Uncle Trezza comes to town

Good ol' Bill Trezza, friend for thirty years, has come out from New York for what is now becoming an annual visit with us here in the San Francisco Bay Area. Oliver adored hanging out with Billy when he was here last year and, though Ollie was barely one-and-a-half years old at that time, he seemed to instantly recognize Bill when he arrived this year.

Billy & Ollie had a great time today at nearby Ohlone Playground; we're looking forward to having lots more fun over the course of Bill's visit.

There's a few more from today in my galleries beginning here.

A chilly afternoon at Muir Beach with Ollie

It was sunny and in the mid 70's when Oliver, Katie, Jessica and I left Berkeley and headed towards Marin County to spend  few hours at the beach. Upon cresting the Richmond-San Rafael Bridge, it became clear that we weren't going to be getting any tans, as a huge fog bank could be seen rolling in off the Pacific behind Mount Tamalpais, as is often the case this time of year. We were committed, however, and made the most of our adventure at the beach. Kate & Jessica even went for a swim!

Oliver makes the scene at Stinson Beach

Ollie debuted his fancy new swimming trunks at Marin County's beautiful Stinson Beach. This was a bit of a warm-up for his impending annual visit to the Jersey Shore. He acquitted himself admirably by playing some ball, taking a dip in the ocean, frolicking in the sand, and -most importantly - making friends with lots of cute girls! Oliver is right at home on the beach.
