      • Oakland Zoo
        11/29/07
        Getting to the zoo was a zoo, for Kellen, anyway. Since he doesn't like his car seat for more than five minutes, the 40 minute drive meant Grant and I had to put up with something that sounded like a tormented wildcat screaming into oblivion. Unbelievably, Grant caught a few zzzs through it all

      • Bath Art
        11/28/07
        The boys have recently taken to drawing on anything, anywhere. While we're trying to keep the medium narrowed down to paper with removable marking utensils like pencils and crayons, some of their favorite drawing opportunity comes into play during bathtime.

        Both Kellen and Grant a

      • Giving Thanks
        11/22/07
        Thanksgiving brought more than a great feast: the highlight had to be the fence that Dad, Justin, and John built---expanding my parents' backyard several feet. The little boys looked on, wanting to help, but they had to settle for playing in the trees and looking out the windows instead!---SM <

      • Second Generation
        11/21/07
        I was able to visit with several friends from high school while I was home for Thanksgiving, but one visit in particular, was extra special because we took a walk to a park with our kids---the first time we've ever done that together. I was delighted to see this second generation of friends pla

        Kellen Restless becomes
        Kellen Contented when
        Kellen Marcucci's hands
        Grab ahold of a bus.

        Sometimes it's with a toy,
        Sometimes it's the real McCoy,

        Either way, his admiration inspires a miraculous hush.

      • Children and Church, Very Funny
        11/11/07
        Church, ahh, church. I'm amused by the process of dolling up the boys in their best duds, spending three hours in church, then slowly watching that process unravel. It's laughable. Literally.

        Today when Justin questioned my efforts to brush the boys' hair, I guess he had

      • Falling Leaves
        11/05/07
        Our backyard elm trees have dropped thousands of leaves in the past week, creating the most well-made bed (of leaves) this house has seen since we've lived here. This afternoon we decided to "unmake" that beautiful bed, and an adventure ensued that appealed to everyone's senses.

      • Museum Discoveries
        11/01/07
        Today found us at the Children's Discovery Museum in San Jose with our friends Becky and Ben. The best part about the place is Clifford the Dog---not sure if it's the giant balloon figure sitting atop the museum, visible from the freeway, or if it's the Clifford exhibit itself.
