Visitors

Earl came from India to meet his grandbabies. I told Annie and Ivan that their other grandpa was old and worn out so they needed a new one. Ha ha! Grandpa Earl thought that was funny. Grandpa Max didn't.

Grandpa Earl spent the last week helping Ivan walk (he's desperately trying to skip crawling and go straight to two feet) and preventing Annie the crawling tornado from destroying our house. He and Aunt Sara Z.--who is visiting from Oakland--also did a little babysitting while Steve and I had a date. That was pretty rad.

Here are Earl, Sara and Ivan at the farmer's market on Friday.



It was a little strange to see piles of beautiful peaches, tomatoes, and asparagus in the middle of November--particularly when it was sunny and 85 degrees outside. Back in DC, our farmer's market would be down to potatoes and maybe some apples by now. So we stocked up on produce and also picked up some homemade tamales for supper.
