Lucy got a reply to her letter from Father Christmas…
She was particularly enchanted by the drawings of cat and dog…
They look just like the ones in her book!
Her first question upon seeing the letter was a matter-of-fact ‘what did he say about the train set’….I guess she’ll just have to wait and see.
Auntie Laura took us to a park a few weeks back which overlooks the city of San Francisco. It was an interesting, sometimes harrowing ride up to the park, which is level with some big tower at the top of a hill (auntie can tell us which).
The beautiful park is open to dogs, so Luna came along, and met up with other dogs big and small.
It’s wooded in places, hilly and meadowy in others, and it felt like we were in the middle of a forest, rather than a city. (It also reminded me of Hitchcock’s Vertigo.)
Here are some of the breathtaking views:
That green strip is Golden Gate Park.
Toward the Sunset, you can see the beach:

We hope to visit again soon.
Oregon Visit from Mike C on Vimeo.
We spent Sept 16 – 21 in Oregon. Here’s a (16 minute HD) video of our time there, including a get-together with my brother and his family.
The majority of the video was taken around Corvallis. We didn’t really get any Portland footage this time, so we’ll have to address that the next time we go back.
For more info, check out Jill’s earlier post about our trip.

something cute we found today…

Easter Egg Hunt (2009) from Mike C on Vimeo.
Easter, again?! Wow, it’s a cliche, but time really does aviate at a high speed. We all trekked over to Gma Vita’s for Easter last Sunday. It was great seeing the family (though the absence of lumpia made everything feel a bit off this year).
Anyway, here’s a bit of video of the egg hunt. Also, for those interested, here’s a link to last year’s Easter post and video.
