Date night

We rode the bike down to the river for pre-

dinner monkeying.

I'm king of the world!

Then dinner at Vinnie Van Goh Gohs

First soccer practice, first beach trip of 2010, etc.

Getting the Soccer Mojo flowing...

GOAL!!!!!

Proud angel.

After soccer was a visit to the teddy bear

clinic at the hospital. Oliver's baby Noah received

stellar care for all his injuries.

We finished the day with a rousing jam session.

Next morning, off to the beach. Oliver

showcased many skills--kite flying...

...then he proceeded to perform an impromptu

broadway style show with original lyrics,

dancing and acrobatics!

It really was fantastic. He was in his own

little musical and performed beautifully!

Then after a delightful nap it was time for some quiet

reading and a pedicure -- purple polish for o's toes.

Monkeying Around

So we decided to make a swing.

O worked hard testing out the

tensile strength of the rope

while I prepared the seat.

Clearly, it was hard work.

Next morning, Oliver and Woody prepared

to complete the job.

They do fantastic work.

Aaahhh, the satisfaction of the fruits

of they're labor.

Loving this weather.

Practicing for his upcoming soccer debut.

I'm pretty sure none of the other 3-5

year olds on his team will have such grace.

Let the monkeying begin!

Sheer self content

He comes by those climbing skills naturally.
