Two seals playing or kissing on New Year's Day... 

Grace is working on her stilts again...this time we raised them up a notch... 

A sun worshipping sea lion... 

 

The Bay Bridge on one of the first clear days of the season.

Happy Lunar New Year!

 

Gong Hay Fat Choy! 

On Sunday, January 29, Chinese New Year, we have sun in San Francisco and take off on a walk down the embarcadero. We walk down to Pier 39 to view the Sea Lions doing their thing...

Grace visits with her favorite octopus sculpture... 

On our way to the Ferry Plaza to do a little food shopping... 

One of my absolute favorite winter holiday decorations: Panda Land Lodge! 

Our holiday mantel. 

Here she is on her first day of walking on stilts. Now she has the foot-rest raised two more levels. 

Check out the pool-playing style. Here is a photo from Christmas morning...Grace has already just about cleared the table! 

Grace wanted me to photograph her next to her sidewalk chalk panda drawing. 

On a recent playdate with friend Hannah. 

Here she is on a Saturday in January '06...still with a front tooth missing...wearing about four pendents around her neck, and about six bracelets. 

Here I am in self-portrait mode...looking into the mirror in my office...thought I'd sneek in a little non-Grace item.
