How do I have a kid going to any kind of school? I cannot believe that Sophie is off to anything that big girls do. Either way, today was her first day of preschool. She was so excited, she popped out of bed, got dressed in her first day of school dress, pulled on her [...]

How do you feel about the fact that my daughter sang herself to sleep with “Poker Face”? Do you feel any better knowing that it was the Glee version? I do.

We have been enjoying our passes for the Oakland Zoo… it is close enough that I am willing to drive there myself, and there are rides and a park for Sophie. It is also not so big that we get too tired and cranky before we see everything. A couple weeks ago Liz and I [...]

Sophie was playing with the window markers at Grammy’s house and decided to make P-I-E pie one more time…

Sophie likes a PBS show called WordWorld, in the show everything is made of letters. So, to make items they collect the letters and then push them together… ta-da… the item appears! All the animals are made in the shape of their letters…I don’t know if that makes sense, but click on the link to [...]

Last Friday MC Hammer was performing at the Contra Costa Fair… so we decided to head over, with Justin and Meggie. Let me preface this with… most county fairs have free concerts, with admission to the concert included with admission to the fair. Most fairs also have fun things to do that are included… that [...]
