If you're in San Francisco, watch out. You're probably being moblogged by a blogher.

Photos from the 4th. We were all a sick, but managed to get outside for some of the good weather. We did quick warmup trips to the Fillmore Jazz Festival so T can be ready for next year's New Orleans JazzFest.

On the swing at Alta Plaza Park. Great views and good playground.

T is sometimes a little, well, over enthusiastic. Here's 3 minutes of dinner time to show you what it is like living with the little bundle of joy. Does anyone know a good exorcist?

Teddy is having a great time trying to stand up on everything. Here is a video of something he does about 20 times a day: stand up, pound on the table/chair/whatever, and make funny noises. (I won't show the video of him following seconds later. He bumped his chin and bit his tongue.)

Big thanks to Anna, Mike, Owen, Griffin and Isabel for watching T a couple weeks ago. Al and I went out for a good  meal at Range. I spent most of the time reminiscing about when it was Timos and the birthday spot in our twenties. We pulled out some of the toys and stuff in our art bin; kids of all ages still love Playmobil. 

...they will of course be Teddy's fault.  (I can't believe these are photos are already a month old. I have some catching up to do.)

We had a great time with the family hanging out in Healdsburg. Great weather, fun pool time, backyard football and baseball, sleeping in an Airstream, winery visit, and of course an awesome time with the cousins, aunts, uncles and grandparents. Some photos -- intentionally close -- of the cousins. (Unfortunately many didn't come out. *Need* to work on photography skills.)

We missed Kate, Lanny and John, but it's always fun with 6 kids under under 9. And we had a special visit from Marlon Perkins...which led to a visit to Safari West for the cousins.

Great weekend with the cousins (and family) in Healdsburg. T was [briefly] the center of attention.

For my dad, too. T is crawling!
