Today is Malcolm's first day at Joaquin Miller Elementary, and he was understandably both very excited and a bit antsy about being at a new school. His teacher seems great, and he is looking forward to making new friends in the neighborhood, and we expect he will settle in nicely. You can check out more pictures from the morning at our photo set.

We just had a nice summer week, with Malcolm done with preschool at Beacon Day School, and home for a week before starting kindergarten at our local public school. Guy took the week off and we enjoyed hanging out at home and taking day trips to Six Flags Discovery Kingdom, where we saw walruses, penguins, and other creatures (and Thomas the Tank Engine!), Heart's Desire beach at Tomales Bay, and the Oakland Zoo, among other places.
