First Snow
In mid-January Henry, Emma and I joined the rest of Cub Scout Pack 28 for a weekend trip to Camp Marin Sierra, just inside the Tahoe National Forrest a few hours to the east of us.

Summer seemed to go by in no time this year. Part of it was occupied with moving and the remainder was getting settled and establishing new routines and learning our way around.

Emma and Henry both lost their first locks at the age two. (Henry Has A Haircut and Emma Has A Haircut) Cora’s pretty curls lasted a whole year longer before succumbing to the inevitable blades of the coiffeuse.

A few weeks ago we spent the afternoon with the Cub Scouts shooting off rockets. What a blast!

On the way home from our visit to the Monterey Bay Aquarium Henry and I stopped at Marina State Beach.

Henry has only been in Cub Scouts for a few months but our list of activities keeps piling up.
“Daddy, can we go home now? I’m cold,” says Henry after plowing straight into the water. Sounds just like my first visit to the Pacific 20 years ago… Some lessons can only be learned first hand.

Within just a few weeks of moving into our new digs we’ve had not one, but two sets of visitors. And none of them relatives, either!

Happy birthday, Cora Belle! It’s hard to believe that she’s three already. Walking, talking, dancing and giggling with delight. Who could have imagined how wonderful she would turn out to be?
We spent the afternoon and evening in Hollywood, enjoying Cars 2 at the El Capitan Theater. This was our third trip to the historic El Capitan.
