We're Back

It was a very Merry Christmas with Abuelita. Only crappy cell phone pics because someone (Poppa) can't find our camera. But we do have a new video camera replacing the old one that someone (Poppa) lost - so look for some holiday video soon.

SoCal winter is like fall anywhere else.

Dance-Along Nutcracker

We're off to LA. Merry Christmas to all.

Ho Ho Ho

Not Our Christmas Picture

45 minutes, 45,000 pictures and not a decent one in the bunch.

It's Short Attention Span Theater X 2.

18 Month Checkup

22 lbs 13 oz - he's gained almost a full pound since Sept. Just like Poppa. 31 inches - a full inch taller than Sept., which I suspected because all of his pants were suddenly too short. All of his lovely little teeth are in except for the final molars which Dr. Anne says we can expect next summer. We're on a six month schedule now so we won't be back until he's 2 (!) next June. There will be one final set of shots and then he's done until kindergarten, the idea of which I can't really grasp. And best of all, we're cleared for peanut butter, which means PB&J every day.

Country Boy

Lonan's buddy Evan and his dads invited us up to their place in the Gold Rush country. Lots of room for little monkeys to run around.

There were also a number of wineries in the area..

which the big monkeys enjoyed very much.

Evan was an excellent host. He calls Lonan "Lo".

Our New Favorite Place

The Bay Area Discovery Museum.

They have a river where you can catch fish..

and music..

Wheee!

And all sorts of play areas and trails and arts and crafts..

and a nice hotel next door with a lovely patio perfect for sipping wine and fighting over Goldfish crackers..

and pole dancing..

until the sun goes down and it gets too cold and it's time to go home.

Riding

Poppa finally put on that bike seat. It only took a couple of hours and a trip to the hardware store.

We rode to the Upper Noe Valley Rec Center.. about 1 mile each way.

Whaddaya think Lonan?

Baby's First Protest Rally

Saturday we took the subway down to City Hall to take part in the big protest rally.

10,000 people turned out. It was a beautiful warm day - 80 degrees!

But all that protesting can be exhausting.

Superstar

Uncle Dennis Agnos snapped this at lunch Sunday. We actully ate out three times this weekend, a record. For a while it was just too difficult with young Master Anderson but I think (hope) we may be entering a new era.

While We Were Away

Mamaw and Abuelita took Lonan to our neighborhood Harvest Festival.

There was face painting..

dancing in the streets..

rides on the fire truck..

and of course ice cream.

Trick or Treat

Cool costume.

You too!

Lucy and Mamaw meet up with Leo and his mom to go trick or treating on Halloween.

We missed our little dinogator so much.. good to be home.
