More hair, cabin fun, and baseball


It has been a fun week. Last weekend was another beautiful 48-hours at the cabin. The highlight had to be the "camp-out" at the firepit. I've never seen so many marshmallows consumed in one sitting (and that was just Bruno)! Nothing screams good ole fashion fun like fire + sharp metal skewers + sticky, gooey, molten marshmallows. They did us proud.


I sure hope this is enough marshmallow!

No Bruno, you hold the extremely sharp implement with the molten sugar
blobs on it THIS way... here let me show you...


Once back in the Bay area, we've made an attempt to maximize the after work/school hours with the kids by incorporating trips to the pharmacy with a trip to the ice cream store, and extra time at the park before dinner. In addition, my employer was kind enough to offer my entire team seats in a luxury box at the Oakland As game last Wednesday. That was fun - we brought our friend Jessica and all three kids had a blast. Much debauchery in the form of popcorn, hot dogs, and soda was had but the topper was the blue cotton candy (we left just moments after that escapade). We missed the very exciting 7 - 9th innings (As pulled out a victory) but everyone really had a great time.
Note: Bruno's Giants apparel... and don't worry Uncle Timmy, his intentions are pure!

Although the As game was fun, we Gheno's are Giant's fans to the core and are REALLY excited to be going to the Giants vs. Colorado game next Wednesday - courtesy of Mr. Kevin Frandsen. The Walker's are joining us and we plan to make quite an evening of it! No cabin for the kids and me this weekend, we will be whooping it up at Jes's 4th B-day.

Clinic is planned for next Tuesday - I'm hoping for great blood chemistry and enough weight gain to chuck the NG... I'll keep you posted.

For the past week or so, every night when I check in on Gianni,
I find her sleeping in this Minnie Mouse hat - cute.


Many thanks to all of you who keep checking in on and sending your good thoughts to our Gianni.
