Parker Graduates!

Parker enjoying lunch at Preschool

I have been pretty busy these days and so I haven't been able to get things on the blog very fast but earlier this month Parker graduated from Preschool. I can't believe they had graduation for preschool. But kids do things younger and younger these days. Why not graduate too! But Parker was really excited to have a party to end preschool. Which actually was anti-climatic because he still is going preschool. The head school teacher needed to have graduation early for her to be there. Nevertheless it was a success. The Preschool made these darling memory books full of pictures and artwork done by each child for the kids to take with them. Plus Parker even got a big balloon and a trip to the ice-cream store for the occasion. He had to have one after he saw another child receive balloons for graduation. Orfalea, the preschool he has been attending has really done an outstanding job educating and nurturing Parker. They love all of him, the good and the bad, and have always worked with us to make sure Parker would be successful in life and he really has improved emotionally and socially since starting there. We will miss this wonderful school and their excellent teachers!

Parker and his favorite Teacher, Teacher Selma. Nice Face! He reminds me of his uncle Steve, always making a goofy face in a picture.

Fun with Friends!

We had a great time this week with our Friends from Arizona who came to visit us and get a glimpse of life in San Fran. I think they were stunned by the cold and couldn't wait to get back to the desert climate. It was good seeing them again. We all reminisced about our single and dating days and had flashbacks of "Emmet" the Band!

For those of you who did not know this Paul was in a band named Emmet, and well although we did not name our second son after the band, the band being named Emmet did have some influence on the choice! We did some pretty traditional sightseeing and not so traditional. Visiting the Wharf, Aquarium by the Bay, China Beach and a Surrey ride around Stowe Lake. The latter was pretty wild with all of us panting just to get up the hills on this crazy 4 man and 4 kid's bike! But we made it. Parker and Emmet loved visiting our friend's oldest child Evan. Parker is still talking about him saying " you remember Evan?" " I want Evan to come play with us."





Sweet Ride!
And...nice helmet's!
