Sisters

Molly wanted to make sure I had a picture of them on my "new" phone so we took this one last night. Thanks again to Nana for helping me enter the world is smart phones!

Uncle Nouri

Uncle Nour-i-ph is visiting and everyone is so happy to have him here! Soon we'll all be fighting for his attention. :)

Clara bikes to school

Clara's been almost unstoppable on her bike since she learned to go on two wheels. Every day she begs to bike to school and back. On Wednesday, we were lucky enough to have Nana & Pa visiting on their way back home. They had just gone on a 3 week trip in their Airstream Trailer, including a stay at Burning Man. So, they were well equipped with Nana's spectacular new trike, so she could join Clara on her morning ride to school. Pa borrowed my Radish. Here they are, ready to go!

Park(ing) Day

On Friday, Clara and I visited two sites for International Park(ing) Day - a day where people in cities around the world take over one or more parking spaces to make temporary "pop-up" "parklets". We took the bus to one here in Berkeley, and then zipped down to one by Zach's office and enjoyed eating lunch with him.

Coastal Cleanup

On Saturday we participated in the Coastal Cleanup Day. Molly was enthusiastic about helping the bay for a little while, then decided she'd rather throw things in the water. Clara did some trash pick up, too, but even more quickly became more interested in trying to convince us to let her go in the water, or just sitting and playing on a log and eating snacks. Zach got a lot of cleanup done.

On a side note, a nice Chinese lady we met on the bus told us that Molly's t-shirt says something like "beautiful girl".

Molly the Soccer Fairy

Molly played her first soccer game on Sunday. She's still very enthusiastic about being on the team and even kicked the ball at least one time! The nice thing is that the team and the coach put a lot of emphasis on making sure each kid plays at their comfort level.
Go Molly!
Go Silver Serpents!

Invisible Permanent Tattoos

After dinner tonight Molly & Clara gave Opa some invisible face painting and invisible permanent tattoos. They came out really nicely, don't you think?
