2nd place in the league!

noble had a great time playing soccer this season. with a hard fought game against some of his closest buddies, sunshine bicycles lost in the finals. but second place still gave them trophies and losing against friends was no big deal to any of them!

a good day

all day in his robe, harry potter and pomegranite seeds - all noble needs for a good day off from school on veterans day.

4th graders in Sacramento

noble's 4th grade trip to sacramento included stops at the indian museum, sutter's fort and the capital building. we rode the train from richmond and walked many many miles all over the city! the kids had a great talk with Marc Levine's chief of staff and got to go on the senate floor!

halloween 2016

i always swear it's my last year to make costumes. we never have enough time and the kids are so wiggly when we are sizing everything....but somehow we all manage to pull it together. it's especially nice that it's dark during trick or treating so all of the flaws are not recognized :) this was the first year the kids were trick or treating separately so we took the photo the night before.

stinson beach cross country meet

the second and last meet of the year at stinson beach. we were playing at the ebach for longer than the actual meet! noble got 15th place - the last one for a medal.

poaching protest march

ms. honda rallied the kids (and parents) for a protest march against poaching of elephants and rhinos for their tusks and horns. we spent a few days making a huge elephant head and mahala spent some time making pinwheels for the event. it was a warm day in san francisco and the march began and ended in union square. the kids were invited on stage for few minutes to sing a couple of songs they practiced at school. the march took place on the same day in over 100 cities around the world!
