San Francisco

We were so lucky to have Mike & Julie open their lovely Noe Valley home to us, once again. How many great vacations have we had so far at Casa Clipper?? We had fabulous weather while in the City so we all headed to the SF Zoo one day, where Abigail led the way to all the animal hiding spots...




It was fantastic that Tyler and Sonia were able to join us, too, with little Jackson and Anna.



We finally catch up with an actual peacock -- Abigail's award-winning Halloween costume!


Zoe was in love with Abigail...and vice versa...



Another insanely beautiful SF day... Daddies and their little princesses at the beach at Crissy Field. Does the view get any better than this??



We always have fun (and get a bit nostalgic) going around to all the real SF haunts, like this famous butcher in Noe Valley. Clearly Zoe loves the City as much as we do!


Of course it wouldn't be a trip to SF without a crab feast. Zoe's first introduction to an actual live crab...

We also finally got to meet baby Sofia -- the beautiful little bambina of our good friends
David and Lisa. SF has some great parks for kids, like this one in Diamond Heights overlooking the City's skyline. Another slide expert (Abigail) showing us how it's done on the twisty-style...
Thanks to Steph Kitz for the Harvard sweatshirt -- it really came in handy with the bay breezes...

All in all, another wonderful trip to our favorite City...

Brad, Flo and Adriana

Check out this amazing park in Santa Clara, a block away from the house our friends Brad and Flo just bought. Lucky bums get to take their little girl Adriana there every day!

Adriana showing us her sliding expertise...


Daddies and little girls on a double slide run... How long before they ask for ponies?

Now it's Adriana's turn to show the mommies how it's done!

Party in San Jose


After Dan spent a week in Las Vegas "working", we all stayed in San Jose at Juan and Norma's house and they were kind enough to host a party for all our friends. It was quite a feast of Mexican food and chicken teriyaki skewers.



It was nice to see so many old friends, including some of Amy's old work friends, Ed and Jen.


This is a great picture of two Gabis, two Sofias and one David! A special thanks to the older Sofia and younger Gabi for helping with the delicious chicken skewers.



It was incredible to see so many college and Bay Area friends all at once...and all with kids. Just a few shown here -- Melissa, Julie, Carol and Phil all supervising their little carbon copies.






The weather didn't cooperate for a bbq, so it was pretty wild and crazy for a while inside the house... muchas gracias to Juan and Norma for being such gracious hosts through it all...



Our little party girl...

Gymboree

One of the great things about being home is all the fun stuff available for kids. We went to a free "trial" session at Gymboree so Zoe could play with some other kids her own size -- what a blast, look at all the cool stuff they have!

Flying in Style

Our flight to the US was long but uneventful. Amy and Zoe were able to fly in Business Class while Dan suffered in the cheap seats. So far we are enjoying our visit to the US visiting with family and friends.
