The many expressions of Simon.
Daddy Ron using a Baby Bjorn with Iris for the first time. She seemed a little perplexed that she was not being held and sort of “floating”.
Today we had orientation at Simon’s school so we could see his classroom and meet his teacher. Simon didn’t sleep well last night so was napping in the car on the way there and when we woke him up, he was really cranky. He fussed the entire time and screamed himself a bit hoarse.

Maybe sleeping beauty here needs some of my mint mojito coffee!

Perfect lunch with our family. Delicious pizza, yummy coffee, and beautiful day at the park.

So driving to the Peninsula wasn’t too bad considering the Bay Bridge closure. The San Mateo Bridge wasn’t a parking lot but moving pretty well. Everyone must be avoiding going out or at least not traveling far. But there are still three days left if this long weekend and the closure so we will see how it goes v
