Cousin Jacob comes to visit!

The Rudds traveled all the way from Wyoming for a California vacation.... Good thing Jacob brought some fleece layers -- it was not a warm weekend in the outer Richmond.

Bobby about to go down a really long slide at the playground near our new apartment. (And no, these aren't capri pants on Bobby -- just some size 4T shorts that are either a little big or not long enough, depending on the weather. On this particular day, they weren't quite long enough.)

Jacob enjoying a bagel and a snuggle with Mom to stay warm.

A little playing before bedtime -- and no harm done!

Mother's Day Weekend 2009.

We had a great weekend now that we're semi-settled into the new place!

Bobby loves all the space to run around.

Grandma gave Bobby a family of giraffes as a gift this weekend. Here he is showing off the "tall Dada giraffe." He loves feeding them leaves, stampeding them along the floor, hosting little conversations between the family members, etc. It's pretty hilarious!

Grandma and Jim came to visit for Mother's Day! Here Bobby and Grandma are having a great time with Bobby's new shovel, trowel, and bucket (more new treasured toys from Grandma!).

UP HIGH! on Jim's shoulders.
