Posing

While Zoe was busy getting ready for the fashion show, Noah was busy posing for the camera.  He loves having his picture taken.  He is still a very mellow fellow.  He spends most of his day rolling around the house.  It's amazing how far he can go just by rolling.   

Runway Zoe!

There is a great...overpriced...children's store in Old Town Eureka.  From time to time Zoe and I stop in an try to score a deal from the sale rack.  One of the last times we stopped in, the owner asked if Zoe was interested in being in a fashion show at a local museum.  Zoe was thrilled and eagerly said yes.  I guess I should back up...Zoe is my fashion queen.  She loves to go shopping, and she loves getting new clothes.  I think she is the only 3 year old  who isn't disappointed to get clothes for Christmas or birthday gifts.  She has always been this way.  She started dressing herself and picking out her own outfits before she was even 2.  I must admit she usually has pretty good taste.  Although, at times, her outfits need a little bit of "modificaiton".    She had a great time walking down the runway with the other girls and boys, and if she has it her way she'll be in more fashion shows in future.  

The View

Steve took this photo the other night from our deck while he was BBQing.  It's an example of the view we see most nights.  We love living in Kneeland!

Woodside Preschool's CEO

Zoe has started preschool this year and she LOVES it!  She had no problem leaving Daddy on the first day.  She actually was quite upset to find out that Daddy would be working in the classroom once a month.  Her exact words were:  "I'm big enough to go to school by myself!  Why do you have to go?"  We tried to explain that Daddy had to volunteer since she goes to a  Co-op preschool.  She didn't think that was a good enough reason.  So ultimately we told her Daddy wouldn't talk to her and that he was just going to help the teacher.  This made her feel better. Miss Patty, Zoe's teacher, has named her the CEO of the class.  She said that Zoe definitely knows how to take charge.  She mentioned that every class has a CEO and every class needs one...sounds like the Zoe we know and love!   

Daily Workout

Here's Noah doing his "Daily Workout".  He is so proud that he can roll over from back to front AND from front to back!

She's Got The Look

Zoe loves to dress up.  Here's a picture of a typical outfit she would choose.  She always remembers to accessorize!

Outside Lands Festival

Last weekend Zoe and Noah experienced their first concert.  We went to one day of the 3 day long Outside Lands Festival in Golden Gate Park.  Zoe had been looking forward to it for months.  We got to see Jack Johnson, The Motherhips, and Widespread Panic (to name a few). One new band we got to see was Los Amigos Invisibles (a new favorite that I recommend checking out if you're into Venezuelan Funk).  Zoe REALLY enjoyed Los Amigos...she couldn't stop dancing.  She sang her little heart out while Jack Johnson was onstage and she has asked that we add some Widespread Panic to her "cd."(She has a mix cd of some of her favorite songs/artists...Jack Johnson, The Presidents of  the United States, Red Hot Chili Peppers, The Motherhips, Cold War Kids, Vampire Weekend etc.)  As you can see from the photos they even make baby earplugs.
