Welcome to the Seqouia's

After a few adventures along the way, we finally made it to Eureka, CA, the gateway to the Redwoods. These are a few pictures of our neighborhood park.

It's very strange to live in the midst of trees like this and see people bartering fresh eggs for fresh mussels and oysters at our farmers market.
Yesterday Dan went fishing off the pier with the local bait of choice, jumbo shrimp. I don't mind drowning worms, but shrimp?
Hadassah and Bobby think that this would be a good place for Papa to play with them. I agree.

Rocky!!

Rocky has not stopped moving since he was created. Here are a few photos of his normal day.
First, he needs to get his morning Java boost....

Next, he needs to unload all the silverware from the dishwasher. (look closely and you will see his preferred method of cleaning, he gets that from the military-leaning side of the family. The legs are from a different side...)
Then he likes to get his daily quota of sand intake. (Yes, Vitamin D is the latest fad substance we all need to thrive, but he knows Grandpa's advice to eat your roughage is as sound as always, especially when you wear Pampers)

Look who's arrived!



Baruch finally made his appearance into this world on June 16th. He was 7lbs 12oz 19 inches long with lots of black hair. So much in fact that he was sent home from the hospital with a comb.



Since his arrival, I am back in the life of the hour and a half "time bomb". Started supper? Oops, baby needs to eat...sorry kids hope you like slightly burnt curry...
Hadassah and Isaac have taken it upon themselves to make "Rocky" live up to his nickname and make him the toughest kid in the neighborhood. Yesterday, I found him halfway across the dining room licking the wood floor after I distinctly remember putting him "safely" on a blanket in the living room. Now, I know I have exceptional children, but I am pretty sure my 3 week old can't crawl yet. Hadassah cheerfully informed me that Rocky wanted to go for a ride so they "helped" him into the dining room. (translation: he was dragged there).


I am sorry to all the followers of this blog who are looking for my writer husband's input. I know, I know, he's much more articulate and funny than I am but I promised all our friends in Albuquerque that I would blog when the baby was born since that is a much too boring of a subject for him to blog about. But stay posted, he may someday soon deign to fill your day with delight once again.

I'll give you a hint -its not a road runner or cactus

You have to zoom in really tight on these two photos. I have never seen anything like this in the wild before.



Best Parents Ever





Cleaning the Digital Camera

At the request of several readers the next two blogs will consist primarily of "more pictures of the kids." Many of these photos were taken nearly a year ago, but since our children don't grow we run no risk of our pictures ever being outdated. Since none of the pictures are marked I will give you my best guess as to what has been photographed.

I took this picture of Priscilla and the kids just before leaving for Albuquerque. Even though she was just a few months pregnant you can already see a little bit of a "baby bump" beginning to show.









Isn't it ironic that I go to work and school in order to get the experience and education to resolve the psychological confusion that my children undergo when I am at work and school?

The three most majestic locales in America: Niagara Falls, the Grand Canyon and the south-side Jersey Shore.
