Anna must have asked me "why?" 30 times today. Let's see, what did I try to explain today? Capitalism and the reasons for telemarketers; how grown men generally celebrate their birthdays (Me: "They like steak more than cake." Anna: "No cake?!!?"); and why her friend Josie was not at gymnastics today. There were some others, and one of them ended with me saying "I don't know." Then her "why?" Then me: "'Cuz I'm not very smart." I guess I'm finding out just how not-smart I am. I better start reading up on stuff.
We hit Baker Beach again this weekend.
Anna and I went there with Rachel and Anna, Jr., last weekend. There was half of a puppet show, ring around the rosie, train rides and exotic animals. Fun for all. Rachel says Anna W. was still talking about it days later.
We got to go to gymnastics with Brian last weekend, so I took some photos of Anna in action.
We got to go to the beach last week with Eva and Levi. They came all the way to us and we went to Crissy Field. The girls squealed running from the waves, and got buried in the sand, and held hands. So sweet! Thank you, Levi, for the wonderful photos.
And last weekend, we got to hang out in the sun with Cori and Luke. They live in the East Bay, where it's warm almost all the time. Anna and Luke had the best time sliding into the baby pool and running around the back yard.
They live in L.A. now, and we miss them; it's been far too long since we've gotten together. So it was a good day ... we got to see Ben and Kristina and we got to eat Delfina pizza. I hope they come back into town more often.
Ben and Anna play with the breadsticks:
We got a babysitter for Anna tonight, and under a full moon, ate great sushi, had a drink at a decades-old, dark-wood, old-timey Nob Hill "establishment" and walked around in lovely weather in our beautiful city. A very nice 6th anniversary night.
Poor Anna. Some small stomach bug kept her up all night Thursday and she wasn't able to eat much Friday, poor thing. She is so snuggly and sweet when she's sick, but this time, she did not like mommy and LOVED daddy. Good for daddy, bad for mommy. When else will I get to snuggle with her? She's all better now. Though come to think of it, she's still not very fond of mommy ...
Asleep for a nap on our bed:
