5/07 - Kanga finds a pouch pal for Roo

Kanga and Roo saw this little guy peeking out of a pouch on BART and thought they might be able to snuggle him up. They tried, but then it was my stop, and we had to go.

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.

8/17 - Dora meets a family of giants!

Dora and her twin brother and sister found some giants on our way into work!  (They’re really just some statues.  The work is called “Agriculture” and is by Ralph Stackpole.)

Dora says, "Mira! Una ensalada muy grande!" This ensalada has lechuga (lettuce), maiz (corn), tomates (tomatoes), queso (blue cheese), and higos (figs).  Delicioso!

In other exciting news, the replacement Roo has arrived!  (History lesson:  Roo the First went missing.  Roo the Second was accidentally tossed over the fence and was Lost Forever in the brambles and ivy.)  This is Roo the Third.  May he stay around for a long time.  (And if not, at least we have a photo this time.)

5/05 - Piglet and Roo and the Very Big Pen

Mama rushed to get the twins out of the house in time for my 10am meeting, which was, of course, cancelled at 10:04.  Nonetheless, I still had 2 small but able helpers.  Don't they look eager?  Take a note, boys!

4/29 - Buster and Roo are on board

Buster and Roo took a ride around the study while Mama and I wheezed and the twins ran circles around us.

1/19 - Conference call from home on The Very Blustery Day

I figured out how to get brand-new birthday toys from Grandmother to be my work helpers!  Work from home while the kids are at pre-school!  These were even sanctioned helpers, as I promised to take good care of them.

Piglet and Tigger were selected as "car friends" for the ride to school, so Pooh and Roo stayed with me.  Here they are, perky as ever, even during a teleconference.

Pooh and Roo were quite pleased.  It was a Very Good Meeting, indeed.


And a Very Happy Birthday to my wonderful 4-year old twins!
