VALHALLA 2ND GRADER?????

We're off to second grade

Yep, we are settled and a second grader already.
He was nervous and hesitant, but seemed pretty excited to create his own little world. I am so happy for Parker and am confident that where ever he goes and what ever he does God is in his little heart and his heart is good. Oh, and he can make ya laugh.

Parker, Peekie, Parker Pine, Peekido, P, Peekido Little
I LOVE YOU
You are amazing
You have the best and biggest heart and you wear it on your sleeve (I like that)
Don't ever be ashamed of your giving and loving soul. Embrace life, have fun, play and be you cause we ALL like you.

HOME 2009

We have arrived


Took a break from unpacking to enjoy some of the Bay we came back to.
We went to Tilden Park. Rode the steam train, carousel, went to the nature center, little farm and took a hike. This is SO what I needed!!!! The move went fine, but it really was down to the wire and I was STRESSED out.
We are SO thrilled to be home and already have been hiking a lot and riding bikes on the bike trails. I am so excited to share with Andrew (someone who understands) the importance and joy of growing up in the area. I can't wait for the boys to LOVE and appreciate San Francisco as much as us and enjoy the outdoors and all the perks of living here.

1st adventure DONE ...
a million to go!







Nature Center and they had to get some strange magnifying glass inspecting thing at the gift shop



Our new favorite pass time ... hiking. It was WONDERFUL and they were SO happy.
I am used to being in LB so I forgot jackets and wow we needed them. Oops my bad.


All day the animals were giving be pictures of their tongue weired

This Pig had the funniest butt EVER!

After Cohen fed this celery to the goat he demanded the goat go get a drink of water and ... the Goat did!
PS see the tongue ...again c'mon farm animals gosh

For some reason it seemed as if this goat was smiling for me

It was a beautiful day and the outdoorsness was perfect!
