What a busy time we have had the last couple of weeks! We returned from a wonderful week in California visiting Erica's parents and before we knew it, Chris was off to the Democratic Convention in Denver. Erica and Miriam started the mommy share this week...more on both of those later.
For now, we have to update you on the California trip. Some highlights:
* Seeing the Costas (Gregg, Jen, Elijah and Joshua) at the Padres game and the mud fight at the beach later that day.
* Lots and lots of grandparent time.
* Seeing Cousin Chase, Aunt Megan and Uncle Ben and traveling to the zoo with them.
* Spending the day with Erica's friend Ryan and her three kids.
* Alone time!! Thanks to some fabulous babysitting by the grandparents, Mommy and Daddy got to go out to dinner, take some walks, and even go camping for a night. Thank you, Seagers!
Miri also attended her first Padres game and watched Jake Peavy lead the Padres to a victory. Trevor Hoffman (one of the most underrated players ever!) came in to save the game in the 9th inning. For those of you who don't know, "Trevor Time" is a San Diego tradition. AC/DC's "Hells Bells" plays as Trevor makes his way from the bullpen to the mound to warm up. Before Trevor Time, Miri was happily sitting on Daddy's lap, eating her yummy veggies. Watch what happened next....
It wasn't Miri's favorite moment ever, but we are certain that she will grow up to be a big Pads fan (of course, Daddy may have something to say about that!).

Great video! We had fun visiting with you as well. Miss you already...
Erica, Miri responds to baseball games like I do-- remember the time we took the Bay Area Mitzvah Corps kids to the ball game?
I also love watching the incredible shrinking baby when you look at the Miri and pillow pictures backwards.
In other news we miss you and are thrilled to have the chance to watch Miri grow via the internet. Please let us know if you are ever in NYC- we'd love to see you all in person.
always
