Jack's 3rd Birthday Celebration!

We celebrated Jack's 3rd Birthday at the Giants ballpark with family & a couple of his closest friends. Everyone enjoyed the behind the scenes tour, pizza, and cupcakes!

Jack blows out his candle like a pro!

Fun at the Zoo & Welcome 2010!

A trip to the zoo was a great way to spend New Year's Day! Jack had fun waving to a fire engine, watching the train (too loud to ride says Jack), playing with Alex, riding the carousel (he still only likes to sit on the sleigh), and cruising with Ben in our new ORANGE double stroller! Oh, and we saw a few animals--check out the giant anteater.

Happy Hanukkah (a few days late!)

Ben is 1 month!

Ben now weighs 10 lbs. 3 oz. and is 21" long. Not quite as filled out as Jack was at the same age, but he will be soon at this rate!

A friend of ours has pointed out that our kids are named after fast food spots...happy to report they have never set foot in either place! Here are some pics from the last couple weeks:

Big Brother Excitement!

Jack is pretty excited to be a big brother! Ben sure is lucky!!

Welcome Little Ben!

Benjamin Kermit was born on November 9, 2009 at 7:01pm. He weighed 7 lbs 5 oz and was 19.5" long. We brought him home a few days ago & Jack is ecstatic to have a baby brother!

The last hooray (33 months)

We are welcoming baby Kermit into our family tomorrow! So, this week, Jack got to enjoy some of his favorite activities. Today was all Jack's picks: making & eating pumpkin muffins, swimming at the "cool pool" (Palo Alto JCC with slides etc.), grilled cheese lunch at Dinah's, crepes dinner with G&G, N&P, and Aunt Emily at Ti Couz (including his own dessert crepe with chocolate sauce and ice cream) and seeing "the whole city in lights".

We kicked off Halloween season showing off our family In-n-Out costumes at the Oakland Zoo (rides only!) and Dunsmuir October Festival.

Still love this car...

Bobbing for donuts (what happened to apples??!!)

Jack loves accordian music!

We disappointed many strangers who did not know we were in costume

Stuck in the house (32 months)

Jack was home sick with a fever last week, so we did some fun projects. He is finally feeling better today, so this week should be back to usual school, swimming, music, and playgrounds!

Perfect spider pumpkin
