A special day ... chocolate ice cream! Julius's technique was to hold the ice cream with his left hand while scooping it with his right hand. After finishing, we asked him what was on his hand, and he looked at it and seemed surprised. "Whoa ... chocolate!" He repeated "chocolate" quietly to himself, over and over, while staring at his hand. Priceless.

Grammy helps Julius fill the new bird feeder. No birds yet. Stay tuned.

At the beach, a rocky, rocky beach.

At the foot of Lomard Street, a very crooked place.

A view from the top, the Marin Headlands, after a lovely lunch in Sausalito and a scenic drive.

Grammy feels right at home on this chilly day.

A brisk, windy day at the park ... wheeee!

The Duck Tour

All aboard!

Quack! Quack!

Like a duck in water, these landlubbers look right at home.

On the Cable Car.

Waiting for the cable car, Grandpa's walker makes a nice seat.

Happy Easter!

Violet had an Easter Egg Hunt in her back yard. Staying focused on finding eggs proved to be the biggest hurdle for certain of her guests. Or maybe the toys were planted as distractions to enhance the home field advantage. We'll never know.

Thank you, Violet! 

Happy Un-Birthday, Dan!

Cheers! Staying up late tonight ... seemed much easier for Julius than for Momma and Daddy. I'm sure this won't be the last time that happens. 

Julius is starting to get the hang of this gee-tar thang. 

Coffee anyone? 

Julius and Dan have come a long way. Time was, Juju would burst into tears at the mere sight of Dan, but they're becoming fast friends. 

Bath time is Daddy time! 

Julius started at a new school this week. He likes it. A lot. 

Sometimes, his passion for toy cars makes life a little lonely.
