Today we're catching up a bit, not necessarily in chronological order. The big news here is that Nora now goes to school with Malcolm! Here she is looking a bit forlorn waiting for her classroom doors to open on the first day of school.

We had a very nice visit with Pop and Irene, where we learned of their engagement! We celebrated with a trip to Yoshi's for sushi and the Bad Plus (highly recommended), and the next day Nora and Deirdre took them to Chabot Science Center.

Mandy, Michael, Emma and Lawrence visited us for a long weekend and the boys really hit it off. Malcolm wants us to move to New York! We had a great time hanging out and catching up, and we went to the spectacular King Tut exhibit at the de Young Museum.
