Thanksgiving 2008

We spent Thanksgiving with Nana & Poppy. Owen had a great time sprinting around the house finding all the glass figurines and torturing the poor dogs!

Far too quiet for far too long...

Most parents will tell you that anytime you suddenly realize it's been far too quiet, for far too long, you're in for a massive mess of a surprise.

But lately, whenever that panic sets in and I start to frantically look for Owen and the mess that's sure to follow, more often than not this is what I find....

Gosh he's cute!

And smart!

San Francisco Aquarium

We recently went to the San Francisco Bay Aquarium. Owen loved seeing all the sharks and fish in the tunnels.

But he really loved running through the tunnel!

Touching the sharks was fun too!

Santa was also there! Our first sighting of the season and it looks like it'll take some time to warm up to him!

All-in-all, another great day for the Robins Fam!

Art Class

Owen and I recently finished taking an 8 week art class! It was great. He could paint, draw, glue and glitter to his heart's content and I didn't have to do anything but follow him around the room!

His favorites were: painting with cars, the crown that he wore for weeks after, and the Halloween necklace.

Here's the proof:

A Grandma's House

Ever since we visited Grandma Claudia last month, everything is about Grandma's house. The trains all go to Grandma's house. If 'talks' on the phone, it's to Grandma. If we're getting in the car it's "Bye-bye gym?", "Bye-bye J-ba's house?" (his best little friend) and then "Bye-bye Grandma's house?".

Granted, we do go to the gym or Jacob's house almost every time we get in the car, but we've NEVER driven to Grandma's house! We fly!

The kid sure loves his Grandma!

Hot November Day

It was close to 90 degrees in early November and we celebrated by hitting the beach!

Owen is big fan of the beach.

Santa Cruz also has a very fun carousel!
