Happy Birthday to Grammy and Graunty!

Eleanor can't contain her excitement!



We love you both and can't wait to see Grammy again this week!

Getting ready for school

I'm playing man-to-man defense this week with mom down in San Francisco for work.

We've had a ton of fun and Eleanor's made it really easy. In no small part due to her rapidly blossoming enthusiasm for school each morning.

She's super excited to get ready and head out the door to see all her friends.

Then again, if was this beautiful, I'd be pretty amped to get to school too.

Oh, and one more...

Gorgeous weekend/lady

Absolutely beautiful weekend here. Cold and clear and sunny with that beautiful autumn light in the afternoon.



We took it pretty easy and did a bunch around the house. Mindy kept sick-fall '09 going with a 24-hour bug that thankfully seems to have passed.

We ventured out this morning and visited the zoo. It was kind of chilly and there weren't very many people there, but the animals were on full display (for a change).

Ellie got really excited about seeing all her favorites.





Hope you're having a great autumn too!

Ready for fall

Which is a good thing since it's going to be 34 degrees here tonight.



Brrrrr, dude.

As we likely love you too...

You shall also benefit from Julie and Eric's lack of proximity.*

Enjoy.






*And my excellent singing.

Just hanging out, looking like a big kid

Consider yourself warned, dangerous levels of gorgeousness were reached today.

Still feeling much better, thank you
