Day in the City

It’s become a tradition for us to take a trip to the Ferry Plaza to buy bread for leftover turkey sandwiches so that’s what we did! Since we live in Alameda now, we take the ferry, which makes the trip even more fun.

We also lucked out with gorgeous weather after a day of rain yesterday.

At the bookstore, we found a plush of the bridge twins that are on Janie’s San Francisco t-shirt.

For lunch, we went to Hog Island Oyster Company and Janie was so happy to have her pick of the oysters.

Peanut also got his favorite grilled squid salad, which he calls “squid jerky”.

Uncle Victor forgot his hat at our house last night so they met up with us after lunch. Janie got to walk Lil Boom on his leash for the afternoon.

We stopped for treats and drinks at the Hyatt and saw all the pretty holiday decorations.

By the late afternoon, we had to head back to Alameda so the kids could take their swim lessons.

Luckily, Peanut managed to catch a quick cat nap on the ferry ride over too.

Thanksgiving 2019

It’s Thanksgiving! Janie made this cool art project at AIK last week. It was perfect for today.

In the morning, the kids sorted cranberries, Janie cut up the apple, and then helped make the cranberry sauce/relish.

She also helped with peeling the carrots and making the gravy with Dada.

Uncle Victor and Auntie Susie came over with Parker and Lil Boom for dinner. Peanut was a little hesitant around his new friend Parker but then warmed up to him quickly.

He helped feed him some puree and then built block towers for him to knock down.

Janie also got some snuggle time with Lil Boom.

We had another fun and tasty Thanksgiving and happy to have part of our SF family back in our home for this holiday.

4-year-checkup

Peanut went to see his doctor today for his 4-year well child visit. He had his blood pressure taken and did a great job with the hearing test.

He also got weighed and measured like a big boy.

His least favorite part was taking his clothes off. This guy rarely wants to take his shirt off, not even in the pool. So he wore Mama’s jacket while he waited for the doctor to enter the room.

He also got his eyes checked and failed on one of his eyes. Looks like he needs to keep wearing his glasses and see an optometrist again soon.

He was so brave today and did a great job getting two shots in his arm. As a special treat, he picked out an umbrella for the rainy season.
