soccer!

gg hit the soccer field yesterday. her team the cheetahs faced off against the alley cats in golden gate park. a beautiful day. a wonderful game. gg played an awesome defensive game and did some summertime snowboarding too with her pal cristophe.

A Heart is a Valentine

A heart is a red shape.
A heart is a shape for love.
A heart is hands.
A heart is a heart.

A heart; you draw hearts.
A heart is a kind of shape with a V and bumps on the top.
A heart is a cookie for fun.
A heart is sweet, a sweetheart.

--Gigi's Pre-K class. February 2009.

a skating party

gigi turned 5 this week in style -- canadian style that is. it was a really fun party, low on injuries and high on cake, lemonade & skating. thanks to everyone who came out, especially nicky, the one adult there without a kid (yet).

is that doug texting *and* skating? what a star!

islay and marcel, off ice for this one.
