Sophia's First Cal Trip

Sophia's first trip to the Bay Area was marked by several memorable moments with Alexander, mommy, daddy, Grandma & Grandpa - first there was Zazie on Cole Street, a wonderful breakfast recommendation from Shokooh, where we enjoyed the gingerbread pancake with lemon curd and Bosc pear

Go Bears! AAA's 1st Game

This morning Alexander woke up saying he was "excited" because we were going to the football game at Berkeley! We could tell he was serious by the way he clutched onto his Oski bear as he walked up to the stadium and kept letting us know he was "excited!" We stopped by the Cal-sponsored tailgate at Maxwell Field and got to stand right in front of the Cal Band as they performed a couple of songs on their way up to the new stadium. (It was pretty wonderful to share this with Alexander for mommy and daddy and, as AAA noted, "really really loud.") Then we headed into Memorial and watched the teams warm-up. We watched the game and halftime show (which AAA helped conduct from the stands) and then headed out so AAA could nap and we could meet up with Aunt JeeHee and Uncle Matt.

We had a wonderful time at AAA's 1st Cal football game. S. Utah v. Cal 31-50 GO BEARS!

Great friends & great (Cal) football

Hung out with Mommy and Daddy's college friends and respective families (Mommy's sorority sisters) this past football Saturday! Liz and Todd have Jared (not pictured), Natalie (not pictured), Gabrielle & Drew. Tasha and Isti have Maté & Maya! They had a wonderful time playing at the park while we watched and cheered on Jared's soccer game and in the incredible playroom at the house. To complete the wonderful day, Cal beat Colorado! GO BEARS!!
