We’re gonna miss this room, but we’re psyched to get back to the boy and the cat!

Getting beef at N9NE!

Father-in-law’s b-day. Zachary’s pizza & applesauce cake. Yum!

Watching the Giants in the playoffs with the in-laws.

Grilling on the deck. Hosting a Giants playoff viewing. Nice little Thursday.

Multi-generational, multi-species Pats viewing.

One of my favorite things about living in Palo Alto is having quick access to my buddies’ awesome Stanford football tailgates. Here’s a pan I shot yesterday of Oliver’s first appearance.

It’s a crowded couch in the Bain house.

Heading up to Bodega Bay for a one night getaway. We’re singing “Me & Mrs. Jones” at the top of our lungs, naturally.

We’re all smiles as the theatre clears out. Quite a night.

Apple’s annual karaoke competition: Apple Idol
