Wow – what a wild ride we have been on with the Giants. In the middle of an intense playoff series, we had an amazing visit from the two most beautiful people in the world! Grandma and Papa came to visit and it was terrific to have them here. We hung out, went to Ella’s soccer game, went to the beach, mommy, Ella and papa played golf, we went to the Academy and of course, we watched baseball! Here are some great shots from the weekend.
First night here – walking to Nama.
A little chilly waiting for Ella’s soccer game to start.
Three beauties at the beach.

Sweet love – soon Ella will be taller than grandma!
So sweet!
Now we can see their beautiful faces!
Ella and the eel.
Photo bombed!

Ella and brave mommy climbed this bridge at the Japanese Tea Garden.

Thank you for indulging me with the pics!
Sweet family shot!
Grandma and papa had to go and we weren’t able to go to any of the games with them. Here is a series of our play off photos…we had a blast at the games!
Ella at game 3 against the Nationals.
Can’t believe we’re all here together!
Silliness in our seats!

Look at this beautiful ballpark. Notice the moon!
Uh Oh – mommy looks a little nervous.
Don’t worry mommy – we’re going to win this.
Ella and her rally rags.
Uh oh – can we do this?
Oy – this game is too close!
Yes! They did it!
Ok – why not go to another game?
We can hardly stand it!

Puttling our rally rags to good use.


They did it again!
OK – we could win the pennant tonight. Let’s see what happens.
We’re so excited!
Pulling our hair out. It’s Giants Torture!

They did it! The Giants are going to the World Series!

Nikki B took us out to a delicious dinner at the Slanted Door to celebrate Sunny’s 60th. 




I had a little fun with the cotton candy too!
On the walk home…
Ella and Nikki B made all of these creatures! Talk about patience.
Rosh Hashanah. Someone is peeking!
Our last date night of the 2014 regular season.
As a family, we took part in a 5K for breast cancer. The head of the middle school at Ella’s school recently died of breast cancer, so a whole bunch of families from Ella’s school walked or ran in her memory. Ella is her daughter’s buddy this year at school.
Here is Ella and her buddy Sophie and two of Ella’s friends Marlowe and Jasmine.

Buddies!
Ella and her friends. 


The homegirl. I’m not sure what sign she’s throwing up.
Early morning love.
