Tamar’s Birthday Party
On Saturday, Tamar had her second birthday party at Ruby’s Tumbling in Alameda. Tamar is the daughter of our good friends Tora and Shi. There were about 20 kids and their families there and everyone seemed to have a great time. Ruby’s is a perfect spot for parties for children. Lucius loved the rope swing and all the padded blocks and balance beams. Yet another reason why leaving San Francisco is actually an OK thing to do.
Thanks Tora and Shai. Happy Birthday again Tamar.

Snowy Tahoe Weekend at Anne’s
Our good friend Anne organized an amazing weekend at her place up in Tahoe. There were fours families, loads of great food, and lots of wonderful food. A snow storm kept us their for a couple extra days and we had a blast making snowmen and igloos. The kids and dogs supplied us with a constant supply of giggles and laughter. Lucius loved being up in there and we really need to figure out a way to get him out of San Francisco and up to Tahoe. Anne – thank you so very much!!

Isis Oasis Weekend
We spent the weekend in Geyserville at the Isis Oasis Retreat House. Definitely an interesting place with a collection of parrots, Peacocks, spooky black swans, ocelots and a slew of other animals. Plus there is an Egyptian temple and all of the rooms where we stayed had an Egyptian theme. Had some amazing wine for from the local wineries and generally spent the weekend stuffing our faces.
July 4th in San Francisco
Perfect day and a great party organized by the super couple of Kristen and Jeff Slye. The Pan Handle in Golden Gate Park was just going off with islands of bbqs and parties from beginning to end. We of course where child centric so nothing got too out of control. Loads of cute little ones. Again – hard to think about what we did before children.
Thanks to everyone for the good times.
Also testing out the D300. Solid piece of machinery for sure. But I think I have to agree that the D700 has a better light meter. Of course is that light meter worth the extra price tag? Hard to say.

Picnic with Cat, Stephen and Bern
Sunny, warm days in San Francisco can’t be taken for granted – even when they are on a school night. We put out a call for a picnic at Chrissy Field. Fortunately Cat, Stephen and Bern stepped forward. One roasted chicken, a bottle of wine and pefect weather made for a great night. Bern brought a “dumpy” truck which made for loads of fun. One of those moments that makes it hard to leave San Francisco.

Shelley and Olive at Rossi
Took Lucius for a bike ride and we ran into Shelley and Olive at Rossi Playground. Olive is a great kid with beautiful eyes and loves to run, run, run. And boy – she looks just like her dad. I got a few shots of her but they really don’t do her justice. Maybe next time. Downloads and more photos here
