St. Mary's Crowd

Shaina and Sarek spent some time together. Shaina was a sport and showed Sarek how the big kids use St. Mary's park. Sarek was happy to have her there as a playmate. He also spent a good deal of time chasing around some teens who were playing a modified game of tag. Sarek charmed them and they incorporated him into their game, instead of just being annoyed he was getting in the way.

Zeke and Chris shot some baskets. I'm not sure who won, but Zeke got at least one in on the old man.
Later Zeke tried to take back the wrestling crown from Uncle Brett. However, I am still champ, having won three out of three matches. Until next year my young padawan.

Relax

Shaina Turns Nine

Happy birthday Shaina.

Elmo on the Line?

Chris pulls a fast one on Sarek. Should he be the one to break the news about Santa? Totally unrelated but....What kind of animal is Elmo? Big Bird is a bird, Kermit the Frog a frog, Miss Piggy a pig, Cookie Monster a monster....but whiny, tiny Elmo??

Goodbye, Boo Hoos, and Thank you!

Grandma Tarah left this morning after a lovely visit with her San Francisco brood. We were sad to see her go! Thank you, Grandma, for babysitting, breakfast feasts, ponytails and hair clips, Nola, birthday pumpkin cheesecake, chicken curry during our quarantine, adventures on the bus after the skateboarding park, apple pie, and your boundless energy keeping up with our kiddies.

Beachin' It in November

Took Sarek to the beach so he could run around without getting anyone else sick.

Quarantine

Grandma Tarah makes her blog debut by coming to the rescue. Our clan was stuck inside while Sarek recovers from swine flu, and GT made us a wonderful chicken curry. We hope to recover soon so we can spend some  quality time together.

Zeke's Football Game

The family cheers on Zeke and Balboa High. Our little Zeke is playing football!! Can you believe it?
