Guess What Happened Next?

well, not this time, but plenty of times before... you guessed it! Every book came off the shelf. I think she's figured out that it's not my favorite game!

Tante Margit, Uncle Jim & Livvy

Last week, Margit & Jim came to the Bay Area to see Brian perform in La Boheme with the SF Opera. It was a wonderful show! (Liv had a good time with Pablo & Amanda). And we did some sight-seeing the next day! Such a great opportunity to visit; we had beautiful weather, a great hike through town & a terrific dinner!

Another great shot from the T-giving weekend.

Jeff building explosives out of household stuff with Kim's boys & the neighbor kid. I'm sure we'll be invited back!! hahaha

Ashley & Summer coming out of the slide! Just too cute to keep to myself!



Kristen & Ethan - again, too cute not to share!
