Reading Time with Rachel

We are just so0o glad that Adam & Rachel are still friends from us after that Hawaii trip... here's a cute shot of Rachel reading books to the kids at their place in San Carlos.  SO nice to have these guys just 10 minutes down the road...

Isla in San Mateo!

We finally had Nara and Tracy over for brunch at our place. It was their daughter Isla's first time in San Mateo. After a harrowing entry into the world, Isla is now doing great!!!

Astrid and Thad

Long overdue for a get-together with our old college buddy, Astrid and her husband, Thad, we finally had them over to dinner along with their two kids, Linnea and Eli. Great conversations and fun interactions between the kids made for a great evening.

Morning and Bedtime Routines

Ryan usually gets the boys through their morning routine, allowing Eunice to get a few more minutes of precious sleep. :)


The bedtime routine these days involves bath time, occasionally with jacuzzi jets as a special treat...

Then a naked run around the house in hooded towels...

Thanks George & Linda for the cute puppy and monster towels, and to Jennifer for the one-of-a-kind purple cow towel that Spencer has now been using for 3 years!

After corralling the boys, then it's time for pajamas, brushing teeth, 3 books, 3 songs, and then, at LAST, lights off. Ryan never seems phased when a few extra kids are thrown into the mix. Hmmm... Maybe six wouldn't be so hard to handle after all...?!!!
