Oscar learned to make Bread (and butter too) in his first week of school!
He brought the recipe home, and Nanu helped him make his own. It was delicious!
(full disclosure, Nanu used a second ‘rise’. This was not Nanu’s first bread rodeo.)
The kids are off to a fun start!

Ps. A past version of bread at Nanu’s house.
Let’s be clear. In terms of the weather, Summer is still on it’s way. Our summer is Indian Summer, and happens once everyone is back in school. But there is nothing to be done about that. I’m talking about the calendar, and the last day of summer is a wistful Sunday that ends with a “school night” – early bedtime.
The sun was out, and we didn’t have anything scheduled, so we just hung out.

We had an awesome Pool Play Date yesterday, at the Embassy Suites.
We caught the cousins on they way home from a Hume Lake camping trip. Mike was doing a couple days of work while in the neighborhood of Walnut Creek. This is his usual place to stay while he is in town for business. It was rather unusual for him to have all of us there!
We had vague plans to go out for dinner, but do you know how good the “happy hour” is at Embassy Suites?
Free Cocktails for the moms (later joined by the dads). Hearty snacks, plus coloring papers and crayons for the kids, and circuit paths thru the koi pond jungle. The ‘hour’ became multiple hours of easy parenting.
We made promises to do this again at the very next opportunity.
Two Tabbies, a boy and a girl, from the same litter. About 4 months old. She’s smaller and golden brown, he’s larger and more grey, with a little spot on his nose. They are San Francisco natives. I think they’re Beauuutifulll…

They are very healthy – the vet report says Nothing to report, so that’s great! They’ve been chipped and fixed.
We’re so happy to have them both!

Hank James Rice was born on July 25th… If you guessed 9 pounds (like I did) you’d be really close: he was 9lbs, 1oz. The delivery went really well and Madie is feeling good! Alex is a proud and loving papa. Hank is a sweetheart – We can tell already. Isn’t he adorable?!
He has beautiful thick blonde hair. We’re all gaga over it.
Email me if you need Madie and Alex’s new address!
