Phone Dump

I take a lot of pictures on my phone and do nothing with them, so here they are for the past few months!

 Sleepy boy.

 A fox outside my office window.

Noah's trip home from the nursery.


 Looking sassy in his sleep.

 The Goodyear Blimp coming in for a landing.

 Turkeys in the zoo parking lot area. If you yell "Turkeeees!" at them, sometimes they'll gobble at you. Noah and I try every time we see them. This time they gobbled.

 Pretty swirly cloud just above the hill.

Summer swim time is here!


 Our baby tomatoes are growing. Yay!

Noah wanted to do some tutoring at my work. If you ever need to learn how to write Noah backward in increasingly smaller letters, he's the perfect tutor for you.


 Goats clearing brush at my work.

 Pretty flowers.

 Some sort of water leak near our house. Noah and I were out for a walk and had to walk in a huge circle to get around it. It was leaking like this for almost 24 hours.

On our walk home, Noah was cold so I gave him my sweater (while I froze) and he absolutely loved it!


 A new bruise just above a healing bruise in the same spot. 

It's about time he earned his keep around here!


 Making silly faces with his lunch on his special face plate.

A pretty flower in our back yard.

Waiting for Daddy

Olivia and Noah stopped at the Zoo to pick Victor up and he was running a little behind, so they had some time to play on the animal shaped playground toys.





Noah has a very vivid imagination. This is the world we all constantly live in.

Tilden Steam Trains

We've ridden the steam trains plenty of times, but the special small scale trains only run on Sundays for a few hours. We were super excited to get the chance to ride them!










Noah really liked this old truck that was made to run on the train tracks and took the picture himself!

Beach Time

With the weather getting nicer, Olivia took Noah down to the beach on a Sunday. They always have some time to kill before elephant seal and sea lion feedings can be charted, so what better way to spend it then playing?!

It's All Greek to Me!

It's May, so that means its time for the Greek Festival in Oakland. We had a blast as usual and were happy that Andrea could join us this year. 
We forgot the camera so you have to put up with cell phone pictures. 

Our friend Nik is in a Greek band who was playing, so Noah went up on stage to meet everyone. 

Dancing/running on the dance stage. 



Our yearly dose of loukoumades. Perfectly delicious fried dough coated in honey and drizzled with cinnamon and nuts. 

Noah approved. 

Andrea approved. 

Victor got in on these as well. 

Too many loukoumades may cause crazy behavior. 


Nik has a great voice. 

On our way back to the car, we made a detour for a quick visit to a firetruck.

Run, Run, As Fast As You Can!

Victor ran a marathon!!! This was his first, but probably not last marathon and we are all very proud of him. 26.2 miles in 4 hours 11 minutes is not too shabby! That made him 8th in his age group and 43rd overall.












Way to go!!!!
