November in San Diego

First part of November was relatively uneventful, but a few pretty cute pics anyway!

Little builders. Such great teamwork...for at least 3 min. before conflict.

They didn't quite think their cunning plan through and pretty much literally boxed themselves in

Ada mada box. Ada got tuckered out, but seems pretty satisfied with her work. 

La Jolla cove, where Rachel does her open water swims. It is usually inundated with sea lions which often tag along with the swimmers. 

A local restaurant (Farmer and Seahorse) has some pretty awesome toys for the kids, including super Jenga. Even though it is a light-hearted, fun game, Seth seems to be contemplating the life decisions that led him to this point (he was still pretty happy most of the time).

Andy, Rachel's supervisor, had a little one-v-one soccer session with Seth. Andy prevailed in this one, but Seth vowed to train every day of his life and one day return to destroy the giant kicky monster.

Art, another of Rachel's supervisors took a less competitive approach to bonding with Seth.

Loading up the alphabet to go make some words. Seth is gaining a lot of words a week these days. They seem perfectly clear to his little ears, but we often have to work pretty hard to figure out he wants. 

Cutest little monkey in our jungle.

Sometimes Seth seems to like his daddy... 

 

...and we have to include this because coordinated good smiles are sometimes hard to come by.
