We went on a family outing to Mt. Diablo state park yesterday. The summit has one of the largest views in the western United States. It was very windy at the top.
The twins particularly enjoyed Rock City, which is an area of unusually large sandstone formations and small caves.

Happy Thanksgiving

Justin’s Mom came up with Stuart for a few days over Thanksgiving. We all had dinner at my sister’s house. There were 16 people total, and it seems like my sister is following my parents’ tradition of having a potluck Thanksgiving dinner for all nearby friends and family every year. My mom flew back in [...]

I forgot to tell you we switched the nap schedule around to only one nap per day while we were in Mexico. We (well, I) didn’t want to spend four hours of daylight lying down with them on the hard hotel bed, and we kept them active enough the rest of the time that they [...]

And even the travel part wasn’t that bad, except that the door-to-door travel time was longer than 12 hours, which was very difficult for toddlers who have a hard time sitting still for any length of time. Taking that into [...]

Dancing with Claire

My sister had a party last weekend, and I didn’t get a chance to take a picture of the babies in their party finery either before or afterwards. However, our friend Deno caught me dancing with Claire before the party got too crowded and took a picture. The twins were very well-behaved and Ronin only [...]

We went to the Oakland Zoo on Sunday. One of the reasons we went was because Ronin, turning the pages in his animal book last week, pointed to a picture of a crocodile and said “A-gator.” He might have been a little inaccurate, but it sure was impressive coming from a boy who could only [...]

It started raining the day before Halloween and hasn’t stopped. I’ve been researching rainy-day activities, and yesterday we went to the Blue Sky Family Club for lunch and baby gym. It says it caters to families with children: “We know what it is like to take kids out – what a hassle it can be! [...]
