With Mommy in New York for the week, I knew I had to do something to show my respect…

Mommy is starting to get fancy with the camera. Monet may have had his Haystacks … we have Yogurt.

As some of you might already know, we live across the street from a high school. Last year they installed an amazing new football field with FieldTurf – its basically a grass carpet. It literally bounces when you walk on it. I remember playing soccer games in high school on fields where there wasn’t a blade of grass in sight. This is basically the opposite.
Maile and I decided to go check it out after dinner tonight. I’ve been realizing that living in the city means Maile spends a lot of time on cement. This was a nice change of pace and it was great for her to practice walking (and even some “running”?) on…

Maile Girl here. If you didn’t know already, Mommy is in New York again this week. I just wanted to report in and make sure everyone was aware that Daddy is putting me to work. I mean, I’m all for helping out around the house… but this is ridiculous.
Daddy when I said I'd help bring in the groceries, I was kind of thinking I'd carry the bread or an apple or something. This might take me awhile.

(Dad note: My favorite part of this video is when she switches back to the accordion-type thing. She might live out my rock star dreams yet…)
(Dad note #2: How Christine isn’t completely goofing while taping this is beyond me. She’s the Wes Welker of Hapa Haole, just consistently delivering at a high quality…)

Maile’s walking is improving every day – she’s upgraded from monkey-style to movie monster zombie…

Well, heeeelloooo ladies. Welcome to my crib! Make yourself at home...
On Monday, we headed down to Palo Alto for a Labor Day BBQ at Wills’ house. Hannah, Allison, Sophie and Oliver (along with their parents) joined us as well. It was a pretty crazy scene with babies walking and crawling all over the place (or being carried in the case of little Oliver).
The BBQ was fun, but the real excitement came when we tried to take a group picture. Here’s the final result:

Not too bad. Here’s the behind-the-scenes of how it all came together…

Tonight is the start of Rosh Hashanah, the Jewish New Year. To celebrate, Mommy picked up some apples on the way home from work and we had an impromptu meal of apples and honey with Maile Girl.
Teaching Maile how to dip the apples in the honey.
Yummy, yummy, yummy! Maile liked the honey ... a lot! ... but she had trouble keeping everything in her mouth. Mommy and daddy are still finding honey on their arms and clothes...
(Dad note: As the video below shows, I stumbled a bit on my explanation of why we eat apples and honey on Rosh Hashanah. Post video, we put a call into Auntie Elyssa and she confirmed that daddy’s explanation of a “sweet new year” was indeed correct. Mental note to call Auntie Elyssa BEFORE introducing any new Jewish traditions to Maile Girl in the future…)

La Shana Tova to all our Jewish family and friends!

Mommy teaching Maile about Bocce. Or is it Maile teaching Mommy?
On Sunday our neighbors hosted a day long bocce tournament at the local bocce courts. (Yes, there are local bocce courts right down the street from our apartment. Who knew?) Apparently this is a tradition that the neighbors have been doing for years – they hold tournaments on the Sunday of Memorial Day and Labor Day to bookend the summer. In addition to some serious bocce, there was a ton of great Italian-inspired food.
Maile Girl was fascinated by the rolling balls. She stared at the game for so long that I’m pretty sure she has it figured out. Do they offer scholarships for bocce?
