This is our first joint blog post. It’s Summer in Belmont, and as you can see, the tomatoes are growing!
We decided this would be a fun project to share our writing, art, and fun times. And plenty of pictures of Gordon.
As many of you know, Le Petit Éléphant is the name of our soap and candy “company” that comes alive for the holidays. Anna says “it’s not really a company… yet.” But someday, perhaps. You can follow its development here, I guess. And since we do make soaps, and people do seem to use them, maybe we should start taking orders for Christmas 2008. Send us an email with your orders. They come with a cool logo stamped on them.
We just returned from a week in San Diego. Here’s a top-5 list of things we saw/did:
5) Anna’s first trip to In N Out: We got our fries well-done and bought t-shirts
4) Fireworks over San Diego Bay on the Fourth: Big and loud.
3) Baseball at PETCO Park: Added another stadium to our list… Padres not good.
2) Sailing the Western Starr: Sailed out of the Coronado Yacht Club, nobly escaped three near-disasters.
1) Met the Pugs: Aunt Susan has three, and they all shed a lot. Does Mark still think he wants one?
It was a great trip, more to come soon. And we just re-potted some things in the pot garden, we need to get some pictures online!

Ohhh soaps during the holidays?!?! What could be more festive than that! I love the tomato picture by the way. Even though the tomatoes are actually quite small, they look MASSIVE!

Should the Belmont police be notified of any other types of plants that might you be growing in your pot garden?

Most definitely. We’re training our jalapenos to pack heat.
