At school, all kids made cards for their families and a parent asked them what were they thankful for and wrote down what they said. Here are our kids cards.

Marta! gracies per enviar-los les postals, quina il.lusio que els va fer! les engaxines van ser un exitas. Les tenim per tota la casa 
Vam anar molt atavalats durant el dia de tots Sants, hi havia el Halloween, acabavem de tornar de Wisconsin… pero aquest any volia fer panellets, aixi que en vaig fer, pero unes setmanes mes tard. Tinc molts bons records de fer panellets amb la mare a la cuina, i volia que el Teo i el Fin en fessin tambe… Pero resulta que tinc uns fills molt netets, i no es volen embrutar les manetes, aixi que em van deixar tota sola fent els panellets. Ara, menjar-se’ls, si que ho van fer!
Apa, aqui van les fotos, i que bons que van quedar!

Thanks Susi for sending this pic, it’s hard to get the 4 of us in a picture. This was taken in Wisconsin, a couple of weeks ago.
Today at dinner we were talking about birthdays and Fin said: “Teo’s bday is March and mine is March 2nd”
Avui per sopar estavem parlant d’aniversaris i el Fin ha dit: “L’aniversari del Teo es al Març, i el meu es el 2 de Març”
Noni wrote a letter to the boys to thank them for their “help” during her bday party, and they just absolutely loved that. They kept on asking me to read it to them again and again. So… if you have some free time and want to make them happy, write them a letter (to each one of them)! They will love it!
A l’hora d’anar a dormir, sempre els llegim un conte i despres els explico un conte que m’invento. Al principi jo triava de que aniria, pero ultimament els demano que em diguin una cosa cadascun, i jo ho introdueixo en el conte. El problema es que durant tota la setmana m’han demanat que en el conte hi hagi un policia vermell i un policia blau, i jo ja no se que mes inventar-me… doneu-me idees!
At bed time we always read them a book and then I tell them a story that I make up. At the beginning I would choose the story, but lately I let them tell me one thing each that I incorporate in the story. The problem is that they have been asking for the same thing for the last week: a red police and a blue police. I can’t think of any more stories about a red and a blue police man, any ideas??!
A 5 minuts amb cotxe des de casa, tenim aquest parc fantastic, el Glen Canyon Park. Ara feia temps que no hi anavem, des d’abans de les obres. Al F i al T els va entusiasmar escalar les roques, i nomes volien explorar i pujar amunt, ben amunt! Al final (o principi) de l’excursio te una placeta: perfecta manera d’acabar.

En teoria haviem de sortir amb uns amics i els nens a veure la processo del “dia de los muertos” al barri de Mission, pero els amics no van poder venir, i els nens estaven super cansats i es van adormir a les 5.30p! L’elliott ens va trucar i es va oferir per fer de cangur. L’Owen i jo vam poder sortir a veure-ho i va ser genial. Em va recordar a les festes majors de Barcelona… com ho enyoro! Fins i tot vaig menjar uns xurros!

A few weeks ago we went to Madison, Wisconsin for Sumner’s wedding. We only had the iphone for pics and didn’t take very many… but here they are!

Well, finally I get to post the pictures from Halloween. We celebrated it at school twice, once on the weekend and then on monday, we had a small walk around the block. Guess what they dressed up as… frogs!

Tenim la sort d’anar a una escola que esta just al costat de la platja (Ocean Beach). Nomes cal travessar un carrer i ja hi ets. El Fin i el Teo sempre hi volen anar despres de l’escola. Quan vam comencar l’escola ens hi trobavem amb alguns pares i nens, pero ara que ja fa mes fred, nomes hi som nosaltres. Quin privilegi tenir un lloc tan precios tan a prop!
We are lucky to be at a school that is right next to a beach (Ocean Beach). We only need to cross one street and we are there. Fin and Teo always want to go there. When we started school we would meet with some of the school parents and children, but now that it’s colder, we are just by ourselves. What a treat to have such a wonderful space so close!

Loosechange practice
Published November 13, 2011 42-48 months , fotos , outings/sortides Leave a CommentOwen has been going to practice with Loosechange this last months, they are practicing for the SF Hip Hop festival. When practice is early enough, we take the kids, and they LOVE it! I bring a tupperware with oatmeal and milk and cinnamon, and they just enjoy the show and the food. From time to time they get to run around and do some cool footwork. Oh, the vending machine is a hit too. All those buttons to push…
The show is next weekend, and the boys and I will go see it a the theater, how exciting! Go Loosechange!
Fin and Teo have already a favorite restaurant in SF. Nopalito! “
“A vibrant neighborhood Mexican kitchen, celebrating the traditional cookery of Mexico and utilizing our philosophy of purchasing local, organic and sustainable ingredients.”
Their favorite dish: EMPANADAS. They just devour them!
Here is Fin enjoying the food…
Es increible, em sembla que fa gairebe dos anys que vam comprar els magnatiles, i es la joguina mes popular, cada dia. D’alguna manera o altra, sempre acaben jugant amb els magnatiles ( i les granotes). Tambe ho tenen a l’escola, i tots els nens i nenes hi juguen cada dia tambe. Son cars, pero una molt bona joguina. Recomanat!
Anya was our babysitter when we lived in Berkeley. They miss her so much! We saw her at Daidie’s party and they were so happy! Here a few pics of them while in Berkeley.

Noni’s 70th birthday party
Published November 6, 2011 42-48 months , family , fotos , outings/sortides 2 CommentsWe just came back from Occidental where we celebrated Daidie’s 70th bday with all her friends. It was fantastic, magical, live music, dancing, amazing food and lots of love. The next day we met at Howard’s for breakfast and then went for a walk at OAEC. So beautiful! Most of the pictures are mine, but there are a few from Jim from OAEC, but they are so beautiful I had to add them. They are a bit out of order. Happy birthday Noni!
