August has been a wonderful month spent home in Palo Alto and enjoying our local activities and area. We even went on our first family bike ride!
Elsa and Liam continue to enjoy their swim lessons. Elsa is getting to be a better and better swimmer, going quite far all on her own. See a video from her lesson:
Elsa continues to enjoy DCC, her preschool, and this month they had two fun fieldtrips. The first one was to the downtown libray.
And the second one was to Pizza My Heart to make pizza!
With one of her MINI friends, we went to a local children's theater outdoor play, and it was fun to see Hope and Elsa together again (with Hope's big sister).
Liam continues to grow and is now 8 months old and an amazing crawler - getting into anything and everything. See him crawl:
He also really likes to pull himself up to see what is going on around him.
We keep trying solid food with him and it is sometimes very messy.
We went on a fun outing to the Academy of Sciences in San Francisco, with my Aunt Jan.
Our butterfly Elsa enjoyed all the butterflies.
Liam liked it too.
We went to the Palo Alto Art festival, and Elsa even contributed some of her own art.
I continue to like to dress the kids up in matching outfits, and watch them as they are starting to play together.
And sometimes it is nice for some special Elsa time, like eating ice cream on the deck.
