Oh Bruddah

Holiday weekend

Enjoying a beautiful November morning in San Francisco . . .

Belly up, belly down

New things for Benji: grabbing objects, playing with toys, scooching backwards on the play mat (not to mention scooching into a corner of his crib, getting stuck, and waking up screaming at 2 am), and best of all - laughing!

Gang's all here

Benji's best buds. From left: Kai, Nate, Morgan, PJ, Milo, Asher, Lucy & Myles. Unfortunately, Benj managed to sleep through the whole party. Just like mom.

Family stroll

First protest

We went to the Civic Center to protest California's passing of prop 8. It was a beautiful day and a wonderful vibe of unity -- people of all colors, ages and orientations coming together to stand up for the rights of all human beings to love and marry whom they choose. Being there with Benjamin, we were especially struck by all the children at the rally -- children who have been told their whole lives that their families don't count, that the love their parents have for each other and for them is somehow inferior and not deserving of the same recognition as the love of other peoples' families. We hope for the sake of these children that we see this last accepted form of state-sanctioned discrimination banished; it hurts and degrades all of us.



Here is a photo of Benji being interviewed for the local news:

Buddha Baby

These pics were taken at a recent gathering of mindful babies (and their parents) from our birthing class. Namaste.

Chief Executive

Now that the economy is tanking, it's been a pretty slow day at the office. Here's a picture of me waiting for my bailout and golden parachute.

All Smiles!

Finally captured on film!
