food firsts and to the zoo

Silas gave cereal a try and from the looks of his face, was not to fond of the stuff. He actually does better trying to get table food into his mouth. I am not sure he is getting any nutritional value out of the deal, but he is not hurting quite yet:)
We went to the zoo with M, L and T, as well as T, S and B. We had a great time seeing the animals and playing in the water. It was a beautiful day and lots of fun. Also a pic of Naomi asleep with her babies.

Festival Fun

A few pics from the festival this year, if you can call it that. It rained nearly the whole time, stopping for a few evenings of rides and the parade. We'll take what we can get!

my bubba

So Silas is now 6 months old. He weighs in at a whopping 21 lbs. He is 95 % for weight and height. This guy gives new meaning to pleasantly plump. What a buddy.

San Francisco

We were in San Francisco over the weekend. We met T and N there and had a great time. Some highlights were Alcatraz, Fisherman's Wharf, Sonomo wine country tour, Sausilito, Golden Gate Bridge, Muir woods (very tall old redwood forest), trolley ride, Ruth's Chris and a big dessert at the original Ghiradelli Square. We crammed all of that in two days with 6 month Silas in tow. He was such a good boy. Thanks T and N for meeting us. It was just like old times.

starting preschool

Naomi had her first full day of preschool this week. She has been waiting for her turn to go to school and loved her princess backpack. She even gathered a few school supplies of her own when we picked the boys stuff up. She goes to a great little school that emphasis God's love. What could be better.
