Back in June (sorry, Dad’s been slacking), Nana and Papa and their friends Sharon and Mark came to visit from Massachusetts, by way of Arizona. They were able to watch Avery in her Gymboree class, visit the new house, and have some lunch in San Francisco. The visit flew by, but we’ll be visiting them […]

A couple weeks ago, Kelsey – Avery’s original best buddy and her first nanny – came to San Francisco for a visit. We were able to meet her and her boyfriend Joe in the City for a nice lunch so the two old friends could catch up. After lunch, we headed over to the aquarium […]
