Linguistics party

Mom's new job in the linguistics department at Cal means we get invited to parties where many languages are spoken. But in this case, the main event for the kids was a hammock.

Dad and Daisy speak only one language. The language of goofy poses.

Aaaand that's more like it. Class.

Smooth around the keystone

Joe Cool, blowing a bubble mid-play. As the youngest player on the team, Buster spent most of his time playing the outfield this season, but in a happy coincidence, he got to play the whole game at second base the day Grandma and Grandpa were in town to watch him -- and he played a terrific game. He made several smart, savvy plays in the field and got several hits at-bat.

Ever since he took his first steps in front of a crowd at his first birthday party, the kid's had a nose for the big moment.
