Amara Conquers the Mission



Justin took us on a rainy-day adventure to the best taco truck in San Francisco, followed by a specialty ice cream shop. All big hits and neighborhood walking was great fun, despite the weather.

Amara Takes on Chinatown




and eats a moon cake...filled with beans.





Thanksgiving Feast

We had a wonderful Thanksgiving meal...check out Dad's ponytail, Eli's plate at the table and Amara cutting with her knife and fork!

A little blue octopus

Well, this is our only picture of the whole costume (including the eyes). It's not the best picture but Amara was not happy about putting on her costume or going outside for pictures. Although she looks happy in this picture, she was half-crying, chasing me around the yard saying "Hold me, hold me!" Alas...once at Yvette's party, she actually had a lovely time.

The Eyes Have it

Our gift bag included these groovy glasses, a big hit with everyone!



Amara's Friends

Well, it turns out taking a picture of 4 kids under the age of 2 and 1/2 is very difficult. Here's our best attempt, from left to right:

Sadie (who was a snowman but refused to put on her costume)

Greta (back): bumblebee

Amara (front): octopus who refused to wear her hat with the eyes

Lila: bat

On the run

Smart Girl

Amara went to the aviary this weekend with Justin. He pointed out to her the Northern Helmeted Currasow, and in response she asked the bird if he could take off his helmet? Good thinking...Justin replied he needed to keep it on because it was raining out :-)

Amara Parties it up at the Little Gym










We went to the Little Gym's Halloween Celebration - lots of kids, but Amara had a great time. The pictures didn't come out that great, but we're so delinquent in getting new pictures up, I wanted to share them anyway.
