Midsummer Night’s Dream – An Engagement Party

15 Aug 2011

This weekend we had ourselves a bash! Here are the photos – I have to admit they are badly one-sided, with not enough of Alex’s people! (I didn’t take any photos, and the old adage is true – you never take good photos at your own party. So, that’s my disclaimer.) Alex’s mom, Becky, was our generous and gracious co-host. This gorgeous place is her garden.

Alex and Madie were adorable, the desserts were wonderful, the drinks were flowing, the fire was roaring, the lights were twinkling, the roses were fragrant, the laughter was happy… Let the wedding planning begin!

First Day of School – 1st Grade!

15 Aug 2011

Oscar got Sue for his teacher, and is thrilled to have Lucas in his class. We had a very smooth morning with only one comment of “Mommy I’m nervous!” – Hope he has fun today! (p.s. Where did summer go?! That was fast!)

We forgot to take a photo of the kids on the front steps of the house. I blame that on my sleepyness. Shoot! There goes that tradition. Maybe I’ll fake it tomorrow morning?


Here’s our drive to school – to the left is a big view of Eureka valley/Castro.


We parked across the street and walked down the hill together.


Clarendon!


The classic. I love how this one came out.


Here’s out teacher, Sue Clemente, with Alyssa, from last year’s class.


Hooray! SO happy for this.


There they go…
