11/10 - Diego Checker to the rescue! Al rescate, amigos!

Diego Checker runs rings around the competition.  Or is he in the center of a bulls-eye?  Some days, you really can’t tell.

One of my files got away from me, but Diego Checker and his trusty computer dog helped me find it. Gracias, amigos!  Good work.

Pirate bonus:  My roller derby pirate tutu is here from Tutoodles!  It is beyond ARRRRsome!  Photos to come!

11/09 - In which Diego Checker and Mommy break the BART

As soon as we stepped on to the train this morning, it went out of service! We rode back a stop (the new West Dublin station is quite nice), only to JUST miss the SF train. Welcome back, me!

Fire drill!!  Diego Checker walked quickly and quietly to the closest exit. (Someone joked that bystanders might mistake us for protesters, as we stood in front of the Federal Reserve building.)

Evening commute BART bonus:  The train before mine overshot its landing, so the doors weren't lined up with the designated boarding spots on the platform.  I guess they can't back it up, so they announced that the next train was in 8 minutes, and that train took off without letting anyone board.  How lame is that?  (And how did I narrowly avoid it?)

9/17 - Surprise! A birthday tea party!

Here they are, all of your best friends, ready to throw you a surprise tea party.  How fun is that?  Watch out for Warthog, though.  His manners aren't so good.

Lil' Gal took this picture of the puzzle she did by herself (within a train track).

Lil' Guy took this picture of his tiny friends.

I took this picture of the goblin (gnome) that Lil' Guy is happy to see every day on his walk to school.

5/15 - Play Doh hats for manly men

They're a little late for the Easter bonnet contest, but still.  Aren't they lovely?

I'm looking forward to the day that all of our Play Doh doesn't end up being this "color."

Tip!  If your Play Doh gets dried out, add a little bit of water to it.  Presto!  Good as new.

7/21 - Diego and the giant centipede

Diego rescued a giant centipede at my desk.  (It was suffering from "too many meetingitis.")  Go, Diego, Go!

Diego was ready for adventure when he got to Pesto Lake. He did not find any animals to rescue -- just some gnocchi to eat.  NOM!

1/13 - Go, Diego. Go!

I got to bring Diego in today with the condition that That Silly Doug not put him on the blue exercise ball.  So we didn't.  (Only cuz we ran out of time with all those meetings!)  Here, we check The Map.

We grabbed lunch with the Ashleys and  That Silly Doug.
