Golden Gate Bartletts: Our Recent "Adventures". Lots of Pics!

Gosh, it's been a while since I updated this thing! That being said, time is going so quickly and I can hardly believe we're already halfway through October! I have a few things lined up here to update with, but I haven't finished going through photos as I've been a bit lazy when it comes to editing them and organising them.

Mr 2 began soccer lessons a few weeks ago. I felt like he/we needed more things to do, especially during the week. The term began last month, so we were a bit late to the party, but oh well. The classes are held in the Marina District in a really beautiful spot. They're set right on the water in front of Alcatraz and the Golden Gate Bridge. It's a gorgeous area, and I guess how I feel about it is probably how people feel about the Harbour Bridge and the Kirribilli area when they go there for the first time.

That being said, I don't think soccer star is on the cards for a future occupation for Mr 2. He's not completely into the classes and prefers to partake in only a few of the activities they do in the 40 minute classes. Although, being a combination of myself and Robert, I guess I shouldn't be so surprised by that. Haha...

Robert's Mum came to stay with us last week after she'd been on a trip to Europe. We didn't end up doing as much with her as I thought we might have. She'd been here before and I think she mainly wanted to just see Mr 2 (and us). So she accompanied us to a soccer class and basically just experienced everyday life with us. Robert did take the week off, though, which was awesome. I have to admit that it was really nice to have a little break from full time motherhood for a bit! Heh... The most tourist-y thing we did was go to Muir Woods (again. It was the third time we've been. LOL) and Sausalito with her.

In other Bartlett life news, Mr 2 got accepted into a pre-school the other week, which is awesome. I was getting anxious not knowing whether he'd be going to a school of our choosing, so I was very relieved at this! He won't start until September next year (because that's when the school year here starts), but it's so competitive here and you really need to get in early. So I'm glad we did.

And having said that, I'm sure I had a lot more to say, but I'm so tired after a terrible night last night that I'm just going to leave you with lots of pictures. I apologise for the incoherence. I need another coffee.
