Thomas's Fancy Footwork

Thomas was dancing to music from Peter Yarrow's "Let's Sing Together!" CD.

For our fundraising efforts for UCSF, we have been invited to be featured in their new campaign brochure. The photo shoot proved to be a challenge as the photographer and campaign staff all worked hard to get a couple of particular individuals to cooperate. I think their efforts paid off as we have at least two good shots.

"Thomas, pat Daddy!"

This past week, we spent a few days in Palm Springs with our friends, the Lesters. On Tuesday, we rode on the aerial tramway up to San Jacinto state park in the mountains. At over 10,000 feet elevation, we got a good view of Palm Springs and the surrounding area. It was neat to have started off in the desert and ended up among the snow-capped mountains in less than 10 minutes.

While waiting for our tram, Paul and Camilla decided to play a video game

Camilla and Paul at Stinson Beach (November 7, 2009)

On the day of our departure from chilly Webster, NY, the snow gods bestowed upon us a fresh blanket of snow. We decided to let the kids fully experience it before packing up and heading back west.

Judging by the number of tears shed during our brief excursion, the kids didn't care for it very much.
