School inching closer

We got a letter from Owen's teacher over the weekend. Apparently he will be in a K-1 class. We think there will be 3 K-1 classes. For some reason they prefer combination age classes at his new school, maybe particularly in the Montessori program. We'll go over there probably this afternoon and meet the teacher and see the room (and perhaps learn who the other students will be).

Yesterday we took my mom to the newly rebuilt DeYoung Museum in San Francisco for her birthday. The museum was not very kid friendly, unfortunately, and was quite confusingly laid out. However, they had a cool exhibit called "The Quilts of Gee's Bend" with quilts made by African American women in Gee's Bend near Selma, Alabama. The quilts were pretty nifty.

The museum has a tower. You go up to the 9th floor and there is floor to ceiling glass, giving a 360 degree view of San Francisco. It was foggy yesterday so we couldn't see as much as we might have, but it was still a great view. Owen thought it was pretty cool.
