There's Treasure Everywhere
It's hard to believe, but we are in the fifth week of school. Here's what we've been up to since school started.
Well, this was actually before school started. Andy had another fun work trip with Google (Don't let his Yahoo sweatshirt fool you!). They went on a whale watching trip.
The day before school started, I cut Ellie's hair for the first time! I had cut off a couple of little straight pieces before, but this was the first time I cut it all across the bottom. I'm kicking myself for not getting a "before" picture, but I probably took four inches off. At first she just wanted me to barely trim it, but then she liked how it turned out. I can't believe she went 5 1/2 years without a haircut!
This is the first season we have all three kids in soccer! Ellie is very excited to finally be on a soccer team!
Meanwhile we happened to have a big heat wave come through. It was so hot that we had a "high heat advisory" so they cancelled all the soccer practices for the week. We ended up spending every evening after school at the pool. We even had dinner down there. It was glorious!

They didn't see any whales, but they saw a bunch of dolphins, so that counts as a win!

This year we have the Tsunamis, the Night Terrors and the Golden Nuggets.
And what a cute Nugget she is!
She's not always sure what to do, but she plays soccer very enthusiastically!
And she's such a studious kindergartener! 😉
I found her like this during nap time one day. She still goes down for a nap/quiet time every day, but it's very rare that she ever sleeps. It seems like she's officially grown out of naps (although nap time will continue for the rest of kindergarten).
One week at the end of August, Andy was gone for a few days for work. This was his view out of the San Francisco Google Cafe at lunch!
A couple of weeks ago, Andy's parents took Andy and Joey to the San Diego State/U.C. Davis game. Andy's parents both went to U.C. Davis.
We had dinner with my teacher friend that visits Carlsbad every year. This time we tried a new restaurant that my parents recommended. It was different and fun. The kids especially enjoyed the free cotton candy for dessert!
This past weekend, Ellie finally had her turn for a one-on-one date with Andy.
She picked Chili's!
This cake was a highlight, of course! She said she tried to keep her face clean by taking "dainty bites." (Thanks, Fancy Nancy!)
