New photos of the kids

While we were in Minneapolis the very talented Sydnee (who works for my parents) took pictures of the kids. Olivia had so much fun with her she asked if she would babysit that evening! To see the pictures, click here.

Minneapolis

The kids & I spent 10 days in Minneapolis in August. We had such a fun time playing with the whole family, going to the state fair, going on the trolley rides and swimming in the pool. Finn got a double ear infection on the trip, but the sweet boy he is hardly complained until he hit is breaking point and we took him to urgent care to get medication. We had no idea he had been suffering! To see all (well, edited) of the pictures from our trip, click here.

5 year anniversary

For our 5 year anniversary, Dean and I were on the same gift wavelength. I got him an iPad and I got a new macBook. We went out for a fantastic & romantic dinner- finally trying some of Oakland's great restaurants. It has been a wonderful 5 years with 2 amazing kids to show for it!

Dollhouses, trains & more!

We met up with Layla, Killian & Asa and the Rosenblatts (who were in town) for some fun at a hobby shop & lunch.


Lots of fun in the Thomas room!
and with dinos!
Love for Kerry!

Getting big!

The boy is coming out of our baby!

A Sunday on Arimo Ave.

Neighbors, lemonade stand & tether ball.








Hike #2 (with new backpack)

We got a new hiking backpack, so now Dean's back doesn't kill him like it did with the ancient pack that was on it's last legs. We went with our neighbors, Melissa, Saul & Sadie and hiked through Redwood Regional Park. It was a cool foggy morning, but much warmer once you were down in the canyon. Finn got a little sick of being in the Ergo carrier and insisted Saul carry him. At the end of the hike, there were a hillside of goats keeping the grass & trees shorn.
