great grandpa's bowl

noble is the 7th great grandchild to eat from this bowl!

what is going on out there?

all the co-op kids love hanging out at the window watching things go by. they are all getting so big and all of them are walking well now. noble (or "momo" as he is called) is on the left and then there is morgan ("mo"), sybille ("be") and lola ("lala")

southern california

last weekend we headed down to los angeles area to stay with deena, gil, tanner, kendall and spencer. the kids (and douglas) had a lot of fun together playing endless games of chess and bumber pool. we were also lucky to see, and pick oranges and lemons with, grandpa, aunt susie and. then on our way back we visited with grandma georgia and ate lunch out by the water. a lot of driving, and a lot of pitstops but it was good fun! we hope we can head down there again and add aunt geri and seena to the itinerary...
