It's Memorial Day...

Grandmother Turner gave us a box of dad's clothes from when he was a baby. He had the perfect Memorial Day jacket!

...and hanging out in the garden.

Gavin's munching on Uncle Brian's new shirt on Memorial Day.

Faces of a Happy Baby

I'm intently listening to our conversation

just being cute

I got a new hat! 

You're not really going to take me out looking like this, are you?? 

Gavin & mom after a walk. Guess who got exercise & who got to nap. 

Morning Playtime

The giraffe is sneaking up on him...

There's nothing better than when he looks into your eyes and cracks a great big smile! 

Sailing on a BIG boat!

On Saturday night, we went out on a 47' sailboat to San Francisco's waterfront for our local radio station's (KFOG) annual fireworks show. Gavin went prepared for anything and got his own special seat on deck for the show! (He actually ended up sleeping on dad's chest thru the entire show)

Here's dad & Gavin below decks, scoping out the situation.

Uncle Brian graduates from the Goldman School of Public Policy

Saturday turned out to be an absolutely gorgeous day, so we loaded up the car and went to watch Brian receive his Masters in Public Policy from UC Berkeley (the top school of Public Policy in the United States, we're proud to say). There were a bunch of news crews present, and we initially thought "Wow, it's great to see such local interest in the graduates", but we then learned that the graduates were going to have to take back seat (in the eyes of the news, anyway) to Warren Beaty, who was the commencement speaker. It was a helluva speach (read about it at: http://sfgate.com/cgi-bin/article.cgi?file=/c/a/2005/05/22/MNGT0CT1I51.DTL), and the news crews were tripping over each other to be the first to report that Warren Beaty may, or may not, someday run for governor.


Gavin (not) watching the graduation

Now, because this site is dedicated to Gavin, we'll just say that Gavin has already had his brush with fame when, while walking around at the post graduation reception, Warren's wife Annette Benning saw Gavin and said "What an adorable baby...". Yep, Gavin's got recoginition already.

Brian, forgive me for posting the picture, but you had your brush with fame too and it must be posted:

Point Richmond Stroll

This afternoon was the 15th annual Pt. Richmond Stroll, and the entire family (including JJ) took a walk downtown.

Sean won the Grand Prize from the PRAM raffle: a skillsaw!

Liz & sophia were there.

Here's mom and little Gavin dancing to the Dave Mathews Blues Band.

Everybody had a great time, including little Sophia who insisted on doing "The Teapot" dance move.

Partying in Petaluma!

Gavin & dad joined mom to celebrate the grand openning of the Boulevard Cinemas in Petaluma - the big project she was working on for the past year (other than Gavin, of course)!

Now this is how you mingle and drink at a cocktail party 

A tired little boy getting ready for a bath. 

He still doesn't sleep much, but when he does...

When was the last time you were able to nap that soundly...

Sunday was our 7th (wow!) wedding anniversary!

Yep, and we went sailing. Look closely at the front of Joyce's jacket; and it may be tough to tell in this picture, but we're going pretty fast there.

This is how we all eat dinner now...

Joyce has become very good at eating with just one hand (and Gavin too...)

But sooner or later, sleepiness overcomes and it becomes all about the transfer from the dinner table to bed...

Afternoon nap time on a warm, spring day. 

I'm diggin' my new toy!
