Sydney's Birthday Wish

I want to save that recording forever! Eva, bless her heart, was a mesmerizing singer and even got my name just right. Truly sweet, the two of you together. Plus, you beat Kara, whose message followed immediately after yours with her own wonderful rendition of the birthday song and words that she was racing you to the phone. You guys crack me up.

Kisses to both singers, and tell Eva I CHERISH her song.

Love,

Sydney

Eva and Mommy Day

Thursdays is Eva and Mommy day. For the first few weeks we met with Beth and Somerset but we decided it was time for the two of us to explore a little of San Francisco - today, The Ferry Building and Downtown. Whenever Eva asks where a friends other parent is, I respond, "at work." Eva immediately says, "at the laudromat?" I've had to broaden Eva's world to include the fact that some people work in offices in the illusive "downtown." So we decided to go and see for ourselves what this is really all about.
