I read somewhere recently a quote from some random saying that living with a toddler is like living with a running blender with no lid. Pretty apt. I'd only add that a tiny drunk person regularly adds food to the lidless blender and occasionally something you really like, such as an iPhone.
Here's Oskar eating snacks that he'd tipped into Jasmine's bed :D
Oskar thought this slide was the bomb!
Well life goes on here... sadness or not. Finlay continues to grow and eat like a machine and grow some more... tummy time yesterday resulted in some true “what? me? attitude!” shots. Here's some of the best ones.
Our dear little friend Lucy went to sleep on Weds and just never woke up, suddenly and unexpectedly. We are heartbroken and her parents Brent and Jen are devastated. Her light shone too briefly, but we are all glad we were able to know her.
Here's Lucy at Oskar's second birthday party. RIP Lucy.

It was VERY busy
There's a sign that says "ExplOratorium" to the left of this photo. Mommy liked the pink and orange woman more, though.
We had meatball subs from Prather's American Eatery on the way home. They have vibrating "food ready" boxes!
And we saw a straight-up pirate ship under the Bay Bridge on the way home too, right alongside a modern cruiser
Today was a long-weekend Monday, President's Day. So we did what every other family did today and head to a destination – using Grandma's wonderful Xmas present of Member passes we went to the new Exploratorium!
We took a tram, which is very exciting for boys
Being lucky enough to be Members we skipped the long lines and quickly saw a cool gargbage sweep clock installation by a Dutch artist
The spring you could see in 3D right in front of you, but not touch – because it wasn't there – very interesting
Testing Daddy's hearing
Futzing around with the harp piano under a strobe light
(to be continued...)
It finally started raining in San Francisco, after breaking all records in 2013 (driest winter, driest year, warmest winter – you name it – where's your global warming now tree huggers? California, that's where).
So we went outside today and jumped in puddles. We found one puddle that's basically a small lake!
Tastes good Daddy! ... Stop that Oskar!!! (ﾉﾟ0ﾟ)ﾉ~
Oskar really enjoys having the guitar he got for Christmas... (hit the link for the video!)
We went to a friend's birthday party recently, and it started in a nearby hilltop playground with a warm orange sunset and amazing views (sorry, forgot to photo that part) streaming in through the trees. Oskar re-discovered his early love of the swing...
Oskar was serenading Finlay... sadly, I missed the perfect moment but here they are, and you can see Finlay's delight :)))
