Friday, November 28th

After the visiting with the Davis Family we drove out to Orinda for some yummy Brunch at the Bonds beautiful new house. Jenny & Jeff planned a great day at Tilden Regional Park. Keaton had fun at all the stops in the park. He loved the Steam Train, seeing all the farm animals, & running around the visitor center. He especially loved that all of his family joined in on the fun & centered the day around him! Later that night we went back to Los Altos and had yummy Mac & Cheese and leftover Thanksgiving food--yum!!! It seams like we have been eating all weekend long! Thank you J & J we can't wait to visit again when little Bond is born!..Thank you also Russ & Betsy for letting us borrow your car, for all the great food & for all the extra work accommodating little Keaton!

Black Friday

The day after Thanksgiving we drove out to see Pat, Julie, Ryder & Lauren in Pleasanton for Breakfast at 8:30am. It was super cute to see the little ones meet for the first time! Keaton loved following Ryder wherever he went, seeing & sharing his toys, & stealing Laurens chair. Ryder maybe next time Keaton he will be up for wrestling! Thank you Julie & Pat for the yummy Breakfast (have to get the receipt) and the great company--as always! Miss you --and wish that you lived closer--hope to meet up soon!

Keaton vs. Lime

Keaton and I went to the mall with GG the other day to find some warm clothes for Thanksgiving. First, we stopped at the food court for lunch. Keaton had his first Cheese on a stick but was more interested in mommies lime!!(ENJOY THE VIDEO) He also enjoyed the indoor play area with all the kids, the Häagen-Dazs frozen yogurt with bananas, all the doggies at the pet store, the water fountain & the big moving bear next to Santa...but was not interested in Santa! Thank you GG for a fun day at the mall...Keaton loves all his new clothes & especially loves his GG!

Bath Time

Keaton is 14 months old!!! He is now trying to run, putting syllables together to form words, jumping, climbing on everything, making the moo sound for a cow, blowing his nose, making a mess with dirt, sand, and his food, brushing his teeth, remembering where he left something, stacking blocks, smelling flowers, and always, always, always on the go! --we love you Keats!!!

USC Game- Nov. 1

We went to the USC Homecoming game on Saturday with Papa G and Uncle Rob. Keaton had a great time at his first football game. He loved dancing to the music, chomping on apples, watching all the action and giving high fives and clapping for all the touchdowns! Fight on!!!

Last week of October!

We had a great last week in October with Keaton! Lots of days at the park and a fun night of Trick-or-treating. Keaton loved being a Dinosaur for Halloween (thank you Julie for the costume!) We made it to 5 houses with Keaton's new friend Ben (He also was a Dino)! Then we went over to Papa G's to celebrate some more. Keaton loved all the bright lights and music coming from all the houses--and mom and dad enjoyed the candy!
