Couch Potato!

This picture shows Alex giggling (and slobbering!) a little! Tomorrow, we are braving another plane trip with the Little Guy- to Kansas for a long weekend.

A new onesie for the Little Guy

Yesterday, we had some friends over for a barbecue at our place. We had a really nice evening! One fun thing was that our friends Karen and Dave brought a new onesie for Alex! You may know that Andy sometimes likes to "debate"... and he loves to argue about politics with Karen! I had to post this picture because it's a really funny gift!

(Sorry that I didn't rotate the photo!)

Finally- a new post!

It has been a long time since my last post! My students came back last week and I have been feeling pretty busy, then tired when I am finished with work. This will just be a quick post for now...

For Labor Day weekend, Uncle Ryan and Aunt Jessica came out to visit and we all had a great time! We are so glad they made the long trip out! On Saturday we barbecued and stayed around the homefront. On Sunday, Laura was really kind to babysit Alex all day- and even took The Small Fry to her family's barbeque!- so that the four of us could go to The City for the day. We wandered all around Haight-Ashbury during the "40th Anniversary of The Summer of Love!" Monday, we all went to the Beach Boardwalk at Santa Cruz and then came back to San Jose for Japanese food. Alex did a great job all day; he was able to see and hear all kinds of fun things at The Boardwalk and really seemed to be entertained at Kyoto Palace! This picture shows Alex in his stroller at The Boardwalk, accompanied by his two new furry tiger friends. (Andy and Ryan threw baseballs so that they could win the stuffed animal prizes! :) Last weekend was really fun!
