August in SF

August is almost over - I can't believe it!!! We had a very fun month! We had lots of visitors; Kath, Lynn, Joan & Lucy and are looking forward to more guests in the months to come! We have been enjoying barbequing and eating at our real dining room table that finally came!! And now that our couch is here we actually all fit to watch TV : )

We have caught up with old friends from the east coast who are now living in San Francisco and made some new friends here. We have hung out with Kristy and Hector & Max and Teeny a couple of times, including a very fun picnic in the park followed by a showing of "Best in Show" - very funny for those who haven't seen it. Rees and Katie are coming over for dinner tonight for a little of Ted's bbq action! And we had dinner with fellow residents from UCSF last weekend.

I have been keeping busy with work, wedding stuff and pilates. Yes I am taking pilates!! It is very fun and I figure between that and our hill I should be in great shape for the wedding!! Mack tries to hit the park everyday since he no longer has his big backyard to romp in. Although he thoroughly enjoys sitting on his leash in the front basking in the sun and keeping an eye on the cats. He also has found all the sun spots inside to nap.

We actually put stuff up on the walls this week so ALL the boxes are gone!!! I can't believe there are no more boxes.....ppphhewwww! Lots of people have been asking for more pictures of the house so hopefully I have included a few that will satisfy the craving to see how we are living!! Very comfortably I must say - especially curled up on the new couch!! Hope this post finds everyone well. I will make sure to write next week after we figure out and go on our labor day adventure!

Love Maria, Ted & Mack

PS Happy Birthday again to ALL of our friends and family with August birthdays!! And to the 5 new additions to my palm - holy birth month!!
