).

Leila goes to Carolynn's Montessori Day Care three times a week. She loves it there. Max is one of the two child-friendly dogs.

Leila and Mommy are having a good time together.

Eli's in his own world .




It was the opening day at the new California Adademy of Sciences in Golden Gate Park. Two cars, two GGB tolls, two tanks of gas, a struggle to find two parking places, and we finally made it,



... only to find out that a limited number of tickets were given away hours earlier.



Leila and Eli didn't mind, though. We all enjoyed the sunny San Francisco day. The picnic on the grass was really quite nice.



Leila got to run around and play football with Mark. One toss went astray.


We'll have to go back another time.
