Last night a very large limb of the very large pine tree in front of our townhouse broke and came crashing down on us. Luckily, we didn't sustain any damage but the unit next to us wasn't so lucky. The funny thing about it is that at the first cracking sound Hava yelled "tree!" and ran for the other side of the house with Simon in her arms. Matthew and the other neighbors thought the sound was firecrackers. Hava knew it was a tree falling because this is her second tree-almost-falling-on-house-where-she-was-living experience. Alas, the trees keep missing by mere inches which is just fine with her.

Simonrificus Lucasby Kagledom is getting cuter by the minute. Hava thinks his best feature is his little pointy chin. Where did that come from anyway?

Simon went out to his first restaurant yesterday: the Palo Alto Creamery at the Stanford Shopping Center. He slept through the experience.
