Rihanna warmup act - dj from Brooklyn

Not with the kids of course - looking forward to a fun concert; & a
great end to a great day!

Fun at the (Windy) Beach

We had a great weekend and, despite the wind, had a ton of fun at the
Marina Beach both days. Daddy had a nice Father's Day - and now the
boys can't wait to get back into their swim trunks every day for
swimming lessons!

We did forget water and food and other things - would've been better
if we'd consulted this list first... check it out (and add more!) :)

Auntie Marsha, Gina, & Livia

They came to say happy birthday to Auntie Heather, who's 33 today!

Other Peoples' Toys

Are always better!
In this case, cousin Ante's awesome motorbike rocker. :)

3 generations... Almost

Grandad Doug came today & we are looking forward to a fun weekend! :)

3 rascally cousins

We walked together to the store - the rascals were ...rascally. &
teaching their cousin how to do the same. Lucky Heather. :)

32.5

The boys & I have come to Chicago to visit Auntie Heather, Uncle Tommy, & Ante.

Sleeping Buddies

Ain't they cute?

From Scardey-Cats to Ducklings

Today was the last swimming class, but in very un-San Francisco
fashion, it was pouring in June.

That didn't stop our Ducklings from *begging* to go swimming. We had
bought goggles last week, & they were practicing wearing them all
week, so how could we say no?

They were the only kids in the class so they had a 'private lesson'
which they LOVED. Thanks, teacher Karla, for helping our Ducklings
gain such a love of the water!

I Did It!

...and with that, the first weekend of Rohan's potty training is
coming to an end, and we have proof that he will, in fact, *not* go to
college without being potty trained.

We have not been adamant about the topic, though we are roughly
following the 3-day potty training method. We've had lots of accidents
(particularly out of the house- he has yet to use a potty other than
his own little blue one) but we have simply removed his diaper & he's
gone 'commando' outside (as in this photo) and completely pantless at
home...
Thus were rewarded this evening, after dinner & some liquids, when we
watched with breathless anticipation as he walked on his own to the
bathroom with his hand on his crotch & a concerned look in his eye. He
came out shouting the title of this post, and ran into my arms with a
grin - and I was thrilled to reward him with cheers, kisses, & a big
hug.
Ye!
