If flowers don't grow where you live, go someplace where they do!

We are having a great time in SF:)

If your shorts get wet in the ocean, wear a skirt instead

If your kids don't like you, show them an alternative

If you don't like the weather, wait a minute

It's about time!

Got a little close too close to the fireplace. I guess its okay because a 9 and 11-year-old can probably drink without spilling.

Bummer :(

And he claims he washed them!

Really!?!

The farewell party that wasn't!

We thought we would be saying goodbye to Wu Xi and Tongtong and wanted to treat the to a fun evening. Tanner and Mason decided on GetAir and Golden Corral.

We had a ton of fun and worked off at least one cookie we ate while jumping wildly.

Their actual departure may call for a repeat performance!

Pond Perfection

I've been thinking about this post since last Sunday. Today is rainy and gray but last Sunday was sunny and beautiful!

We loaded up and went to explore the pond. There was only one other car; a man taking photos. We disobeyed and let Star off her leash to run wild. The pond, of course, is frozen solid so we explored all over.

The excursion was perfect medicine after so much snow and cold!

Great News!

Wu Xi and Tongtong were able to extend their stay in America. Lucky us!
