It had been a while...

since we were at the Discovery Museum, so we decided to go last week. We invited our friends Shanda & Aaron (and Aaron's grandma) to join us on Tuesday. Eric & Aaron had a blast exploring the museum and spent a good amount of time in the Alice & Wonderland exhibit. Aaron left early for his nap, but Eric continued to play and really enjoyed the water exhibit where he discovered the big kids' area. It has pipes that send plastic balls launching into the air and then into the water, which he got a kick out of.

Janet Meets Talia

Janet came to visit for a few days at the end of July. We mainly filled our days with naps, feedings and diaper changes, but we did manage to spend one morning at Hakone Gardens and another having lunch and walking around Los Gatos after music class. As you can see here, Janet joined Eric & Talia at their Music Together class on Friday morning. We loved having Janet visit, though we're sure she was happy she got to go home to a quiet house!

Blair & Molly Meet Talia

Blair & Molly came to stay with us for a few days. They got to meet Talia and hang out with us. Eric loved playing with Molly -- they blew bubbles, played at the park, went swimming, sang songs, made ice cream and read books together. It was *so* nice to see them, and we were grateful for Blair's extra hands!

Tio Adam & Tia Carla Meet Talia

Adam & Clara came to visit in mid-July. We loved having them visit and wish they could have stayed longer.
