Scott and I haven't travelled much in the past nine years. But we feel like we are making up for it this year. We have left our kids a couple of times and taken our kids a couple of times. Scott had a conference in San Francisco on August 18th and I went with him for the weekend. We did all of the usual tourist things. Cable Cars...

Fisherman's Wharf where we loved watching these sea lions...

Lombard Street...

The aquarium full of sharks and eel, etc...

And just had a blast hanging out! Sometimes its fun to remember what life was like before we had kids, but then we miss them too much and can't wait to get home to them.

Cute Allie - She is 4 now and starting preschool next week. She still loves to play dress-ups, but now she spends more time with the kitties and painting.


Sara is so funny and loves to put on a show. She was dancing and singing and making me laugh so hard I had to take a picture.

Hanna is practicing her photography skills and loves to take pictures. As you can see I am happier about posing than Carter is.

The first day of school. Sara is going in to 1st grade and so excited about staying at school through lunch time. She picked out this favorite outift and was really excited about the matching shoes and head-band.

Hanna is a seasoned 2nd grader, not as nervous or excited. She is really excited about her new backpack that hangs over one shoulder.

Well, I am not a cat person and neither is Scott, but that doesn't matter because we now have 7 cats living in our garage. Our kids are crazy about them and we hate to admit it, but we think they are pretty cute. On July 24, 2007 Syrup had 5 kittens and we have a 9 month old kitten named Waffles. We will definately give them away when they are 8 weeks old, but they are really fun for now.
This is oatmeal and Syrup.
This is Coco and Allie

This is scrambled eggs, burnt bacon, and french toast.
Scrambled eggs loves to climb.
