September in Review (yup, just another photo montage)

In our efforts to get our blog up to date, here's a quick recap of September. We kept particularly busy in September throwing our first annual Oktoberfest party (with the help of some German friends to ensure its authenticity) as well as attending a few other Oktoberfest events throughout the Bay Area... We were looking for any excuse to put Zach in his lederhosen and enjoy some yummy German beer. We also managed a few day trips-- one to the Bay Area Discovery Museum and another to the Little Farm and Skunk train at Tilden Park in Berkeley. Zach enjoyed all the outings- he loved feeding the cows and goats celery, and he really enjoyed riding a real train (he's practicing his sign for 'train' in the upper left picture).

Towards the end of September we flew to Columbus, OH to hang out with friends Kurt and Dawn and meet their very sweet and beautiful 6-month old boy, Ben. We enjoyed a wonderful visit and even managed to attend the annual Columbus Oktoberfest party while there!

Phew! I think we're mostly caught up to date and can finally begin posting about some of the more recent and interesting aspects of our life out here on the West Coast... Hopefully we'll manage to post again before 2 more months go by.
