Fort Funston

On Saturday we took Koa to Fort Funston.  It was nice and sunny so it was the perfect day to go.  Koa hadn’t been there in a while and he looked so happy to be running free.

Exploratorium

On Friday evening (9/7), we went to the Exploratorium for a corporate event.  We got in free with Jes’ badge and brought in the Sokol-Juns too.  The place was packed and since it was a corporate-sponsored event they had some free sandwiches (really small ones) on the floor level and free wine/beer upstairs. Woo!

It was interesting for me and Jes but Kumquat was way too young for most of the exhibits but she still enjoyed all the lights and sounds.  This is a model of “Curiosity” the Mars rover that’s up in space right now. Looked like Kumquat was curious herself and I couldn’t get her attention for this photo.

It was fun to hang out with the Sokol-Juns that night and it looks like Jack and Reese had a good time.

Happy Birthday, Husband!

It’s Jes’ birthday today!  He’s always a bit down on his birthday but he was surprised last night by a little package from Amazon.  It was sent from Brother and it was an ice cube tray that makes huge ice cubes for drinking with Scotch.

He was so excited that he washed it right away, filled it with water, and placed it carefully into the freezer.  For the rest of the night, he went back to the freezer to watch the water freeze and prematurely pulled one of the half-frozen cubes out.

Thanks for the entertaining gift, Brother!  He couldn’t stop saying, “that’s awesome”.

And later today…

We had drinks at Public House with Victor.  It was low-key and just what Jes wanted.

Then we had birthday cupcakes at home.

My Two Dependents

Every evening, I take the dog and baby for a walk.  Koa usually needs to poop and Kumquat needs to be distracted from her rumbly tumbly between 6 and 7.  Today we walked along the water and met up with Jes after work.  It was a good evening with my two dependents.

Yay! She’s back!

My good friend Ranee and her family have moved back to California from NYC!  We met up on Labor Day to do some catching up and to watch Sophie and Kumquat play.  I must say it was really entertaining to watch and exciting to see my little girl interact with another baby. I’m also amazed at how much Sophie’s changed since I first met her 5 months ago.

Ranee’s not going back to work just yet and it makes me wish I was still at home.  Ah…that would be so fun.  We’d have play dates and lunch dates every week!

Welcome back, Ranee!
