Douglas is funny

Yesterday evening after his bath he saw Violet licking herself and said "Violet's taking a bath too!" Then he watched for a minute and said, "But she doesn't like having toys in the bath like I do." He's going to the zoo this morning with his preschool.

Owen has two birthday parties this weekend, after something of a dearth. His party will be two weeks from Sunday in Alameda. Hopefully someone will be able to come! We're planning to include a sandcastle making contest.

Dan played softball for the "Birkenstock Souls" last night - a local men's team that has been around for many years. He's not a regular, but once in a while when they are short of players he gets a call. The kids and I went for just a little while (the game began at 8:15). They were extremely excited about it and couldn't stop fidgeting and jumping up and down.
