San Francisco for the day

The deYoung advertised FREE admission today and "hands on" art activities for the kids. Though I knew Charles would be too young off we went...thinking at least my friend's daughter would enjoy herself! Here's Charles putting his new skills to use...hangin' around!!

There was a line a mile long and tickets to the actual King Tut exhibit were gone...Angelina (who's 5) may not know the difference!


Decorating tips from the ancients

If you go...you must go to the 9th floor observation deck...there's a fantastic 360 degree view of the city. The Golden Gate Bridge is actually behind us but didn't come out...so.....


we just HAD to get up close and personal!


I call this one "GIRiLLA IN THE MIST"



And this candid little shot is so funny...a little too close for comfort? After Angelina diligently shared all her lunch, chased Charles down all over the quad, picked him up, brushed him off...etc etc...he thinks THIS is too close for comfort??? ha ha.


the Tut exhibit ends at the end of March and in May the impressionist from the d'Orsay in Paris are coming apparently b/c the d'Orsay is closing for renovations??

Phone videos

OK, first off it's WAY cool that I actually know how to work some of this technology and my KIDS DON'T!! I learned how to get pix and video OFF my phone (finally) and onto my computer by watching...You tube...I know my mom thinks I'm speaking Greek...or, "geek" anyway...
Like I said before...I'm NOT a geek, I'm on facebook, so I'm a "renaissance woman." ha ha
Charles and I were practicing hanging at the park. He's pretty good at it. Dad met us there and swung on this thing which Charles thought was awesome, and wanted to try also.

Note...no babies were harmed in the making of this video. Steve does not actually drop Charles as it might appear...as he leaves the frame safe in daddy's hands. Daddy only let go when Charles was on the ground. Believe me...a fall like that...breaking his 23 day record! You would have heard about it.

SITES AND SOUNDS

Charles is 23 days injury and illness free!

Here is a video clip of him just last night. Though he still does not talk, he shows his intelligence in other ways...fine by us since we have a house of talkers anyway! ha ha.

Tiger is everyone's favorite and for a while now his brothers look at him and say "Charles, do tiger!" and Charles is happy to comply.
