Work & Play

We got to tour the new Lucile Packard Children's hospital opening Dec 2017.   We were blown away by the state of the art technology and focus on patient & family care.  Hope we don't need to come here but if we do, comforting to know we'll be in great care. 

Meet Winston, our neighbor's new 2 month old cockapoo puppy who's Teddy's half brother. 

Fo our First Lego League project, we had a talk to a professional about our hydro-loon idea.  

We had a very insightful meeting with Dad's friend, a Google X engineer.  What a great learning experience, even if it means we need to go back and tweak our project.
