I'm WAY behind in posting, and this little addition does not help bring us all up to speed. I have to post about Halloween, Thanksgiving, the newest Kaufman, and other Kaufman accomplishments, but honestly I'm learning that there are not enough hours in the day, or should that be, hours in nap time, to play with photos and the blog. So in the mean time I hope that this snippet of a video might tide us all over. Enjoy.

The Polar Bear Swim Club
I forgot to add this AMAZING footage that I scored when Gracie and I were at the San Diego Zoo. This is what you call, being at the right place at the right time.
Hippos, Pandas, and Gorillas, OH MY!
A few weeks back, Gracie, Christian, and myself flew across the country to San Diego for a weekend trip. For Christian it was all business, but for Gracie and I it was fun in the San Diego sun when we spent the day at the world famous San Diego Zoo. Please enjoy just a snippet from the 100 acre zoo, and check out some of the extremely amazing and rare animals Gracie got to see.
Monkeys galore!!!
Meerkats are so stinkin' cute!!
A handful of the super cool zoo animals.
My Dad's favorite, a River Otter.
As of 2000 there are only six countries that are home to the endangered Black Panda. There are 150 captive Black Pandas in the entire world! The San Diego Zoo is home to three of them, and Gracie got to see one! (The other two were sleeping)
I don't think she understood just how special it was to see the Panda. 
Then Gracie got to see a giant and powerful Silverback Gorilla!! How massively impressive is he???
Even more zoo creatures!
Finally, one of the sweetest things Gracie and I got to see was this Momma hippo taking a snooze with her "little" baby hippo. 
The San Diego Zoo was such an amusing experience for both Gracie and me. It would have been even more perfect if Christian could have joined us. But nevertheless, it was a fun day for little Miss Gracie, and she got to see first hand what it truly means to be, "Happy like the Hippo."

Tis the Season...
For apple and pumpkin picking!!! For as long as I've known Christian we've gone apple and pumpkin picking for my birthday. This year's birthday tradition was enriched two fold. Not only were we blessed by taking Gracie with us, but we had so much fun that we went twice.
Gracie is totally amazing, and absolutely fearless! The first farm we went to, Alstede Farm, not only had oodles of things to pick, but they had several animals on the farm. We had carrots to feed the horses and Grace LOVED giving them a tasty treat.
Let the picking frenzy begin.
Grace was the apple supervising manager and made sure all the apples were taken care of.
I had to snap a photo of this charming scene that I discovered while peering under some branches to find some delicious apples. What a perfectly romantic home for some sweet little birds.
Gracie loves her carrier. She's super chill in it.
Gracie was also the quality control center to insure that all our apples were at the peak of ripeness. 
Apple and Pumpkin picking, round two! For our second trip out west we went to Riamede Farm.
Gracie catching a power nap on the way to the farm. She learned from the first picking extravaganza that visiting farms takes a lot of energy.
Oh my goodness! How cute is she?!? 
Christian has become a professional at apple picking. Check out the double hand picking! Nice technique.
And now some pumpkins! We picked out three really classic pumpkins this year. Check this bad boy out!
Turns out that Grace is a super pumpkin picker. Christian picks out one pumpkin (above), and WHAM! Gracie picks out almost a dozen pumpkins without breaking a sweat! That power nap really gave her a boost of energy! Whew! *wink*
So if you need a wonderful apple picking supervisor, apple quality control officer, and a spectacular pumpkin picker, might I suggest bringing along your seven and a half month old baby. And if you don't happen to have a seven and half month old baby, I think I know one that's truly remarkable who might be willing to lend a helping hand... with mommy's and daddy's permission of course. 
Happy Fall everyone! Sunday, October 9, 2011
Gracie and Mommy
Can you tell that Gracie is my daughter or what? On the left is me at nine months, and on the right is Grace at seven and a half months. I think its safe to say there is a tad bit of a resemblance. Don't you think?
